It’s the day of the rabbit!

 

From Hideo Kato-san



It's the day of the rabbit! Five is also the key to the matter.

We are approaching a time to ask for a new kind of unity from us. It's a deep dive into the heart. The feeling of audio♪

That is the mechanism of the senses. If we don't use that, how can audio progress?

Surely, those in the right place are diligently researching and exploring. They may have already achieved considerable results. If so, it should be presented in a way that is understandable to users and hobbyists.

If we are not hoping for results that will lead to a new system that will completely overturn the current stereo system, we should promote research in areas that connect audio keys. 

As before, if we only hear the results of basic research and externalize them, it will not be accepted on a global scale.

If we continue with audio on one side, only audio as a product will remain, and audio hobbies and audio culture will also decline.

What is needed in audio now is an independent atmosphere that evokes a spirit of learning. The audio hobby, confined to its core, and the audio industry, which relies on conventional materials, cannot attract young people with a sense of style. New audio systems will not be completed in the router era.

Pursuing audio as a technology, the digital audio interface, and simplifying the signal path are key.

*. For half a century in the audio world, various improvements have been made to each element of the desired reproduction: pickups, amplifiers, and speakers, in order to reproduce music to the gods. Of these, amplifiers...

There was a technique that somehow (?) existed in which the delicate construction of the earpiece was the main focus, and many amateur enthusiasts who enjoyed the mental work of thinking about circuits that could produce that small amount of increased power from a transistor participated in this trend, and for a long time it was said that radio technology was at the forefront of circuit research. Mirror theory techniques are also widely used as a quick fix for distortion removal and immediate sound quality improvement. Power amplifiers, of course, also utilize this.


In push-pull circuits, the drivers, including phase conversion, are a highlight; the more you continue, the more complex the circuit becomes, but the more you suspect it's not. The taste: transistors and CR components are becoming increasingly common.


Even with the same circuit, the resulting sound differs.

On the other hand, changing the resistor (R) in this component can cause distortion, and even worse, changing the proof used for recording, changing the solder, or exploring the conditions for flat soldering.


Even changing the terminals can cause the connection to close, which became a topic of discussion.


Regarding that question, there are various explanations, and Mr. Kinman's interpretation, but for those with some knowledge of electrical theory, it's honestly difficult to accept, and some serious engineers are resistant to it. However, when implemented...
