Bakoon Products CAP-1002MK2 - The new dimension brought by the fourth generation of Hibiki
Bakoon ProductsThe phono equalizer "CAP-1002" has finally evolved into the "CAP-1002MK2." The biggest evolution this time is that the HIBIKI circuit developed by the company has made its leap from the first generation to the fourth generation at once.
Redesigned due to difficulties in obtaining
The semiconductors that were used up until now became difficult to obtain, and the circuits were forced to be reviewed. In the process, we introduced the latest 4th generation of Hibiki, and achieved results that were more than we could have imagined. The sensitivity has been improved and the sound accuracy has been further improved. Furthermore, the input impedance is reduced to less than half of the previous model, making it extremely effective, especially for MC cartridges used for current inputs. The purity of the signal has been further improved, and music is now reproduced more directly.
Impression of the sound
When you listen to music, the vocals and instruments are first made clearer, and the impurities have been reduced, making it seem like the aftertaste naturally grows. The highs are more vivid, while the lows are more powerful. It combines clearness and power, giving the impression that the energy of the music is conveyed more directly.
Upgrade service
What's great for existing users is that you can upgrade the CAP-1002 to the MK2 specification. It can be handled by replacing the board, and the cost is expected to be 50,000 yen. While maintaining the appearance, the interior has been revamped to the latest generation, allowing you to get new sounds while making the most of the organic content. If you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
The CAP-1002MK2 was born after an unexpected situation. However, the results were not merely alternative designs, but rather as a major evolution. With the installation of the fourth generation of Hibiki, it has become the next standard for phono equalizers. It is definitely one of the most interesting devices for those who want to further improve analog playback.
