Would you like to listen to records with good sound quality?

Why don't you listen to the record with good sound quality?


Record Disk.


The record heat has been reviving for a few years.
Sony and Dennon are selling new record players and releasing records. 。
So, I think that many people think that I will listen to the record again?
The Instagram of young people is popular, but I will buy this record Jake!



I think there are people who listen to music on CD, but now there are many people who import CD sound sources into PCs, smartphones, portable audio players, etc. Currently, over 80% of music listeners are listening to music downloads or streaming on the internet using WiFi. There are some teenagers who do not even know the CD as well as the record, and there is a real story like a lie that I was moved to listen to music without WiFi connection to know the existence of the CD for the first time.

On the other hand, the existence of records that take a lot of time, like rituals, to listen to music. SNS such as Instagram, listening to music while watching big jackets and lyrics cards, compared to listening to music in streaming, I think that the effort, the mind of "listen," and the amount of listening to the set-up work, the satisfaction is high, the charm of it is recognized again.

Also, although the number of records in the new record is known, you can easily get various records from used items from a few hundred yen and cheap things to rare things that are traded at a high price on a specialty store and the Internet, listening to old music recorded decades ago on the records of the time, full color of the 50's and 60's The jacket is also a charm not present

When comparing the sound quality with the CD, the record can record the sound of all the frequency bands of the original sound source picked up by the microphone in theory. On the other hand, CDs were groundbreaking media that eliminated disadvantages such as record noise and rotation unevenness. On the other hand, the playback frequency characteristics of CDs are recorded only from 20 Hz to 20 kHz in the audible range of humans, and on CDs, when converting original sound sources to digital, the sound source data is converted to a single disc, which causes a lack of information. When viewed in the sound waveform, it is a jagged curve, but the record is said that the waveform of this sound is a smooth waveform without jagging, there is no missing information, the analog sound of the record is better than the CD.
In addition, CDs are not able to listen to sounds other than the playback frequency band in the first place, so the record decays gently, so even if you can not listen to it, there is no unnatural as five senses, and the record is excellent in the very natural hearing.
Also, because the dynamic range is completely different between the CD and the record in the same sound source, the mastering is often done separately, and the CD is mastered so that smooth and natural sound can be heard in a record that is easily distorted by large volume, to a sound with a sharp digital profile It may also be said that there are many.

The high-resolution sound source, which has penetrated completely, captures a wide frequency band, and with an enormous amount of music information, you can see how the record is superior considering that it is a technology that tries to bring the jagged digital waveform closer to a smooth analog waveform without limitation.
Although the high sound above the standard 20kHz is cut, the high-resolution sound source is recorded more than 40kHz, and the sampling rate (how much voice data is smooth per second) is more than double the 96kHz of the CD from the 44.1kHz of the CD. By using Kolera, the sound is smoother and more natural than CDs, and the details are carefully reproduced in detail, so it is quite close to the record
When replacing the above with a photograph, the grains of the film (record) to express the image are very fine and excellent in granularity, very smooth, the resolution (granular) of the early digital camera and the copying (CD) is very low, the picture is poor, the current digital camera (hyrezo) The resolution is very high It is the same as a very beautiful photo that is almost unchanged from a film photo.

The phoneequolizer amplifier for making sound from the peripheral accessories and record players including the record player's cartridge (record needle), which also uses records so that the finish of the photos depends on the camera, lens, and lighting used, and now the finish of the photos depends greatly on the application of the smartphone It is also the real pleasure of analog music that you can enjoy various sounds by combining.



Record Cartridge.


Records drop the needle in the groove of the record board and pick up the sound recorded in the groove, but there are a wide variety of record cartridges, from cheap items that can be easily obtained in the record cartridge (record needle) that picks up the sound, to expensive things that the eye gaps out.

There are two types of cartridges: MM and MC. MM type is officially called Moving Magnet method, MC type is Moving Coil method. The difference between the two is the power generation method used by the record needle to read. The needle tip captures the mechanical vibration engraved on the record. The difference in how the magnet is perceived is the MM type that the magnet moves and the MC type that the coil moves and captures. In addition, the sound changes considerably for each product.
The cartridge for the introductory class is MM type. Since the output is high, if there is a fono input on the amplifier, you can enjoy watching the record by connecting the record terminal as it is. On the other hand, MC type is more responsive than MM type and the sound is more colorful with wide range, but it is a complex structure that coils inside a small cartridge, the output is weak and there are many cartridges of class of one rank including usage method such as using a boost transformer.

Headshell


There is a head shell on the part supporting the cartridge. This head shell also has materials and types such as wood, metal, carbon, and various features. It is an important part that is difficult to insult because it comes mainly related to sound and vibration. It is a recommended part because you can get it relatively inexpensive compared to the cartridge and enjoy the look.

Lead wire


The lead wire serves to transmit the voice signal from the cartridge through the head shell. There are many different types of wire materials, from precious metals such as silver and gold to wire materials made decades ago, and lead wires tailored to your favorite music genres.

You can enjoy watching records by using cartridges, headshells, and lead lines for each music genre you listen to. I think that it is a way of enjoying things that are not in digital sound sources.
Records can face music more slowly than digital sound sources as much as it takes time to produce sound, and do not you have the power to enrich the hearts of listeners?
