鄔博士 (CM) 是Quad ESL2812静電喇叭的用家, 曾用Einstein The Preamp膽前級及Einstein The Light in the Dark 膽溝石後級, 亦用Audio Note M8 膽前級及Jinhro 直熱單端膽後級 (20瓦), 但發覺唔夠力, 所以改用 Quad QMP 雙單聲道後級 (250瓦 x 2) , 力水足, 聲音柔潤似足膽後級, 宜家成為 Quad Amp的 Demo房,

佢其中一位楓葉國老友 L 君聽完 Demo後, 決心賣左對 JBL K2 9500喇叭及 ARC 大力膽後級, 改入Quad ESL2812静電喇叭及Quad QMP 雙單聲道後級 (留番套ARC REF 5膽前級), 大讚靚聲!!!

另一位老友N 君原先用 ATC SCM 喇叭 (不清楚exact model!!) , 由瑞士名牌 DartZeel旗艦 NHB-18NS 原子粒前級及 NHB-108 model one 原子粒後級驅動, 呢度有一位會员姚生大膽到抬部 50E雙單聲道後級去 A/B對決, 結果打成平手, 聽完 鄔博士雅居的 Demo後,大讚靚聲, 所以亦照辦煮碗入Quad ESL2812静電喇叭及Quad QMP 雙單聲道後級, 放賣灑套 DartZeel前後級

HiFi Review (2016 June)

《音樂版》 今期是360期，乃本刊三十周年號。封面故事，理應是經典的人與事，作為響應。我們選擇了福特溫格勒的傳奇：拜萊特音樂節1951年重開的「貝多芬第九」。這個著名的錄音還有甚麼是前人未講的呢？

　　有。英國LP翻制名廠ERC推出了老福/拜萊特/51年的「貝九」。我們五個主筆，在兩套不同、但都是使用mono唱頭的的音響上，比較了(連ERC版在內)六個不同的老福/拜萊特/51「貝九」LP版。劉皓淳還兼談CD版。

Four pairs of Quad ESL63s are stacked two high in brass weighted frames with one pair of stacks facing the listeners and the other pair behind them at right angles. These are driven by a pair of monster Krell class A power amplifiers and the whole lot reside behind a green curtain in a distinctly theatrical setting. The source and preamplifier are right in front of the listening position in the Japanese style, it’s easy to see why, you wouldn’t want to have to cross several yards of carpet to a system behind the curtains every time a record finished.

HiFi News and Record Review (May 2016): The Music Room





"Mr. Alastair Robertson-Aikman, chairman of the well known tonearm manufacturer SME , has never been 100% happy with the original Quad speakers . In consequence he searched for even better solutions :

First super-Quad system : Four Quad ESL-57 speakers in stacked pairs ( like the Mark Levinson HQD system ) , later on with additional Decca ribbon units
Second system : ESL-57 panels stacked as huge tower, similar like the first system, but with additional 4 treble units . The system had in total 8 bass units and 8 treble units.
Third system : the same as above but even higher with additional 4 bass units and 4 treble units on the top.
Fourth system : Four Quad ESL- 63 , angled in 90 degrees , as stacking did not work with the point-source ' 63 . The mechanical structure of the speaker was also strengthened and the grille removed "


Alastair Robertson-Aikman (1924–2006)

By Ken Kessler • Posted: Nov 3, 2006

One cliché that never loses its aptness is "end of an era." And it certainly applies to the passing on October 29 of SME’s founder, Alastair Robertson-Aikman. While there remain a handful of survivors from the original "golden age" of audio, few of them were still active in 2006. AR-A, as he was known to friends and staff, wasn’t simply still active: he was still tweaking his sound system and planning new products.


His achievements span nearly the last half-century, his seminal Model 3009 tonearm first making its appearance in 1959. It would stay in production into the 21st century, selling over a million units in its Mk.1 and Mk.2 forms, in both 9" and 12" versions. It became an industry standard, even appearing this year in the sleeve art on a European techno CD.


SME itself pre-dated the arm, AR-A’s original interests centering around model railways and model cars. The Scale Model Equipment Company Ltd. opened its doors in December 1946; sadly, AR-A just missed its 60th anniversary.

An opera lover, Alastair naturally gravitated toward audio in its early days, while his lifelong love for engineering and "work beautifully executed" led him toward a tonearm design for his personal use. In the then-more-closely-knit audio community of England in the late 1950s, word soon spread and, by 1961, the arm was on the market—an immediate hit.

Alastair never strayed far from tonearm manufacture, abandoning a brief flirtation with a digital product, while reaffirming his passion for the LP by introducing his first turntable, the Model 30, in 1991. Although he never confirmed it, one suspects, given his passion for detail, that the model number referred to the span between the commercial launch of the 3009 arm and the arrival of the first record deck.

SME, meanwhile, established itself in other fields, numbering among its clients the medical, military and automotive industries. Its obsession with quality engineering remains undimmed, and the factory was expanded into a second premises in Steyning, Sussex, last year.

In 2006, SME launched a new version of the SME 20, able to carry a 12" arm. Other products were being developed when Alastair finally succumbed to the ailments of age. He never let infirmities get in the way of hi-fi, and I will never forget seeing him a few months ago, on his knees, hunched over a cartridge he was aligning.

Even infirmities inspired him. He found it hilarious that an urban myth formed around his hip replacement; word on the street said that SME made the metal ball joint. His son, Cameron, confirmed that it was only partially a myth: when AR-A learned that he would have the operation, he found out the name of the manufacturer, called the company, and specified the grades of materials to be used.

Even toward the end of his life, Alastair never relented in his quest for perfect sound reproduction. I was among those privileged to visit him regularly, to sit with him in the SME music room, while he tolerated my low-brow tastes and suffered through the playback of some rather unusual discs. Our friendship was sealed when he asked me to find him a copy of an out-of-print Billy Cotton LP, and he was staggered by a Classic Records Miles Davis reissue. And he won't mind my revealing that he also had a soft spot for the singing of Shirley Bassey.

I only wish that more music lovers and vinyl addicts of the current generation could have met Alastair. For this listener, he set the standard, with his modified Quads, perfectly maintained Krell class-A amplifiers, Audio Research tube preamps, and—at the end—a ClearAudio Goldfinger cartridge. But more than that, I will miss a man whose intellect, clarity, generosity, dry humor and, yes, utter precision in the way he dealt with every aspect of life leaves the rest of us wanting.

Stereophile would like to extend its deepest sympathy to the Robertson-Aikman family and the loyal employees of SME.

This brand new article excerpted from Hi-Fi News and Record Review (Apr 2016) talks about the evolution of BBC Ls3/5 series model and its subsequent models like LS 5/8, covering the BBC-certified brands from KEF, Rogers, Chartwell, Harbeth and other unknown labels. Interestingly the standard of BBC studio has been rigorous and demanding in terms of quality and consistency.
