In the sound system, it has been used as the main source of high-fidelity information – analog vinyl records, due to the rise of digital information source – CD records in the 1980s, so far this traditional analog information source has almost disappeared. Only a small number of die-hard LP diehards are still addicted to vinyl and will never abandon it. However, in the current situation, most record production companies have abandoned vinyl and switched to digital records, which has frustrated vinyl advocates and made new HI-FI people only know CDS, but do not know what vinyl is.
Today, after more than 20 years, the warm and natural tone of LP has gradually been loved by more music fans, and the vinyl beautiful sound has been basically recognized. I remember that I once praised LP in the 1990s, when many friends thought it was incredible. Today, especially in the Pearl River Delta region of Guangdong Province, the heat wave of vinyl has become more and more intense, and some people in the circle have completely abandoned CDS and are devoted to playing vinyl. The author thinks that Yan thin ring fat each has its own good, sell blindly alone, too extreme. CD, LP sharing, Qi people’s happiness also.
As the heat of vinyl is gradually making a comeback, European and American manufacturers have launched various grades of vinyl turntables. Not to be outdone by software companies, reprints and new recordings of vinyl have mushroomed. For example, ABC (International) Records, a record company known for its diverse and high-quality production, has recently released more than ten vinyl albums of various types of music, so it is vivid at home and abroad. The author, who has been in love with vinyl since the 1970s, uses his own ALTECAG sound distribution system, uses MICRO “MEko” DDX – 1500 turntable +VDHMETWO phono + “Berlin Sound” 838 phono amplifier 4 analog signal source, and uses ABC’s expense to produce limited edition vinyl with “direct engraving record”. Quiet background, loose, natural tone, once again deeply feel the charming charm of vinyl.
Quiet as deep as the sea of noise ratio, smooth, full and delicate music lines, prompting the author who likes to find out the roots to get to the bottom of it.
If every piece of vinyl must sound good, the answer is no. Vinyl will also be miserable to listen to, regardless of the performance, recording, mixing of several key, the final film, disc press links, but also directly affect the sound quality and noise.
The key to the superior sound quality of the vinyl albums published by ABC is the master-processing and vinyl project supervision in the United States with the new Burwen Bahoat technology that can improve PCM digital music, and the highest fidelity in Germany, through Mark Lerinson, Mark Levison, the most outstanding sound engineer today. The process is the most difficult, and the production cost is expensive for DMM metal direct engraving technology. Since there is only one best straight-cut master disc, the number of pressed records is limited, and the master disc is out of print once scrapped, ABC’s 500 numbered front page vinyl is even more precious and collectible.
Referring to the “straight cut record” veteran music fans will think of the United States SHEFFLELDLAB “trumpet flower”, the United Kingdom DECCA “Decca” and the German TELEFVKEN combination of TELDEC company, if you have these brands of vinyl, not be treasure is strange.
The legendary NAT King Cole was one of ABC’s first vinyl stars. NAT was born with a “swan” voice, in which the sound is thick and dense, listening charming, singing feelings rich, full of passion, its records have been very popular, sales are amazing. Listening to its CD has been around the beam for three days, and now listening to ABC’s vinyl, even more amazing. The icing on the cake is his mesmerizing voice. Between the ears that dense like a curtain of water like the accompaniment of the violin, or I like a stone like the piano, or the spring breeze rain harp like the arch of the moon surrounded the golden swan song. Whether it’s “Falling in love” or “Nightingales singing in Berkeley Square”; Whether it is “Mona Lisa” or “Stardust”, it will never be “unforgettable”.
Having listened to many versions of NAT King Cole, this ABC vinyl version is the best —- transparent, uplifting, careful, a sense of space naturally through the diamond needle, which can be described as a real reproduction of a legendary golden voice that makes the world fascinated.
The above is just a case in point, this batch of new ABC vinyl has unlimited beauty: Yu Lina’s violin “Butterfly Lovers” and Yin Chengzong’s piano “Yellow River”/” Beautiful Teresa Teng “/ Guokutian Disc” Saint Tang “/” 30 Years of Vacuum Tube Recording “/ Yin Chengzong’s works” Flower Moon Night “/” Extreme Stereo No. 1 – Red Sleeve “, “Extreme Stereo No. 2 – Solemn”. Follow immediately available: Li Chuan-yun, “Qin Soul”/Shirley “Shirley? Hong”…… .
Each ABC vinyl front-page record has the characteristic of consistent angular and distinct colors. There is also a CD with the same track in the exquisite package, which is convenient for music fans to compare. When the author compares the gift CD with the NAT King Cole CD released by ABC last year, it is found that the gift CD is much better than the one with clarity, delicacy and wide and smooth vocals. Is by Mark Levison did “hands and feet” or there is another mystery, this to consult the boss Xu know also. Talk to you next time.
