.....Dyna 兄介紹果條量子褲，真係神奇,見外型應該係將神力平均分佈，如果可定制，我㑹要求廠方做幾條前方力量加強版。
講到音響神力裝備，久唔久會出現。因為音響係夢幻王國，每次我邊睇白木邊聽音樂，感覺唔好聲，因為啲血會偏向一邊，…..當聽到激烈聲音，喔，喔，喔。我就更加覺得自已套機中高差一節。原來白木把聲更勝咩咩咩女聲，哈哈。

煮騙話：JB Sir，小寳物失去力量唔駛驚，等主編介紹兩件量子輻射納米磁能波神物比你。第一件，睇白木風間聽FiHi時候，著住神物，保證現場一樣，虎虎生威，鞭鞭有力。第二件，掛在喇叭，擴音機，CD機，等等器材前面，掛多D，效果更好，掛喇叭，AR18變AR9，掛擴音機，NAD變Mark仔，掛電源線，中電成個廠搬左去你樓下！

Dyna兄又提起小弟傷心事，話說十幾年前，當我獲此魔精片後立刻飛的回家試試，在車上因我又要攞雜誌同CD，我將小寳物放牛仔褲袋，但神奇反應就立刻出現，當時未算亞伯，精片令小弟雀仔有如食養陰丸後兩成效果。我回家後struggle 不如唔好攞在cD機上。所以精片一直在我褲袋。可惜有日因Laundry失去了。從此我就失去力量。

我大膽講句，一定有料到，不過我無放在CD機上面，哈！
又胡言亂語喇。食藥先。Zzzzzz

The Sony APM 22ES bought originally for £160 but it arrived slightly damaged.

I just reported to the seller that UPS mishandled the package and there are knocks on the corners of the speakers. One of the plastic guards of a tweeter was broken and all the plugs with grills are broken as well.

They are all minor issues but I thought I need to tell the seller. He was very apologetic and offered to refund me £100 and so it was £60 at the end.

He was selling 10 pairs of APM22ES and akk from his father. I wish I have bought 2 or 3 pairs.

Wawaea.. Your lovely apm22 only ukp 60.... So happy... Wor

美帝亡我之心呀！

多謝道長轉介那文章。

JA真係”too old, too simple, sometimes naive “, 叫人換位，清潔插頭？ 你當班Hi-End 大帝係乜？賓賓？印印？大膽！

其實他的批判也不是現在，過往至將來仍然，consumers market嗎？你怎麼能否定呢？

但我同意JA.

最近妹夫給我WhatsApp 佢搵到條超越 "ultimate" 線，簡直驚天地 泣鬼神，勁過佢條最頂班Kondo。

用了Atomic Bonding 喎，又係軍用技術來。

佢話空氣感，立體感超強，訊息量明顯多咗好多。

我只説廢話！新屎坑感覺肯定比一向聽開好，心理作用佔8成，真正效果可能得5％，其餘不知因素，比得你同Kondo比唔通同自己倒米？

不過我呢d窮等人家識條鐡咩！買對£60概Sony己經瓜瓜嘈，未見過大蛇屙尿！

又係嘅，即收聲。

By John Atkinson
"Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature . . . "—Michael Faraday

"When a true genius appears in the world you may know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in confederacy against him."—Jonathan Swift

I quoted Faraday and Swift in an essay I wrote in March 1991 discussing how to distinguish effective audio tweaks from those that appear to be more about delusion than about any real change in performance. Back then, it was the Tice Clock (a RadioShack digital clock that George Tice claimed to have treated with a proprietary secret process) and the Belt devices (nylon cable ties, metal clips, and other household objects that Peter Belt claimed to have treated with a proprietary secret process) that were disturbing audiophiles' collective equanimity. These past few weeks it has been the "Intelligent Chip" from accessory manufacturer Golden Sound that has audiophiles at each other's figurative throats, to witness the postings on the Audio Asylum. Rather than offer my own explanation of what the GSIC does and why, I'll quote from Golden Sound's website:

"The Intelligent Chip is a 'new generation,' high-tech device that corrects a particular problem inherent in all commercial CD/DVD/SACD discs, including movies and video games. This problem is produced by slight fluctuations in the master clock(s) when pressing the disc. This 'clock fluctuation' problem (jitter) is one reason why consumer digital discs frequently 'don't sound quite right,' or have a 'high-frequency edge.'"

Well, jitter, or time-base error, in optical discs is certainly a real phenomenon. CD transport manufacturer Plextor even offers a suite of programs that, in conjunction with its Premium CD-RW drive, allows you to measure this jitter.

"The Intelligent Chip is a thin, orange 1x1.5 inch rectangular wafer that automatically upgrades the disc in the player when the Chip is placed momentarily on top of the player above the spinning disc. The upgrade itself is virtually instantaneous—and permanent—the sound and picture of the upgraded disc more closely resembling the original master recording. The Intelligent Chip corrects the clock-fluctuation problem within 2 seconds, resulting in sound that is clearer/less distorted, with a deeper soundstage, more 'air' and lower background noise. This improvement is especially apparent on very good discs."

The GSIC10 costs $16 and is claimed to upgrade 10 discs; the GSIC30 costs $40 and upgrades 30 discs. (Let's hope that UPS doesn't carelessly put the package containing a GSIC next to a box of CDs in the brown van.)

Hmm. $1.50 per disc but I get sound that is "especially apparent with good discs." And while the mysterious field emitted by an active GSIC can "virtually instantaneously" affect the physical structure of the spinning disc through the player's metal chassis, it can be blocked by the polyethylene container that contains the GSIC when not in use. Well, in the words of the old sage, I may not know about "clock fluctuation problems," but I do know about bullshit, and the GSIC sounds like bullshit to me.

I can hear the screams from here. How can I even express an opinion about the GSIC when I haven't tried it? How can I willfully dis a product made by a company whose cones and other mechanical devices have long been denizens of Stereophile's "Recommended Components"? Does this outrageous behavior on my part mean that I have a closed mind, that I am [shudder] a closet objectivist, and that pretty soon I'll be forcing not just the magazine's writers but also its readers into endless double-blind testing rituals until, goddammit, all of you admit that everything sounds the same? Even when it doesn't?

No, I'll not be doing that. But if I was tired 14 years ago of tweaks that offended my experience, you can imagine that I am slightly more weary these days. As I wrote in 1991, I haven't so much closed my mind as put up a lightweight semantic curtain at its gate. Things of real worth can still easily push aside that curtain, which I have modestly dubbed "Atkinson's Law of Effective Tweaking." But when the price is high and the explanation is bullshit, why should I waste my precious time?

In a world where the listener's state of mind cannot be eliminated from how he perceives sound—see Jim Austin's "Industry Update" essay on this subject in the March Stereophile (p.24)—"Atkinson's Law of Effective Tweaking" examines the relationship between how much a tweak costs and how much it runs counter to accepted knowledge. (A clue is when the manufacturer claims to have discovered a hitherto unknown form of energy or phenomenon or bandies words about with scant regard to their established meanings. Like "jitter.")

The best tweaks to try are those that seem to have good explanations for how they work and cost nothing. Changing absolute phase, moving your loudspeakers around the room to find the optimum position, cleaning your contacts by unplugging and plugging cables, or determining the correct AC plug polarity, all fall into this category. They can effect an improvement in the sound of your system varying from small to large, and the only cost is your time.

If a tweak sounds unlikely but still costs very little—green ink on the edges of CDs, spiking speaker stands, for example—then why not try it? The price of admission is low enough that even if the effect is small, the sonic return on the financial investment is high. You can enjoy the improvement while reserving judgment on the reasons why.

If the price is high but the explanation offered for any sonic improvement fits in with your worldview, then try it. Your intelligence is not being insulted, and you can still decide that the improvement in sound quality is not worth the number of hours you have to work to earn the money to pay for it.

But when the tweak is both expensive and comes with a ridiculous explanation, file it away in your Pending tray until someone else you trust tries it out. Either the effect will be real and the price will fall as commercial success comes the inventor's way, or the effect will turn out to be as fictitious as the explanation. In which case you haven't wasted your time and energy.

The case of the GSIC reminded me of something similar that erstwhile audio scribe Enid Lumley demonstrated to me at a hi-fi show many years ago. Except it wasn't a magic chip costing $1.50 per use, if I recall correctly, but the plastic tripod out of a pizza box. Enid (who was a very persuasive person) placed the tripod atop a CD player and convinced her audience—including me—that the sound was better. I could never replicate the effect in my own system, but hey, the tweak was free, and that's equally important.

Of much more significance than the GSIC to the high-end audio industry is Apple's Airport Express. Wes Phillips cryptically referred to this inexpensive WiFi hub in his "As We See It" essay in the forthcoming April issue of Stereophile: "When Apple introduced its Airport Express wireless multimedia link," Wes wrote, "it even included a digital port so that an audiophile—such as Stereophile's editor—could network his system, using the AE to feed his Mark Levinson No.30.6 outboard D/A converter. 'Sounds okay,' deadpans JA."

And yes, the AE did sound "okay." I was sufficiently impressed that I wrote a review of the piece for our May issue. I won't give the game away, but I will say that, in combination with iTunes running on a Mac or PC, an Airport Express feeding that high-end D/A processor that you never could decide sounded better than your one-box CD player is the easiest way of piping CD-quality music throughout an audiophile's home.

"CD quality"? Yes, the data appearing on the AE's digital output are identical to the data in the original file. While preparing my review, I compared a WAV music file with a duplicate that I had captured on my PC from the Airport Express's S/PDIF output. I used iTunes on my PowerBook, playing a version of the file encoded with Apple Lossless Compression, to feed data to the AE. Despite the lossless encoding, despite the 128-bit encryption I use in my home network, despite the transmission of the packetized data through the air, and despite the circuit in the AE having to reencode the data as an S/PDIF stream, the files were bit-for-bit identical.

Apple's Airport Express is most definitely not bullshit. And it costs only as much as three Golden Sound "Intelligent Chips."—John Atkinson

全靠神棍，某國的膽機可標價至6位數字。。。呵~

Dyna道長

不知那文章內容如何呢？很想知道甚麼角度去看。

我以為這些”精片“會令一些low to mid-end 音響器材有如加咗turbo charger一樣，哪吒上身大顯神功，只有令”普眾”如x如醉狂入貨，只有令Hi-Fi行業大富大貴，難道我錯了嗎？

是否不進則退的道理呢？

#33803

JB兄的貼圖中#3神奇【精】片， 當年 Stereophile 的 John Atkinson 曾經寫左篇長文批評呢D HiFi 神棍破壞音響行業。 當然神棍是萬古長存！

見到JB兄焗蘿白糕，我也把雪柜內僅存的蘿白糕拿來做晚餐。

Dyna 兄講撈過大排檔可能係invest 大排檔生意，哈哈。
JB 亞伯又就嚟有蘿白糕食喇。

我都 low 過大排檔，不過唔系廚房佬。廣東式廚房出品，睇兩樣，乾炒牛河同揚州炒飯，睇下個出品賣相就知道合唔合格。屋企煮飯仔又唔同玩法，上次介紹的風間豆腐煲，個 youtuber 肯花時間煎黑豆腐兩邊，入煲就夠香。下面條片呢間茶記，拍片當時個廚房出品就合格有凸。

I do have a dream on making my own candy.. Haha, do work with one of my ex engineer for some food related food processing production line too.. Super fun Project.. 簡單一個生產線.. 打蛋機.. A lot of consideration and different approaches.. Fun..

仲喺度研究緊 一條自動劏雞 production line

Fun projects indeed
..
i do not cook at all...but i like to investigate particular kind of cooking process... haha from production point of view.....or more of a process... i do roast chicken..and sometime steak..etc.. ..such as how to dry and preapre a roast chicken..etc

Haha
