Muva nje, lapho uMarc Gomez, inhloko ye-Swedish Analog Technologies (SAT, umbhalo waphansi we-1), ememezela amathonearmu amasha amabili azothatha isikhundla sakhe sokuqala se-SAT tonearm, abanye abafundi bacasuka, noma bazitika ngobuqili: “Kungani engazange akwenze kahle kanye? Isikhathi?”
Imikhiqizo iyashintsha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi bese idedelwa ngokuvumelana neshejuli (izimoto, ngokuvamile ekwindla) noma lapho abaklami-bakhi becabanga ukuthi “sebelungile” – izingcaphuno ezisabisayo ngoba abanye abaphuphi abazange bacabange ukuthi isilungile Imiklamo isilungile ngakho-ke ungalokothi uyikhiphele emphakathini, noma ukhulule i-V2 ngenyanga ngemva kwe-V1, phawula ikhasimende, esikhundleni sokuvumela ukuthuthukiswa nokuthuthuka kwakheke ngemva konyaka, noma ukuletha i-V2 ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Ngokuqondene ne-SAT, i-tonearm engiyibukezile, ngayithanda, futhi ngathenga ayizange ivele ifomu eliqediwe. U-Gomez wangibonisa i-iteration yokuqala e-High End eMunich, futhi ngonyaka odlule wazizwa ekulungele ukungithumelela isibuyekezo.Ngemva kokushicilelwa kwamazwana, kumagazini kaJulayi 2015 1, ngokumangala kwami, ngathola ukuphawula kwangaphambilini kwe-SATphistic ye-carbon 2013 egcwele kakhulu Ingalo, okuhlanganisa ubakaki abaphethe.(Isampula yami yokubuyekeza yayinobakaki obuthwele owenziwe ngensimbi engagqwali.) Ngaleso sikhathi, uGomez wayesanda kwenza i-SAT ukuze a-ode, hhayi okwamanje engangingakubiza ngomkhiqizi.
Lapho ngibheka ingalo ye-SAT, yayibiza u-$ 28,000. Naphezu kwenani eliphakeme - eliqhubeka likhuphuka ngokuhamba kwesikhathi - uGomez wagcina ethengise izikhali ze-SAT ezingaba ngu-70 ngaphambi kokumisa ukukhiqiza.Ingabe "I-Tonearm Engcono Kakhulu Emhlabeni?" njengoba isihloko saleyo kholomu sibuza?Uphawu lombuzo lubalulekile: ngazi kanjani ukuthi “lungcono kakhulu”?Angikaze ngizwe ngabanye abaqhudelanayo, okuhlanganisa i-Vertere Acoustics Reference kanye ne-Acoustic Systems Axiom).
Ngemva kokushicilelwa kwesibuyekezo futhi kuthulile uthuli, ngathola imilayezo eminingi evela kubafundi abasanda kuthenga ingalo ngokusekelwe ekubuyekezweni kwami.Intshiseko nokwaneliseka kwabo kwakungashintshile - impumuzo kimi.Akekho noyedwa umthengi owangithumelela i-imeyili ekhononda nge-SAT.
U-Gomez wafunda izifundo ezinzima ngesikhathi sokukhiqizwa kwengalo yasekuqaleni, kuhlanganise neqiniso lokuthi kungakhathaliseki ukuthi wayipakisha ngokucophelela kangakanani, umthumeli wathola izindlela zokuyiphula.Wenza izinguquko ezithile zokusebenza ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza, kuhlanganise nokuthuthukisa uhlelo lwe-counterweight, nokupakisha ukuthwala okuphezulu okuvundlile ngokwehlukana ukuze kufakwe insimu ukuze kugwenywe ukulimala okuvela ekudlidlizeni (nakuba u-Gomez engitshela ukuthi lokhu kuye kwenzeka kuphela ukuhlukaniswa okusha, ingxenye yokugcina idinga ukuthi kube lula nje, ingxenye yokugcina yenziwe kalula). kanye nethuluzi lokulayisha ngokunembile ama-bearings ensimini.
Kodwa ubelokhu enza okunye ukuthuthukiswa ngaso sonke isikhathi, ngakho ngasekupheleni konyaka odlule u-Gomez wayeka ukukhiqiza ingalo ye-SAT yasekuqaleni futhi esikhundleni sayo wafaka izingalo ezimbili ezintsha, ngayinye inobude obungama-intshi angu-9 no-12 amayintshi ubude. ivumela isitayela se-cartridge ukuthi siziphathe kangcono emseleni, sikhiqiza imiphumela engcono Umsindo ungcono kunezingalo ezingu-12″ (umbhalo waphansi 3). Kodwa-ke, amanye amakhasimende afuna izingalo eziyi-12″, futhi kwezinye izimo (ngokwesibonelo, ama-mounts angemuva ama-turntables e-Air Force), yi-12 kuphela Ingalo eyi-intshi elungile. Ini? Ingabe othile ngempela uthenge izikhali ezimbili ze-SAT? Yebo.
Amamodeli amasha amabili (noma amane) yi-LM-09 (kanye ne-LM-12) kanye ne-CF1-09 (kanye ne-CF1-12) ethulwe lapha. Ngiyakuzonda ukuchaza amathoni ezikhali athengiswa ngo-$25,400 (LM-09) noma ama-$29,000 (LM-12) ngokuthi “athengekayo”, kodwa uma kucatshangelwa i-09CF-04 CF1,200 CF1-04. ithengiswa ngo-$53,000 futhi ngiyajabula ngayo. Mhlawumbe uyacabanga, “Ukusuka ekwenzeni ithonearm eyodwa kuye kwezine kuwushintsho olukhulu enkampanini yomuntu oyedwa. Mhlawumbe uGomez ubiza i-CF1 phezulu kangangokuthi akudingeki enze eziningi noma enye yazo.”
Ngeke ngithembele kulokho.Ngiqinisekile ukuthi noma ubani ongakwazi ukusebenzisa u-$30,000 ethenga i-tonearm angasebenzisa futhi u-$50,000 uma isebenza kakhulu futhi iba ngcono nakakhulu.(Sicela ungabhali izinhlamvu ezithi “Ingane Elambile”!)
Izingalo ezintsha ze-SAT zibukeka zifana kakhulu ne-SAT yoqobo ngoba zifana kakhulu: ingalo yasekuqaleni ngokwayo iklanywe kahle futhi yenziwe kahle.Eqinisweni, zombili izingalo ezintsha ezingu-9″ ziwukungena esikhundleni se-SAT yoqobo.
Ngenkathi eklama isistimu yokuthwala eqinile engathinteki kalula ekulimaleni ngesikhathi sokuthutha, i-Gomez iphinde yathuthukisa ukusebenza kwayo ngokwandisa ukuqina okuphelele nokunciphisa ukungqubuzana okumile kwe-bearing. Kuzo zombili izingalo ezintsha, ijoka elisekela ama-bearings aqondile selikhudlwana.
Isici sezingalo ezintsha eziklanywe kabusha, i-carbon fiber ekhiphekayo namagobolondo ekhanda le-aluminium - ahlukile engalweni ngayinye - anokuqina okuphezulu okuhlanganayo kanye nesenzo sokujikeleza esishelelayo sokusetha okunembe kakhudlwana kwe-azimuth. Amashubhu engalo nawo masha. Imikhono ye-polymer yamashubhu engalo yasekuqaleni isusiwe, futhi i-carbon fiber ngaphansi iyabonakala. amamaki angabonakali ngokuhamba kwesikhathi - noma, cishe, enza umsindo ongcono.Kunoma yikuphi, kuzonikeza ingalo ngayinye ukubukeka okuyingqayizivele.
Ungafunda kabanzi mayelana nesakhiwo esisha sezikhali ku-AnalogPlanet.com.Nakhu uGomez angitshele kona ku-imeyili:
“Izinga lokusebenza kwesikhali esisha aliyona iphutha noma umkhiqizo owenziwe ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukuqina, kodwa liwumphumela wokuphindwaphindwa okucatshangelwayo kwentuthuko okuhlanganisa ngokuphumelelayo nezinjongo zangempela eziqhutshwa ukuqina.
"Futhi, ngifuna ukukucacisa ukuthi angehlisi ngamabomu ukusebenza kwemodeli eyodwa ukuze ngivune abanye ukuze ngilingane nenani lentengo/ububanzi bokusebenza - akusona isitayela sami leso, futhi ukwenza kanjalo kuzongenza ngingakhululeki. Kunalokho, Ngizama ukuthola indlela yokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwemodeli ephezulu. Kulokhu, uchungechunge lwe-CF1 luneprimiyamu ngokwemibandela yokusebenza kanye nentengo kuphela.
I-LM-09 ikhiqizwa kusetshenziswa indlela yokwakha ebiza kancane esanda kuthuthukiswa, enejoka layo nezinye izingxenye zensimbi ezenziwe nge-aluminium, kunensimbi engagqwali njengengalo yasekuqaleni.Isisindo esincishisiwe kufanele senze i-LM-09 ihambisane kakhulu nama-turntable alengayo.
Ukupakishwa, ukwethulwa kanye nokulingana kuyafana nengalo ye-SAT yasekuqaleni.Indawo ebushelelezi ye-aluminium iyathandeka kakhulu.
Kuthathe amaminithi ambalwa nje ukuyifaka futhi ngilalele ukushintsha izingalo ku-turntable yami ye-Continuum Caliburn nokuphindaphinda izilungiselelo.Nokho, susa iwasha eyisivikelo kubheyili evundlile engezansi, ngesikhathi sokuthumela, hlukanisa ichopho lebhere endebeni yesafire bese ubuyisela inkomishi ephethe phezulu ebonakalayo enenkomishi yangempela ephethe phezulu, faka i-tip bese usetha kangcono ngokwenza ukulayisha. yona, kodwa yayingakhululekile neze.
Ngasebenzisa i-Ortofon's MC Century Moving Coil Cartridge, engangiyifakile ukuze ibuyekezwe kumagazini ka-September 2018, futhi ngase ngilazi kahle ikhathuriji ngaleso sikhathi. Kodwa ngaphambi kwalokho, ngalalela ingoma yesihloko se-Atlantic Bridge ka-Davy Spillane (LP, Tara 3019) futhi ngenza i-24-bit/96kHz ipayipi e-Itsleanné, i-Itsleanné eqoshiwe kanye ne-Itsleanné eqopha izici ze-Spillane. U-Fleck ku-acoustic guitar ne-banjo, uJerry Douglas ku-Dobro, u-Eoghan O'Neill ku-fretless bass kagesi, ne-bodhran Sebenzisa uChristy Moore, njll.Irekhodwe futhi yaxutshwa kahle kakhulu e-Lansdowne Studios e-Dublin, i-albhamu inamabhess amangalisayo, ajulile, ahlabayo, izingoma ezikhanyiswe kahle ziyizinto ezidlulayo ezitholakalayo - ukuthwebula izingoma ezidlulayo. ngaphandle kwesiteji esikhulu.Othile kufanele akubhale kabusha lokhu!
Inhlanganisela ye-SAT yokuqala kanye ne-Ortofon MC Century ingenye yezindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokwenziwa kabusha kwerekhodi lika-1987 engake ngakuzwa, ikakhulukazi ngamandla ayo ebhesi nokulawula.Ngafaka i-SAT LM-09 entsha ngadlala futhi ngaqopha ithrekhi futhi.
Ngiyakuqonda okushoyo.Uma ukubeka ngenye indlela: “izici ze-LP eziningi ezindala zisazwakala zingcono kunezintsha eziningi”, ngivumelana nawe ngokuphelele.
Yebo, izindlebe zami ezingcolile zingitshela ukuthi imishini eminingi yokunyathelisa emidala ye-LP isazwakala iyimihle kakhulu uma iqhathaniswa nemisha.
Ngicabanga ukuthi kuyinkinga ngokurekhoda okuyinhloko, hhayi ingcindezi ngokwayo.Esikhathini esidlule, amashubhu e-vacuum ayewukuphela kwezinto zikagesi ezitholakalayo, futhi manje sekunobuchwepheshe obuningi bedijithali/besimo esiqinile obusetshenziswa kuyo yonke i-mic/mixing/master recording.
Ngokwami, ngithola ukuthi lawo ma-LP omculo we-stereo/mono amadala engiwatholayo (cishe angu-1,000+) azwakala kangcono kwasebekhulile (1960s) ngokuya NGOKUVULA, umoya, nokuba ngokoqobo. Alikho irekhodi lami ledijithali elingu-30+ elizwakala limnandi kangako, njengokuvaleleka ebhokisini, nakuba wonke ayezwakala “ecacile, ehlanzekile, ehlanzekile ngokwedijithali.”
Njengoba ngisanda kuthumela kuPhono Forum lapha, lapho ngidlala iVienna State Opera Orchestra eqhutshwa uPierre Dervaux okokuqala, ngadlala okokuqala ilebula yakudala yaseColombia Masters LP eculwa nguRichard Tucker: I-French opera aria, ngamangala ngokumangazayo.(1960s?) Empeleni ngazithola ngihlezi phakathi nendawo yendlu eyintandokazi engu-3 yokuqala (i-oeraw yami engu-3 yokuqala). isikhungo).Umdlalo uzwakala ucace kakhulu, uvulekile, unamandla futhi uheha.Wow!NjengoTurner (ongowokuzalwa e-Brooklyn, NY) ecula ngaphezu kwami ​​emsamo.Angikaze ngibe nokujabulela ukudlala bukhoma okunjena ekhaya ngaphambilini.
Angikayithengi irekhodi le-vinyl emashumini eminyaka, kodwa ngisafanele ngisho ukuthi umshini omdala awuzange ube muhle kangako.(Kukhona okuhlukile, vele, yingakho i-HP endala yazikhawula ku-Vintage Living Presence).
UMnu. Kasim ubonakala ethenge umshini wokunyathelisa otholakalayo futhi wakha kabusha ngangokunokwenzeka.Uthengisa amarekhodi akhe amasha e-vinyl ngama-dollar angu-30 kuya kwangu-100 lilinye.
I-Vinyl manje isiwukuzilibazisa obiza kakhulu!(I-Kotsus yami yama-1980 ayizange ifike eshibhile, ekuqaleni yayidayisa ngo-$1,000).
Ngisebenzise izindlebe zami nekhanda lami ukujabulela i-vinyl ngaphandle kokuphula i-akhawunti yami yasebhange!
