It is so hard

From the design stage, there are right things we can do, physically , we do know after 10 to 15 trial and error on a arm tube material , hardening method etc..., we shall yield a very good transient tonearm without sounding hard/harsh etc..

But we also know...we will lose money, unless someone committed a higher volume or a better unit ex factory cost.., that not going to happen too

Tonearm is the easiest

We also know that we can make decent output transformer etc ., however who pays that cost , even we have modest mark up ? Transformer is also an easier item to do


We also look at manufacturing process for making those audiophile foil capacitor, we just have no idea how many trial until we get the sound people love, and without the need of using 搭棚打手 etc, same applied of making MC cartridge

Our team and me seriously lack of that Voicing Skills from parts select.., oh..it sound lack of Air , even the engineers etc..oh..i feel it too , and after 15th trial, I now understand ...but what to change ? We have guess...kind of know but each iteration cost too

we may start by a low fi open source approach ...

We have to be very careful and fair to our funding support haha


所以我真係覺得做出好聲嘅and有特色hi-fi產品嗰啲， super impressed，真係要買得貴如果唔係first兩款產品都會蝕本執笠

確實好似做一隻 Wilson audio acoustic diode ，亦都做到個設計出來真係有物理上的效果，但係嗰種似事而非嘅效果，和我們做開哪種容易判斷實業的背景，確實有點困難

Haha

Voicing is hard

有一個開玩笑亦都係真嘅結論，缺乏浪漫太理性好難開始這種生意

我畀嗰啲audiophile grade network switch to engineer 作為參考,除咗o嘴都唔知點樣反應 , that was a fun brainstorming session , lots of laugh

十年八年前做咗個靜音彈射無人機發射系統，這一兩年都有實際應用，呢啲我哋就識做

Haha 兄，小弟認為只因為你及你嘅團隊都係務實嘅研發專業隊伍，如果純以設計生產音響器材，我相信應該唔會難到你哋，如果話以 HiFi segment 為 target 嘅話，就正如你話，現今係要夾理行銷推廣策略為主打，百貨應百客，做到 unique advance feature/technology 都要 sell 中班 target segment 嘅 desire 先能脱穎而出。

Thus I believe audio product is not hard for you team, but the HiFi business may be the others' concern.

Just my stupid thought. :)

我哋整個團隊創作咗千幾二千樣有意義嘅產品上天下海入火場救人唔同嘅生產線機器遙控設備等等等等

我哋嘅結論係。。。audio so hard , super difficult,團隊的性格可能不適合做這些產品

竟然又有一棵梨樹

又有一棵蘋果樹，上一年度只見到兩棵蘋果樹，今年五棵總共have apple， and total 2棵梨樹

上年這兩棵樹都冇果實的

Beaide that I still have a. Open PO for a few hundred piece of turntable at a cost for a Europe hi end distributor I know for 20 yrs , if I can deliver something I believe it is better at that price point, on going for a few yrs , but so far all those are only different but not better , also some reliable testing fixture etc...haha less subjective etc

Have to have a rigid and truth story ... Haha

One must consider marketing risk , even it is not my cost , as a team we could not live with it at all

I paid for my engineers some decent audio system at their home , hope one day they have more sense about this audiophile application

Haha

今日下晝係房仔攪攪震，揾新野聽兼試聲，小弟只係憑封面就揀咗呢隻 album 聽，PAULINE KLAUS - OBSESSIONS。。。！哈！

聽落音質同音樂演奏都好唔錯吓！:)

Chi

No feel bad at all, not feel blunt etc at all haha

Always far from humble if I really hit a edge of the bull head haha

I would say and fair to say I fail those positive wish about those experiments I conducted , however I hardly got things the opposite too

More to think and even more to try

I do have some positive outcome for adding mass to those sme and some other cheap tonearms

Fact is , is fun to try





my next project

Apart from fixing a few reel to reel deck , which not consider a project
For toys
I wish to build a tube preamp ,not from kit , and learning a few things now

Dyna San,

When used with original Fuji lenses and with adapters which allow electronic contacts for AF and Data( like Canon EF, Contax 645 AF) with most manual lenses with no electronic contacts 100S and in fact all GFX cameras, my ex 50S, will display the F value@ F1.0

Haha 兄， that's too humble of you.

You are the guy I know the most eager to learn and trial right the way whilst also very knowledgeable enough to determine the theories and execution.

Agree 通常俾野砸住效果都係麻麻哋。 地方許可的話唔好機疊機.

我試過phono amp 分體電源機疊機（以為供電唔關事）， 效果差到你唔信.

自己冇科學基礎下, 器材在Hi-Fi架上落墊，架打平水之後，落地落釘。

我試過呢個gel pad. 原本用作打鼓Damping. 效果等同eva 墊 8 成。

RE [#4572]

Chi哥，

望下望下架 Chinook，就知係流嘅 replica，因為機身太光滑同冇乜鉚釘！

點解 GFX100S display 嘅光圈係 f/1 ，原因應該係哈哈蘇 lens ！



注意音量！

“ Test and Trial “ the foundation of science so nothing is 膚淺。

Haha, yourself being an engineer you should give yourself credit, don’t be mean and too humble.

You always have ideas, theories and most of them you practice with your learnt knowledge.

And it is not fair to undermine the education system you received.

Sorry for my blunt words.

What’s your next project?

我好膚淺嘅，鍾意搵啲嘢墊高佢加多幾層覺得好有型好睇，咁就開心咗喇

我的起始目的，通常都係因為我有啲物料喺手，放喺度冇用就等於浪費，咁就搵啲嘢搞下

最緊要冇反效果

記憶中我做咁多呢啲嘢有正面明顯嘅效果經驗很少，反效果的經驗也很少


但係放一啲嘢喺器材頂，嘅反效果經驗就試過幾次，即係放咗一啲重嘢落去搞到聲音即時明顯死死實實的那一種經驗

Haha 兄，對有啲人黎講 may be 無聊，但其實搞搞呢啲自作小玩意做吓實驗，我無得好好玩，兼有實際得着，why not?! ;D 不過我喺 HiFi 玩得呢啲小玩意小實驗，我都一定會貫徹實驗精神，認真比較前後效果，睇吓會唔會手術成功，但病人宣布失敗。。。哈！最重要係要 evaluate what factors are critical for the success/failure for further improvement.

Bearing 珠承 HiFi 器材 is really effective! 有睇我 post 都知我所有器材都用 bearing 設計墊材承起，except 喇叭。喇叭墊材我始終只會 recommend 用釘，因為相信物理上，釘尖接觸點承托暫時應該係最有效 minimize 缷去喇叭單元震動能量嘅方法，儘量保存喇叭單元震動能量以播出原音訊號應有震幅，當然唔同物料會有唔同頻率 resonance 輕微回震嘅 effect，故有唔同物料及設計釘腳會有唔同效果。

any how，最終用乜嘢承托方法同物料，對 HiFi 友黎講，都只不過是 tune 聲方法之一。

橡膠墊底面有縱橫坑紋， 咁樣先做到避震效果。我亦都借呢啲坑紋作為散熱。

Eva墊就冇啦。試過剪細細塊放四角，效果唔及一整塊你想。 要取捨。

喇叭架，Hi-Fi架 就毫無懸念，腳釘直插落地。
