I kēia mau lā, i ka wā i hoʻolaha ai ʻo Marc Gomez, ke poʻo o Swedish Analog Technologies (SAT, footnote 1), i ʻelua mau kani kani hou e pani ai i kāna kani kani SAT mua, ua huhū kekahi poʻe heluhelu, a i ʻole hoʻi i ka hoʻopunipuni: "No ke aha ʻo ia ʻAʻole i hana pololei i hoʻokahi manawa? manawa?"
Hoʻololi nā huahana i ka manawa a laila hoʻokuʻu ʻia e like me ka papa kuhikuhi (nā kaʻa, maʻamau i ka hāʻule) a i ʻole ka manaʻo o nā mea hana hoʻolālā ua "mākaukau" - nā ʻōlelo weliweli no ka mea ʻaʻole i manaʻo kekahi poʻe moeʻuhane ua mākaukau nā hoʻolālā a no laila ʻaʻole e hoʻokuʻu iā lākou i ka lehulehu, a i ʻole e hoʻokuʻu iā V2 i hoʻokahi mahina ma hope o V1.
A hiki i ka SAT hele, ka tonearm aʻu i loiloi ai, hāʻule i ke aloha me, a kūʻai ʻia ʻaʻole i ʻike koke ʻia ma ke ʻano hoʻopau. ʻO kaʻu laʻana hōʻike manaʻo he pale pale i hana ʻia me ke kila kila.
I koʻu nānāʻana i ka lima SAT, ua kūʻaiʻia he $ 28,000. ʻOiai ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe - i hoʻomau i ka piʻiʻana i ka manawa - ua kūʻai hopeʻo Gomez e pili ana i nā mea kaua 70 SAT ma mua o ka hoʻokuʻuʻana i ka hana. ʻO ia ka "Best Tonearm in the World?" e like me ka nīnau ʻana o ke poʻo o kēlā kolamu? He mea nui ka māka nīnau: pehea wau e ʻike ai ʻo ia ka “ʻoi loa”?
Ma hope o ka paʻi ʻia ʻana o ka loiloi a hoʻopaʻa ʻia ka lepo, ua loaʻa iaʻu nā leka he nui mai ka poʻe heluhelu i kūʻai wale i ka lima ma muli o kaʻu loiloi. Ua kūlike ko lākou hoihoi a me ka ʻoluʻolu - he hōʻoluʻolu iaʻu.
Ua aʻo ʻo Gomez i kekahi mau haʻawina koʻikoʻi i ka wā o ka hana ʻana i ka lima kumu, me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ʻaʻole i mālama pono ʻia ʻo ia, ua hele ka mea lawe moku i kāna ala e wāwahi ai. a he mea paahana no ka hoouka mua ana i na bea ma ke kula.
Akā ke hana nei ʻo ia i nā hoʻomaikaʻi ʻē aʻe i nā manawa a pau, no laila i ka hopena o ka makahiki i hala ua hoʻopau ʻo Gomez i ka hana ʻana i ka lima SAT kumu a hoʻololi iā ia me ʻelua mau lima hou, ʻo kēlā me kēia ana he 9 iniha a me 12 iniha ka lōʻihi. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka stylus o ka pahu pahu. Eia nō naʻe, makemake kekahi mau mea kūʻai aku i nā lima 12″, a i kekahi mau hihia (no ka laʻana, nā mauna hope no nā turntables Air Force), ʻo 12 wale nō ka lima ʻīniha ka maikaʻi. He aha? Ua kūʻai maoli paha kekahi i ʻelua mau mea kaua SAT? ʻAe.
ʻO nā hiʻohiʻona hou ʻelua (a ʻehā paha) ʻo ka LM-09 (a me LM-12) a me CF1-09 (a me CF1-12) i hōʻike ʻia ma aneʻi. Ke kūʻai aku nei au i $53,000 a hauʻoli wau iā ia. Malia paha ke noʻonoʻo nei ʻoe, "ʻO ka hele ʻana mai ka hana ʻana i hoʻokahi tonearm a i ʻehā, he loli nui ia no kahi hui kanaka hoʻokahi. Malia paha ke kumu kūʻai nei ʻo Gomez i ka CF1 kiʻekiʻe loa ʻaʻole pono ʻo ia e hana i nā mea he nui a i ʻole kekahi o lākou."
ʻAʻole au e manaʻo i kēlā. Ua maopopo iaʻu ʻo ka mea hiki ke hoʻolilo i $30,000 ma ka tonearm hiki ke hoʻolilo i $50,000 inā ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi.
Ua like loa nā lima hou o ka SAT me ka SAT kumu no ka mea ua like loa lākou: ʻo ka lima kumu ponoʻī i hoʻolālā maikaʻi ʻia a hana maikaʻi ʻia.
ʻOiai e hoʻolālā ana i kahi ʻōnaehana halihali ikaika ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka pōʻino i ka wā o ka lawe ʻana, hoʻomaikaʻi pū ʻo Gomez i kāna hana ma o ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻoʻoleʻa holoʻokoʻa a me ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka friction static o ka bearing.
ʻO nā lima lima hou i hoʻolālā hou ʻia, hiki ke hoʻoneʻe ʻia a me nā puʻupuʻu poʻo aluminika - ʻokoʻa no kēlā me kēia lima - me ka ʻoi aku o ka ʻoi aku o ka hoʻohui ʻana a me ka hana rotational smoother no ka hoʻonohonoho azimuth ʻoi aku ka pololei. hōʻailona ma luna o ka manawa - a i ʻole, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kani ʻana. ʻO kēlā me kēia ala, e hāʻawi i kēlā me kēia lima i kahi hiʻohiʻona kūʻokoʻa.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke heluhelu hou aʻe e pili ana i ke ʻano mea kaua hou ma AnalogPlanet.com.Eia ka mea a Gomez i haʻi mai iaʻu ma ka leka uila:
"ʻO ka pae hana o ka mea kaua hou ʻaʻole ia he ulia pōpilikia a i ʻole he hopena o ka hana i hana ʻia e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka ikaika, akā ʻo ia ka hopena o ka noʻonoʻo a me ke koi ʻana i nā hoʻomohala hoʻomohala e hoʻohui pono ʻia me nā pahuhopu kumu ikaika.
"Eia hou, makemake au e hoʻomaopopo ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo e hōʻemi i ka hana o kekahi kumu hoʻohālike i makemake ʻia i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e kūpono i ke kumu kūʻai/hana hana - ʻaʻole ia koʻu ʻano, a ʻo ka hana ʻana pēlā e hōʻoluʻolu ʻole ai iaʻu.

ʻO ka packaging, hōʻike a me ke kūpono e like me ka lima SAT kumu.
He mau minuke wale nō ia e hoʻokomo ai i loko a hoʻolohe i ka hoʻololi ʻana i nā lima ma luna o koʻu papa hoʻololi ʻo Continuum Caliburn a e hoʻopili i nā hoʻonohonoho. ʻoluʻolu.

Recorded and mixed brilliant at Lansdowne Studios in Dublin, the album has amazing, deep, punchy bass, well-drawn transients on the strings – the banjos are perfectly captured, and more sounds!
ʻO ka hui pū ʻana o ka SAT mua a me Ortofon MC Century kekahi o nā kope maikaʻi loa o ka hoʻopaʻa leo 1987 aʻu i lohe ai, ʻoi aku hoʻi no kona mana bass a me ka mana.

ʻAe, haʻi mai koʻu mau pepeiao ʻeleʻele iaʻu he nui nā paʻi LP kahiko i kani maikaʻi loa ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā mea hou.
Manaʻo wau he pilikia i ka haku hoʻopaʻa ʻana, ʻaʻole ʻo ke kaomi ponoʻī. I ka wā ma mua, ʻo nā paipu māmā wale nō ka mea uila i loaʻa, a i kēia manawa ua nui nā ʻenehana kikohoʻe/paʻa paʻa i hoʻohana ʻia i loko o ka mic/mixing/master recording.
Sonically, ʻike wau ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o kēlā mau mele kahiko stereo/mono classical LP i loaʻa iaʻu (ma kahi o 1,000+) i nā mea kahiko (1960s) ma ke ʻano o ka OPENness, airiness, a me ka ʻoiaʻiʻo.
E like me kaʻu i hoʻopuka ai ma ka Phono Forum ma ʻaneʻi, ua pāʻani au no ka manawa mua i kahi kahiko Colombian Masters label LP na Richard Tucker i koʻu hoʻokani ʻana i ka Vienna State Opera Orchestra i alakaʻi ʻia e Pierre Dervaux no ka manawa mua: French opera aria, ua hauʻoli wau. vivid, open, powerful and engaging.Wow! Like Turner (he kamaaina no Brooklyn, NY) e hīmeni ana ma luna pono oʻu ma ka podium. ʻAʻole au i loaʻa iaʻu kahi leʻaleʻa ola ma ka home ma mua.

He leʻaleʻa pipiʻi loa ka Vinyl i kēia manawa! (ʻAʻole i kūʻai kūʻai koʻu Koetsus i ka makahiki 1980, kūʻai mua ʻia no $1,000).
Ua hoʻohana au i koʻu mau pepeiao a me koʻu poʻo e leʻaleʻa i ka vinyl me ka haki ʻole i kaʻu waihona waihona!
