Kutshanje, xa uMark Gomez, intloko yeSwedish Analog Technologies (SAT, umbhalo osemazantsi 1), ebhengeza izixhobo ezimbini ezintsha zokulinganisa isandi eziza kuthatha indawo yengalo yakhe yokuqala yeSAT, abanye abafundi bacaphuka okanye bakhohliswa bathi: “Kutheni eyenze kakubi? kube kanye?”
Iimveliso ziyaguquka ngokuhamba kwexesha zize zikhutshwe ngexesha elicwangcisiweyo (iimoto zihlala zisekwindla), okanye xa abenzi boyilo becinga ukuba “zilungile” – izicatshulwa ezoyikisayo kuba abanye abaphuphi abazange bacinge ukuba zilungile. kuluntu lwabo, okanye bakhuphe i-V2 inyanga emva kwe-V1, banike umthengi uphawu endaweni yokuvumela uphuculo kunye nophuculo ukuba lukhule ngokuhamba kwexesha, kwaye bakhuphe i-V2 kunyaka okanye emibini.
Ngokuphathelele i-SAT, i-tonearm endayihlolayo, ndayithanda, ndaza ndayithenga ayizange ivele ngequbuliso kwimo yayo yokugqibela. UGomez wandibonisa inguqulelo yokuqala eHigh End eMunich kwaye kunyaka ophelileyo wayekulungele ukundithumelela uphononongo. Emva kokuba uluvo luthunyelwe, kwiNgxelo yoku-1 kaJulayi 2015, okwandimangalisayo kukuba ndifumene uphononongo lwangaphambili luka-2013 kwi-intanethi malunga nengalo ye-SAT eyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu eyenziwe ngefayibha yekhabhoni, kuquka ne-bearing bracket. (Kwiyunithi yam yophononongo, i-bearing bracket yenziwe ngentsimbi engagqwali.) Ngelo xesha, uGomez wenza ii-SAT ezenziwe ngokwezifiso kuphela, kungekhona oko ndingakubiza ngokuba ngumenzi.
Xa ndijonga isandla se-SAT, sasixabisa i-$28,000. Nangona ixabiso laliphezulu, elaqhubeka linyuka ngokuhamba kwexesha, ekugqibeleni uGomez wathengisa izixhobo ze-SAT ezimalunga nama-70 ngaphambi kokuba ayeke ukuvelisa. Ngaba “yingalo eBalaseleyo kwiHlabathi?” njengoko isihloko sale kholamu sisitsho? Uphawu lombuzo lubalulekile: ndingazi njani ukuba “ingcono”? Andikaze ndive ngabanye abakhuphisana nabo kuquka iVertere Acoustics Reference kunye neAcoustical Systems Axiom).
Emva kokuba uphononongo lupapashwe kwaye uthuli luhlile, ndifumene imiyalezo emininzi evela kubafundi ababesandula ukuthenga isandla ngokusekelwe kuphononongo lwam. Inzondelelo nolwaneliseko lwabo beluhlala luhleli, nto leyo eyandinceda kakhulu. Akukho mthengi undithumelele i-imeyile ekhalaza nge-SAT.
UGomez wafunda izifundo ezinzima ngexesha lokwenziwa kwesandla sokuqala, kuquka nokuba nokuba wasipakisha ngononophelo kangakanani na, umthumeli wafumana iindlela zokusiqhekeza. Wenza utshintsho oluthile lokusebenza ngexesha lokuveliswa, kuquka ukucoca inkqubo yokulinganisa ubunzima kunye nokupakisha ngokwahlukeneyo i-bearing ephezulu ethe tyaba ukuze ifakwe ebaleni ukuze kuthintelwe umonakalo wokungcangcazela (nangona uGomez endixelela ukuba oku kwenzeke kube kanye kuphela). Oku kokugqibela kulula ukutsho kunokukwenza: kufuna i-bracket entsha, eyahlulwe kancinci kunye nesixhobo sokulayisha ngokuchanekileyo ii-bearing ebaleni.
Kodwa ebesoloko esenza ezinye izinto ezintsha ngalo lonke ixesha, kangangokuba ngasekupheleni konyaka ophelileyo, uGomez wayeka ukuvelisa ingalo yokuqala ye-SAT waza wayitshintsha ngeengalo ezimbini ezintsha, nganye inobude obuyi-9″ kunye ne-12″. UGomez, ongengomntu othanda i-potchkier (umbhalo osemazantsi 2), une-master's degree kwisayensi ye-mechanical kunye nezinto kwaye akalirhoxisi ibango lakhe lokuba, zonke ezinye izinto zilingana, ingalo eyi-9-intshi ivumela i-stylus ukuba isebenze kakuhle kwindawo evulekileyo, ivelise isandi esingcono. Iziphumo zivakala ngcono kunee-turntable eziyi-12-intshi (umbhalo osemazantsi 3). Nangona kunjalo, abanye abathengi bafuna ii-turntable eziyi-12″, kwaye kwezinye iimeko (ezifana nee-back mounts zee-turntables ze-Air Force), kuphela i-turntable eyi-12″ eyaneleyo. Yintoni? thenga izixhobo ezimbini ze-SAT? Ewe.
Iimodeli ezimbini (okanye ezine) ezintsha yi-LM-09 (kunye ne-LM-12) kunye ne-CF1-09 (kunye ne-CF1-12) eziboniswe apha. Andithandi ukubiza ii-toniarms ze-$25,400 (LM-09) okanye ze-$29,000 (LM-12) ngokuthi “zifikeleleka”, kodwa xa ucinga ukuba i-CF1-09 ithengiswa nge-$48,000, i-CF1-12 ithengiswa nge-$53,000, kwaye ndonwabile ngayo. Mhlawumbi ucinga, “Ukusuka ekuveliseni ingalo enye ukuya kwezine lutshintsho olukhulu kwinkampani yomntu omnye. Mhlawumbi uGomez uxabisa kakhulu i-CF1 kangangokuba akadingi ukwenza okuninzi okanye akukho nto ayenzayo.”
Andiyi kuthembela kuyo. Ndiqinisekile ukuba nabani na onokukwazi ukuchitha i-$30,000 kwi-tonearm angasebenzisa i-$50,000 ukuba isebenza kakuhle kwaye iba ngcono. (Nceda ungabhali iileta ezithi “Umntwana Olambileyo”!)
Izandla ezintsha ze-SAT zifana kakhulu nee-SAT zokuqala kuba zifana kakhulu: isandla sokuqala ngokwaso siyilwe kakuhle kwaye sisebenza kakuhle. Enyanisweni, zombini ii-levers ezintsha ze-9″ zithatha indawo ye-SAT yokuqala.
Ngokuyila inkqubo yokuthwala enamandla kakhulu engachaphazeleki lula kumonakalo wokuthunyelwa, uGomez ukwaphucula ukusebenza kwenkqubo ngokwandisa ukuqina kwayo yonke into kunye nokunciphisa ukungqubana okungaguqukiyo kwibheri. Kuzo zombini iilever ezintsha, ifolokhwe exhasa iibheri ezithe nkqo iye yaba nkulu.
Iingalo ezintsha zinefayibha yekhabhoni ehlaziyiweyo kunye neentloko ezisuswayo ze-aluminium ezahlukileyo kwingalo nganye, ezinokuqina okuphezulu kwamalungu kunye nesenzo esijikelezayo esithambileyo sokulungiswa kwe-azimuth encinci. Iingalo nazo zintsha. Iibhanti zepolymer zeetyhubhu zengalo zokuqala azikho, kwaye ifayibha yekhabhoni engaphantsi ibonakala. UGomez akazange achaze isizathu sokuba enze oku, kodwa kusenokwenzeka ukuba i-armrest ingashiya amabala angathandekiyo ngokuhamba kwexesha - okanye, mhlawumbi, iphucula isandi. Nokuba yeyiphi na indlela, iya kunika isandla ngasinye inkangeleko eyahlukileyo.
Ungafunda okungakumbi malunga nesakhiwo esitsha sezixhobo kwi-AnalogPlanet.com. Nantsi into uGomez andixelele yona kwi-imeyile:
“Inqanaba lokusebenza kwesi sixhobo sitsha alikho ngengozi okanye ngumphumo womsebenzi owenziweyo ukuphucula ukuthembeka, kodwa sisiphumo sokwenziwa kophuhliso olucwangcisiweyo nolufuna umgudu oluhambelana ngokungenamthungo neenjongo zokuqala ezigxile ekuthembekeni.”
“Kwakhona, ndifuna ukucacisa ukuba andiyithobeli ngabom indlela esebenza ngayo imodeli enye ukuze ndikhethe eminye ukuze ihambelane nexabiso/ukusebenza – le ayisiyondlela yam kwaye ingenza ndizive ndingakhululekanga. Endaweni yoko, ndizama ukufumana indlela yokuphucula indlela esebenza ngayo imodeli ephezulu. Kule meko, uthotho lweCF1 lunebhalansi ephezulu yokusebenza, ukukhetheka kunye nexabiso.
I-LM-09 yenziwe kusetyenziswa ubuchwepheshe obutsha obuphuhlisiweyo, obungabizi kakhulu apho i-yoga kunye nezinye iindawo zesinyithi zenziwe nge-aluminium endaweni yentsimbi engatyiwayo njenge-lever yokuqala. Ubunzima obuncitshisiweyo bufanele benze i-LM-09 ihambelane ngakumbi nee-turntables zangaphandle.
Ukupakishwa, inkangeleko kunye nokulingana kufana nengalo ye-SAT yokuqala. Umphezulu ogudileyo we-aluminiyam unomtsalane kakhulu.
Kuthathe imizuzu embalwa nje ukuyivula nokumamela indlela yokutshintshana ngezandla kwiContinuum Caliburn turntable yam kwaye uphinde wenze useto. Nangona kunjalo, susa isikhuselo kwi-bearing esezantsi ethe tye, ngexesha lokuthuthwa, yahlula incam yebheri kwi-sapphire cup, kwaye utshintshe i-virtual upper bearing cup nge-upper bearing cup yokwenyani, uyilungise kwi-tip uze usete i-preload, kungcono kumthengisi. Ndenze oku, kodwa bekungelulanga kangako.
Ndisebenzise i-Ortofon MC Century Moving Coil Cartridge endayifaka ukuze ihlaziywe kwi-Septemba 2018 kwaye ndandiyazi kakuhle i-cartridge ngelo xesha. Kodwa ngaphambi koko, ndimamele ingoma kaDavy Spillane ethi “Atlantic Bridge” (LP, Tara 3019) ndaza ndayirekhoda kwi-24bit/96kHz. Iquka uSpillane kwi-bagpipes kunye ne-Willean bass, uBela Fleck kwi-acoustic guitar kunye ne-banjo, uJerry Douglas kwiDobro, uEoghan O'Neill kwi-fretless electric bass guitar, uBodran Mustache Christy Moore, njl. Irekhodwe kwaye ixutywe kakuhle kwiLansdowne Studios Studios eDublin, le albhamu inee-bass ezimangalisayo, ezinzulu, nezinomtsalane, ii-transients ezidwetshwe kakuhle kwi-strings - ii-banjos zidluliswa ngokugqibeleleyo - kunye nezinye i-sound processing, zonke zisasazwe kwinqanaba elikhulu. Umntu makaphinde ayithumele le nto!
Ukudibanisa i-SAT yokuqala kunye ne-Ortofon MC Century yenye yezona vidiyo zibalaseleyo zerekhodi ka-1987 endakha ndaziva, ingakumbi ngokubhekiselele kumandla e-bass kunye nolawulo. Ndifake i-SAT LM-09 entsha ndaza ndayidlala ndaza ndayirekhoda kwakhona.
Ndiyayiqonda into oyithethayo. Ngamanye amazwi, “ii-LP suppressors ezininzi ezindala zivakala ngcono kunezinye ezintsha”, ngoko ke ndiyavumelana nawe ngokupheleleyo.
Ewe, iindlebe zam ezimdaka zindixelela ukuba uninzi lwee-plate press ezindala zivakala kakuhle xa zithelekiswa nezintsha.
Ndicinga ukuba ingxaki ikwi-master recording hayi uxinzelelo ngokwalo. Ngaphambili, ii-vacuum tubes yayizezona zixhobo ze-elektroniki kuphela ezazikho, kwaye ngoku kukho iteknoloji eninzi yedijithali/i-solid state esetyenziswa kwi-mic/mixer/master recording.
Ngokwelizwi, ndifumana ezo LPs zomculo zakudala zestereo/mono endizifumeneyo (ezimalunga ne-1,000 nangaphezulu), ezindala zivakala ngcono (zexesha lika-1960), xa kuthethwa ngokuVULEKA, umoya kunye nokufana nobomi.

Akukho nanye kwezi LP zam zingaphezulu kwama-30 ezisebenzisa idijithali ezivakala zilungile, ngathi zigcinwe ebhokisini nangona zonke zivakala zicacile, zicocekile, zinamandla kwaye 'zichanekile' ngokwedijithali.

Njengoko bendisandula ukubhala apha kwiPhono Forum, xa ndandiqala ukudlala irekhodi lobugcisa bukaRichard Tucker beColumbia University kunye neVienna State Opera Orchestra phantsi kukaPierre Deveaux, ndamangaliswa kakhulu. (Ngoo-1960?) Ndahlala embindini wemigca emithathu yokuqala yendlu yexesha (isihlalo endisithandayo: imigca eli-10-13 embindini). Lo mdlalo uvakala uphila, uvulekile, unamandla kwaye unomtsalane. Lo mdlalo uvakala uphila, uvulekile, unamandla kwaye unomtsalane.Intsebenzo ivakala inomdla, ivulekile, inamandla kwaye inomdla.Isandi sivakala sinomdla kakhulu, sivulekile, sinamandla kwaye sinomdla. Wow! Umzekelo, uTurner (owazalelwa eBrooklyn, eNew York) ucula ngaphezu kwam eqongeni. Andikaze ndikonwabele ukudlala bukhoma ekhaya ngolu hlobo ngaphambili.
Andikaze ndithenge iirekhodi zevinyl kangangeminyaka emininzi, kodwa ndisafanele nditsho ukuba i-old press ayizange ibe ntle kangako. (Ewe, kukho iimeko ezahlukileyo, mhlawumbi yingakho ii-HP ezindala zazinqunyelwe kwiVintage Living Presence).
Kubonakala ngathi uMnu. Qasim uthenge umatshini wokuprinta okhoyo kwaye uyawuhlaziya kangangoko. Uthengisa iirekhodi zakhe ezintsha zevinyl nge-$30 ukuya kwi-$100 nganye.
I-vinyl ngoku yinto endiyithandayo kakhulu! (I-Koetsus yam yeminyaka yoo-1980 yayingasoloko ibiza kakhulu, ekuqaleni yayithengiswa nge-$1,000).
Ndisebenzise iindlebe zam nentloko yam ukonwabela i-vinyl ngaphandle kokonakalisa iakhawunti yam yebhanki!
Mhlawumbi le yikhonkco elindelekileyo: “https://swedishat.com/SAT%209%22%20vs%2012%22%20paper.pdf”.
