The current idea is to convey ‘feelings’ and ‘sensations’.
Of course, this includes praising the speakers, cables and items we sell, but we also think it’s okay to express “just a feeling” or “something you don’t understand”.
This is because I believe that what I “know” is only my own feeling, and that there are things that can only be “known” by other people’s feeling. It is a great treasure to learn for the first time about the opinions of others about what you have told them.
By ‘partner’ I mean a bookshelf speaker. These are the speakers I’ve been using, so when they’re gone, I can’t hide my sadness at not seeing them there. Not being able to listen to music is also a big part of it.
There are numerous cable accessories. For speakers, at least speaker cables, interconnect cables, power cables, etc. For earphones, earphone cables, etc. etc.
The material of the cable can also be copper wire, silver-plated wire, silver wire, etc. To this is added the construction of the cable, so there is a variety of twisted pairs, cotton and hollow tubes inside the cable, etc. I like variety.
This time it’s not about the details, it’s about how some cables can change the sound completely, for better or worse. The timing of encountering them is different for everyone, and there are people who encounter them immediately, those who don’t, and those who haven’t yet (some say they don’t change at all).
Cables that change the sound seem to have nothing to do with price. When you meet one, you are surprised, aren’t you? In my case, the low-priced Beginning cable from ALBEDO, which is now discontinued, is a cable that excels in the high frequencies. The low frequencies were controlled and the high frequencies became more delicate and supple. However, it’s interesting that I don’t “know” whether other people will feel the same drastic change when they listen to the same cable. For others, it may seem like a small change. If you come across a cable that makes a sudden change, you will suffer from the cable swamp “wire disease” (laughs).
Incidentally, when I first heard ALBEDO’s Monolith-monocrystal interconnect cable, I was surprised at how much the detail, thickness and spatial expression of the sound expanded, and I asked other people to listen and they were equally surprised. It was more like a big level up than a sudden change. So it was a different sensation of change.
When changing from supplied or cheap cables for the first time, Kimber Kable’s cables may be a change for you. I like this manufacturer (I’m recommending them even though they are another company. I want to go freely if there is no problem there).
We want everyone to listen to a variety of cables and feel the joy of cables. It’s fun to fine-tune the sound to your own taste, or to enjoy a completely different tone depending on the cable, so I’d like you to start your ‘cable journey’ freely without being bound by ideas or theories. Welcome to the cable swamp (laughs).
Hello. Generally speaking, the best sound is said to be original sound reproduction, but there are a variety of speakers with different tones.
I believe that there is no absolute reproduction of the original sound, and that the final sound should be what each individual is aiming for. This is because I feel that the original sound differs from person to person. Even if you listen to the same equipment, you may have different impressions depending on who you listen to.
It is not that original sound reproduction is bad, but rather that the original sound reproduction aimed at by each individual is different.
Therefore, I think it will be fun if you try various ideas, cables, items, etc. from a broad perspective without denying your individual favourite manufacturers, equipment and preoccupations.
