Food for Thought

[Σπύρος Μπλάτσιος]

Ένα καταπληκτικό site που εξηγεί με απλά λόγια το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της ηλεκτροακουστικής. Προτείνετε για μελέτη κυρίως σε αυτούς που ξεκινάνε την ενασχόληση με το hobby του ήχου, αλλά και σε όλους όσους θέλουν να ξαναθυμηθούν κάποια πράγματα στα γρήγορα.

Και δύο φοβερές ατάκες από το ίδιο site...

Marketing. The success of computer technology resulted from modern marketing procedures, which allowed expensively created products to be available at affordable prices. High-end sound equipment is trapped by past, high profit marketing regimes similar to the fashion industry. Small passive systems are the standard, supported by compliant non-critical reviews, often claiming that expensive gimmickry transforms sound quality, and has its following (audiophiles').

Audiophiles' became one of the most bizarre cults of the previous century. Claiming to be gifted with golden ears, audiophiles can hear electrons traveling in wires, and have the ability to channel thought into crystals to ward off evil harmonics. Cloaking themselves in mystical terms unrelated to music and physics, they can be heard chanting model numbers and superlatives. This delusional mix of paranoia and marketing hype, where descriptions attain to greater meaning than the described, exists in all areas of society.

Δεν ξέρω πόσο θα κόστιζαν τα μεταφορικά για αυτά τα θηρία από Αυστραλία πάντως και εμένα με έχει εντυπωσιάσει η κατασκευή.

Προσοχή...
Τα "κουτάκια" δίπλα από τα ηχεία περιέχει τους ενισχυτές και τα ενεργά crossover . Κάθε τέτοιο κουτάκι κρύβει 5 ενισχυτές, έναν για κάθε μεγάφωνο!!!

• The Audiophile Opal has valve amplifiers in independent cabinets
  alongside each speaker cabinet. Each side has 5 five 100 Watt valve
  ultra-linear amplifiers using KT88s

• Each speaker is powered by its own independent amplifier

• An electronic crossover divides the frequency spectrum into 4 sections
• The electronic crossover is in each valve amplifier cabinet for the Audiophile Opal
• The electronic crossover is in the solid state amp pack of the professional Opal
• 4 Way active Linkwitz Riley 4th order time aligned

• The electronic crossover controls are easily accessible for calibration
• Re-calibration for the acoustic environment is for the enjoyment of performance
• This re-calibration is personal, and simple to perform, and most of all, enjoyable

Χθες το βράδυ έστειλα ένα e-mail στον Αυστραλό και ανοίγωντας σήμερα το mailbox μου βρήκα την απάντηση. Διαβάστε ένα τμήμα της που μιλά για την φιλοσοφία της εταιρίας!!!

Hello Spyros

Thank you for you appreciation of the designs and the education information on the Lenard site.

Product designs
Lenard audio is a very small group of design and innovation engineers in which anyone can participate. The designs are presently purchased by individual customers by commissioning then to be made. However the original aim was for the product designs to be produced by larger companies throughout the world, but this has not yet happened. An alternative approach is to make available the completed electronics including chassis and cabinets as a pre-fabricated package similar to Ikea, which can also be prepared in Europe. Most important is to gather further business connections and ideas from anyone who believes in the opportunities to expand the high performance audio market.

Have a look at a development cinema system that is presently installed at an art-house cinema in Sydney. The sound system is 2/3 the size of the screen. It was initially set up in front of the screen to complete the final alignment before being placed behind the screen. The aim is for this design to be available to the world and we are also hoping to hear from any European interest.
