AE's showroom
Piano Tuner (PT) granted me an honor to visit AE's showroom in the afternoon last Saturday. I stayed over 2 hours at this place. It was a very good chance for me to learn more about the products , to enjoy some good music replay and to re-discover the relationship between music and HiFi. The audition session was based on 2… -
Re: First real pics of Da Vinci Master Virtu Reference Preamp
In an inflationary world, price of everything has gone up in a continuously manner. The CHF and JPY relative to the USD/HKD, in particular, have both risen to unprecedented highs. I have seen some other Japanese tube preamp/poweramp with retail price reaching at HK$900,000 and tube power amps at HK$1.68mn. I said to… -
Re: 2022年音展裡的 “御品港樂” - 港樂要傳承
能夠做到極致級的重播震憾心弦,我認為下列三點非常重要: 1. 優良的錄音軟件 2. 重播系統要具備充足的工具,去調節不同參 數作出微調3. 對音樂聆聽的認知和要求 八九十年代的港樂軟件錄音水平(1)往往和歐美音樂軟件比較之下都被看低一缐。這是客觀事實,但這些有故事、有畫面、有個人唱風的錄音,其實盛載了優秀的流行文化,是大家熟悉陪伴著成長的歌,所以這些港樂錄音有深層意思,解釋了這些黑膠更是「買少見少」的現象。 我們憑著投放在(2)的資源,和(3)的硏究,令重播港樂耳目一新。能見證到每位觀眾的投入,和收看正播的統計數字,已肯定努力沒有白費。 Chris兩年前為「惜食堂」以 “港樂欣賞” 作籌款主題,以及常在Facebook分享他用iPhone… -
Collective Wisdom: The Case of Cessaro
In the past few weeks, there were many audio activities going within the AE community. What contributes a fruitful gathering, in my opinion, is the process of identifying the problems and the subsequent discussions/debates leading to the final solutions to the problem. The enormous dynamic capability of the Vekian made… -
FMR - The Lady Wears Mikimoto
A string of Mikimoto will endear any fine lady. Each Mikimoto pearl represents a life of its own with a radiating lustre that nutures and warms the heart of the beholders. Diamonds and gold are wordly, but pearls are part of Mother Nature. It has neither the blinding flash nor the sheer opulence that creates the "wow"… -
Re: IKIGAI cables 令我感動淚流
I got the last Kangai ground cable from the latest batch delivered to AE Central. The cable conductor consists of 4N silver and gold. I connected the cable to signal (coaxial port) ground of Weiss DAC502 to Tripoint Signature NG. It replaces 2 ground cables I had been using at the dac. They were Dalby's Meda ground cable… -
Re: Some Questions for Uncle Ray
Answer to Q2 Hello Alecy, how are you doing with your Tidal suite? Can you tame it? No hard work, no good sound especially we are in the Tidal camp. Let me try to answer your question by logics. Unlike speaker cable, interconnect cables and digital cables, the AC is cable not directly on the signal path. The reason why AC… -
Re: Exclusive interview with Peter Brem of DaVinci Audio
The Third Surprise: Durand Telea 2 tonearm + Kansui + Trinity Phono + Gabriel turntable I mentioned in another thread that in the past few days, I have had 3 pleasant surprises after visiting AE showrooms. Dalby feet and the full blown Chopin signature speaker system were the first 2. The last one was the resurrection of… -
