Ikhona le-Analog #278: Ingalo ye-Swedish Analog LM-09, i-DS Audio Master1 i-optical cartridge

Muva nje, lapho uMark Gomez, inhloko yeSwedish Analog Technologies (SAT, umbhalo waphansi 1), ememezela amathonikhali amabili amasha azothatha indawo yengalo yakhe yokuqala ye-SAT, abanye abafundi bacasuka noma bakhohliswa: “Kungani enze kabi?kanye?”
Imikhiqizo iyashintsha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi bese idedelwa ngesikhathi esimisiwe (izimoto zivame ukuba sekwindla), noma lapho abaklami bemiklamo becabanga ukuthi "isilungile" - izingcaphuno ezisabisayo ngoba abanye abaphuphi abazange bacabange ukuthi zinjalo.emphakathini wabo, noma ukhulule i-V2 ngenyanga ngemva kwe-V1, maka ikhasimende esikhundleni sokuvumela ukuthuthukiswa nokuthuthukiswa kwakheke ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, futhi ukhulule i-V2 ngonyaka noma emibili.
Ngokuqondene ne-SAT, i-tonearm engiyibukezile, ngayithanda, futhi ngathenga ayizange ivele ngendlela yayo yokugcina.U-Gomez wangibonisa inguqulo yokuqala e-High End eMunich futhi ngonyaka odlule wayelungele ukungithumela isibuyekezo.Ngemva kokuthunyelwa kwamazwana, Kushicilelo 1 July 2015, ngamangala ngithole isibuyekezo sangaphambilini esivela ku-2013 ku-inthanethi mayelana nengalo eyinkimbinkimbi ye-SAT eyenziwe ngokuphelele nge-carbon fiber, okuhlanganisa ubakaki ophethe.(Eyunithi yami yokubuyekeza, ubakaki othwalayo wenziwe ngensimbi engagqwali.) Ngaleso sikhathi, uGomez wenza ama-SAT angokwezifiso kuphela, hhayi okwamanje engingakubiza ngomkhiqizi.
Lapho ngibheka isandla se-SAT, sasibiza u-$28,000.Naphezu kwenani eliphakeme, eliqhubeka likhuphuka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, uGomez wagcina ethengise izikhali ze-SAT ezingaba ngu-70 ngaphambi kokumisa ukukhiqizwa.Ingabe “Ingalo Engcono Kakhulu Emhlabeni?”njengoba isihloko sale kholomu sisho?Uphawu lombuzo lubalulekile: ngazi kanjani ukuthi “lungcono kakhulu”?Angikaze ngizwe ngabanye abaqhudelanayo okuhlanganisa i-Vertere Acoustics Reference ne-Acoustic Systems Axiom).
Ngemuva kokushicilelwa kwesibuyekezo futhi kuthulile uthuli, ngathola imilayezo eminingi evela kubafundi abasanda kuthenga isandla ngokusekelwe ekubuyekezweni kwami.Intshiseko nokwaneliseka kwabo kwakungashintshi, okwangikhulula.Alikho ikhasimende elingithumele i-imeyili ukuze likhononde nge-SAT.
U-Gomez wafunda izifundo ezinzima ngesikhathi sokukhiqizwa kwesandla sokuqala, kuhlanganise neqiniso lokuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wawuhlanganisa ngokucophelela kangakanani, umthumeli wathola izindlela zokusiphula.Wenze izinguquko ezithile zokusebenza ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza, okuhlanganisa ukucwenga isistimu ye-counterweight kanye nokupakisha ngokuhlukile i-arelor evundlile ephezulu ukuze kufakwe inkambu ukuze kugwenywe ukulimala kokudlidliza (yize u-Gomez engitshela ukuthi lokhu kwenzeke kanye kuphela).Lokhu kwakamuva kulula ukukusho kunokukwenza: kudinga ubakaki obuthwele abahlukanisiwe obusha, kanye nethuluzi lokulayisha ngokunembile ama-bheringi ensimini.
Kodwa ubelokhu enza ezinye intuthuko ngaso sonke isikhathi, ngasekupheleni konyaka odlule, uGomez wayeka ukukhiqiza ingalo yokuqala ye-SAT futhi esikhundleni sayo wafaka izingalo ezimbili ezintsha, ngayinye engu-9″ no-12″ ubude.U-Gomez, hhayi i-potchkier (umbhalo waphansi wesi-2), uneziqu ze-master in science mechanical and materials futhi akahoxisi isimangalo sakhe sokuthi, zonke ezinye izinto ziyalingana, ingalo engama-intshi angu-9 ivumela usiba ukuthi luziphathe kangcono emseleni, lukhiqize umsindo ongcono.imiphumela Izwakala ingcono kunama-turntable angu-12-intshi (umbhalo waphansi 3).Nokho, amanye amakhasimende adinga ama-turntable angu-12″, futhi kwezinye izimo (njengama-mounts angemuva ama-turntables e-Air Force), i-turntable engu-12″ kuphela eyanele.Ini?ukuthenga izikhali ezimbili ze-SAT?Yebo.
Amamodeli amasha amabili (noma amane) i-LM-09 (ne-LM-12) ne-CF1-09 (kanye ne-CF1-12) eboniswe lapha.Ngiyakuzonda ukubiza ama-tonearms angu-$25,400 (LM-09) noma ama-$29,000 (LM-12) “athengekayo”, kodwa uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi i-CF1-09 ithengisa ngo-$48,000, i-CF1-12 ithengisa ngo-$53,000, futhi ngiyajabula ngayo.Mhlawumbe uyacabanga, “Ukusuka ekukhiqizeni ingalo eyodwa kuye kwezine kuwushintsho olukhulu enkampanini yomuntu oyedwa.Mhlawumbe uGomez uyayazisa iCF1 kangangokuthi akadingi ukwenza okuningi noma angakwenzi lutho ngayo.”
bengingeke ngithembele kukho.Nginesiqiniseko sokuthi noma ngubani ongakwazi ukusebenzisa u-$30,000 ku-tonearm angasebenzisa futhi u-$50,000 uma isebenza kakhulu futhi iba ngcono nakakhulu.(Ngicela ungabhali izinhlamvu ezithi “Ingane Elambile”!)
Izandla ezintsha ze-SAT zifana kakhulu nama-SAT asekuqaleni ngoba afana kakhulu: isandla soqobo ngokwaso siklanywe kahle futhi sisetshenziswe kahle.Eqinisweni, womabili amaleveli amasha angu-9″ athatha indawo ye-SAT yoqobo.
Ngokuklama isistimu yokuthwala eqinile engajwayele ukulimala ngenxa yemikhumbi, i-Gomez iphinde ithuthukise ukusebenza kwesistimu ngokwandisa ukuqina okuphelele nokunciphisa ukungqubuzana okumile ekuthwaleni.Kuwo womabili amaleveli amasha, imfoloko esekela ama-bearings aqondile isikhudlwana.
Izingalo ezintsha zifaka i-carbon fiber eklanywe kabusha kanye nezindlu zekhanda ezikhiphekayo ze-aluminium ezihlukile engalweni ngayinye, ezinokuqina okuphezulu kwamalunga kanye nokujikeleza okushelelayo kokulungisa ukulungiswa kwe-azimuth kakhudlwana.Izindawo zokuphumuza izikhali nazo zintsha.Izihlahla ze-polymer zamashubhu angalo okuqala azikho, futhi i-carbon fiber ngaphansi iyabonakala.U-Gomez akazange achaze ukuthi kungani ekwenzile, kodwa kungenzeka ukuthi i-armrest ingashiya amamaki angathandeki ngokuhamba kwesikhathi - noma, cishe, ithuthukisa umsindo.Noma iyiphi indlela, izonikeza isandla ngasinye ukubukeka okuyingqayizivele.
Ungafunda kabanzi mayelana nesakhiwo esisha sezikhali ku-AnalogPlanet.com.Nakhu uGomez angitshele kona ku-imeyili:
“Izinga lokusebenza kwesikhali esisha aliyona ingozi noma umkhiqizo osanda kwenziwa ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukwethembeka, kodwa liwumphumela wokuphindwaphindwa kwentuthuko ngamabomu nokufunayo okuhlanganisa ngaphandle komthungo nezinjongo zasekuqaleni ezigxile ekuthembekeni.
“Futhi, ngifuna ukucaca ukuthi angehlisi ngamabomu ukusebenza kwemodeli eyodwa ukuze ngivune ezinye ukuze zilingane nenani lentengo/ukusebenza - lesi akusona isitayela sami futhi kungase kungenze ngizizwe ngingakhululekile.Kunalokho, ngizama ukuthola indlela yokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwemodeli ephezulu.Kulokhu, uchungechunge lwe-CF1 lunebhalansi ye-premium yokusebenza, okukhethekile kanye nethegi yentengo.
I-LM-09 ikhiqizwa kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe besakhiwo obusanda kuthuthukiswa, obungabizi kakhulu lapho ijoka nezinye izingxenye zensimbi zenziwe nge-aluminium esikhundleni sensimbi engagqwali njenge-lever yasekuqaleni.Isisindo esincishisiwe kufanele senze i-LM-09 ihambisane kakhulu nama-turntable angaphandle.
Ukupakishwa, ukubukeka nokufaneleka kuyefana nengalo ye-SAT yasekuqaleni.Ubuso obushelelezi be-aluminium bukhanga kakhulu.
Kuthathe amaminithi ambalwa nje ukuyiveza futhi ngilalele ukuthi ungashintshana kanjani izandla ku-turntable yami ye-Continuum Caliburn futhi ukhiqize kabusha izilungiselelo.Kodwa-ke, susa isihlangu kubheyili ephansi evundlile, ngesikhathi sokuthutha, hlukanisa ithiphu elithwalayo enkomishini yesafire, bese ubuyisela inkomishi ephethe phezulu ebonakalayo nendebe ephethe phezulu yangempela, uyilungise phezulu bese usetha ukulayisha kuqala, okungcono kakhulu kumthengisi.Ngenza lokhu, kodwa kwakungelula neze.
Ngisebenzise i-Ortofon MC Century Moving Coil Cartridge engayifakela ukuthi ibuyekezwe kumagazini kaSepthemba 2018 futhi ngase ngilazi kahle ikhathriji ngaleso sikhathi.Kepha ngaphambi kwalokho, ngilalele iculo likaDavy Spillane elithi “Atlantic Bridge” (LP, Tara 3019) ngaliqopha ngo-24bit/96kHz.Ihlanganisa u-Spillane kuma-bagpipes nama-bass e-Willean, u-Bela Fleck ku-acoustic guitar ne-banjo, uJerry Douglas ku-Dobro, u-Eoghan O'Neill ku-fretless bass electric guitar, i-bodran Mustache Christy Moore, njll. Kuqoshwe futhi kuxutshwe kahle kakhulu e-Lansdowne, e-Deep Dublin, ku-albhamu epholile, e-Dublin well-drawn izintambo - ama-banjo adluliswa kahle - nokunye ukucutshungulwa komsindo, konke kusatshalaliswa esiteji esikhulu.Othile kufanele akuthumele kabusha lokhu!
Inhlanganisela ye-SAT yasekuqaleni kanye ne-Ortofon MC Century ingenye yezindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokuqoshwa kwe-1987 engake ngazizwa, ikakhulukazi mayelana namandla e-bass nokulawula.Ngafaka i-SAT LM-09 entsha ngadlala futhi ngaqopha iculo futhi.
Ngiyakuqonda okushoyo.Ukubeka ngenye indlela: "abacindezeli be-LP abaningi abadala bazwakala kangcono kunabaningi abasha", khona-ke ngivumelana nawe ngokuphelele.
Yebo, izindlebe zami ezingcolile zingitshela ukuthi imishini yokunyathelisa emidala emidala izwakala kahle kakhulu uma iqhathaniswa nemisha.
Ngicabanga ukuthi inkinga iku-master recording hhayi ngengcindezi uqobo.Esikhathini esidlule, amashubhu e-vacuum ayewukuphela kwezinto zikagesi ezitholakalayo, futhi manje kunenqwaba yobuchwepheshe besimo sedijithali/obuqinile obusetshenziswa ku-mic/mixer/master recording.
Ngokwami, ngithola lawo ma-LP omculo we-stereo/mono wakudala engiwathole (amanye angu-1,000+), amadala azwakala kangcono (wenkathi ka-1960), ngesikhathi OKUVULEKA, komoya kanye nokufana nempilo. Ngokwami, ngithola lawo ma-LP omculo we-stereo/mono wakudala engiwathole (amanye angu-1,000+), amadala azwakala kangcono (wenkathi ka-1960), ngesikhathi OKUVULEKA, komoya kanye nokufana nempilo.Mayelana nomsindo, ngithola amarekhodi amadala e-stereo/mono omculo wakudala enginawo (cishe 1000+) amadala azwakala kangcono (inkathi yawo-1960) ngokuya OKUVULA, umoya nokuba ngokoqobo.Mayelana nomsindo, ngithola ukuthi amarekhodi omculo we-stereo/mono amadala enginawo (cishe angu-1000+) azwakala kangcono kwawakudala (1960s) mayelana ne-OPENNESS, umoya kanye nokuba ngokoqobo. Awekho kuma-LPs ami angu-30+ edijithali azwakala kahle, njengokuvaleleka ebhokisini naphezu kokuthi wonke azwakala ecacile, ehlanzekile, ehlabayo futhi 'elungile' ngokwedijithali. Awekho kuma-LPs ami angu-30+ edijithali azwakala kahle, njengokuvaleleka ebhokisini naphezu kokuthi wonke azwakala ecacile, ehlanzekile, ehlabayo futhi 'elungile' ngokwedijithali.Awekho ama-albhamu ami angu-30+ enziwe ngompetha bedijithali azwakala ekahle njengokuthi afakwe ebhokisini, naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi wonke azwakala ecacile ngokwedijithali, ehlanzekile, ehlabayo futhi “elungile”.Akukho nokukodwa kokurekhodiwe kwami ​​​​kokungaphezu kuka-30 okwenziwe ngompetha kwedijithali okuzwakale kukuhle sengathi ngisebhokisini, nakuba konke kuzwakala kucacile, kuhlanzekile, kunamandla futhi “kuqondile” ngokwedijithali.
Njengoba ngisanda kubhala lapha kuPhono Forum, lapho ngiqala ukudlala irekhodi lobuciko bobuciko beNyuvesi yaseColumbia kaRichard Tucker endala neVienna State Opera Orchestra ngaphansi kukaPierre Deveaux, ngamangala ngokujabula okukhulu.(1960s?) Empeleni ngangihlala phakathi nendawo yemigqa yokuqala emi-3 yendlu yenkathi (isihlalo sami engisithandayo: imigqa 10-13 phakathi nendawo). Ukusebenza kuzwakala kubukhoma, kuvulekile, kunamandla futhi kuyaheha. Ukusebenza kuzwakala kubukhoma, kuvulekile, kunamandla futhi kuyaheha.Ukusebenza kuzwakala kuvusa amadlingozi, kuvulekile, kunamandla futhi kuyajabulisa.Ukusebenza kuzwakala kuvusa amadlingozi, kuvulekile, kunamandla futhi kuyajabulisa.Hewu!Ngokwesibonelo, uTurner (owazalelwa eBrooklyn, eNew York) ucula ngenhla kwami ​​emsamo.Angikaze ngikujabulele ukudlala bukhoma ekhaya kanjena.
Angikawathengi amarekhodi e-vinyl emashumini eminyaka, kodwa noma kunjalo kufanele ngisho ukuthi umshini omdala awuzange ube muhle kangako.(Yebo, kukhona okuhlukile, okungenzeka ukuthi kungani ama-HP amadala ayenqunyelwe ku-Vintage Living Presence).
UMnu. Qasim ubonakala ewuthengile umshini wokunyathelisa okhona futhi uwulungisa kabusha ngangokunokwenzeka.Uthengisa amarekhodi akhe amasha e-vinyl ngama-$30 kuya ku-$100 lilinye.
I-Vinyl manje isiwukuzilibazisa obiza kakhulu!(I-Koesus yami yama-1980 yayingashibhile, ekuqaleni yayithengiswa nge-$1,000).
Ngisebenzise izindlebe nekhanda lami ukuze ngijabulele i-vinyl ngaphandle kokonakalisa i-akhawunti yami yasebhange!
