Audio sistemi - zanimivosti

Vidim, da imate nekateri preveè "zabetonirano" predstavo o Tehnics-u! Pa saj ne mislite, da bodo spet izdelovali kasetofone, V.B.O. ojaèevalnike ali pa CD playerje z MASH DAC-i.
Brez skrbi, pri Panasonicu so še kako v koraku z èasom in prvi produkti iz pepela vstalega Technicsa to dokazujejo. Sicer pa nikoli nisem bil ljubitelj te znamke zaradi osladnega dizajna njihovih naprav, ki so bile za nameèek še temno rjave barve. Novi izdelki izgledajo mnogo lepše.
In ker je govora o obuditvi nekoè zelo razširjene znamke: zelo si želim, da se v bližnji prihodnosti vrne tudi AKAI...

Pa ne, saj nima nihce averzije do te znamke. Pojavlja se le malo skepse glede takojsnega uspeha.
Po drugi strani pa je nad Technicsom Panasonic, nad obema pa krovna Matsushita. To je gigant, ki ima pod palcem vec, kot drzava Slovenija. Ta trio si vecjega flopa ne bo privoscil.

Sem pozabil, da je pod isto marelo tudi industrijski orjak Comback, katerega eden od direktorjev za hobi vodi se firmo Reymio in Harmonix.
Znanja in resursov je ze v startu dovolj v lastni hisi. Kaksnih vecjih denarcev si itak najbrz ne obetajo in gre bolj za hobi in prestiz.

Japonci se vraèajo na hi-fi sceno, kar je dobro, saj je scena že prav bolana...
V glavnem garaĹľne firme, ki delujejo par let, naredijo nekaj kosov iz polnega aluminija, in Ĺľe so oklicani za hi-end, cene pa naĹľgane v nebo...

Prej ali slej, bodo na trgu tudi cenejši in dostopnejši Japonski modeli, ki bodo dobro mešali štrene vsem garažnim firmam.

Tudi v športu je tako, da že po krajši pavzi rabiš nekaj èasa, da prideš nazaj v top formo, tako bo tudi Technics & Co.

Techincs ....moj drugi sistemèek leta 2000 sem si ga kupil z privarèevanimi štipendijami....mislim, da je bil okrog 150.000 SIT takrat...še danes je v uporabi pri znancu...



se opravièujem malo za off topic...

Bivši Nuforce zdaj Nuprime ne poèiva. Najnovejši hi-tech IDA-8:







Tole vse za tam okoli jurèka:

Following in a long tradition of audio excellence, the NuPrime IDA-8 combines the substance and warmth of an Ultra-Linear Class A Module (ULCAM) in the preamp stage with the extraordinary speed of NuPrime’s proprietary Class-D power for a spacious, transparent, dynamic and luxuriously textured soundstage. The IDA-8’s exemplary distortion numbers (THD+N=0.005% and SNR=-130dB) account for the unit’s peerless clarity. With the inclusion of a DAC that decodes USB PCM 384 and DSD256 in addition to a 100Wx2@8Ohm (180Wx2@4 Ohm) power amp in a 8.5” wide chassis, the NuPrime IDA-8 is truly a technological milestone

The IDA-8’s low noise floor is further complimented by an innovative volume control based on a thin-film resistor design that positions a single resistor in the signal path for each volume setting. Volume changes occur in 99 precise 0.5dB increments for each input’s individually adjustable volume level. Precise level matching is a breeze, as is the user’s ability to make comparisons of music sources.

By utilizing discrete components in NuPrime’s ULCAM circuit, the signal can be fine tuned to reduce noise and provide maximum power.

The NuPrime amp circuit improves on traditional class-D design by using a self-oscillating circuit to generate pulse-width modulation. The amplifier switches at a frequency of 600kHz, well beyond the compact disc’s 44.1kHz sampling rate. Most class-D amps switch at 300kHz or lower. In addition, NuPrime’s SRC IC chip provides FPGA processing for ultra-low jitter and distortion rates. Completing the ensemble is NuPrime's new linear power supply with its high-efficiency toroidal transformer for reduced high-frequency noise and strengthened low-frequency performance. The damping effect of the NuPrime isolation feet (patent pending) absorbs and cancels vibrations that degrade audio performance. The overall result is unprecedented transient speed and an almost shocking level of dynamic impact.

The IDA-8 achieves Total Harmonic Distortion + Noise (THD+N) levels of less than 0.005% while achieving a system efficiency of up to 93%. The IDA-8's frequency response to 50 kHz elevates vocals into emotional experiences; similarly, instrumental upper registers mimic a live performance’s shimmering heights .

The IDA-8's features and specifications have few equals. Just one audition will convince you that the IDA-8’s performance and sophisticated styling are rarely duplicated at any price point.
