What do you like more, analog sound or digital sound? Part 2
The development of the Internet has fueled the boom by increasing the amount of information and facilitating the search for the product you are looking for.
Repairs are not as difficult as they used to be, and the variety of repair parts has made it easier to use than in the past.
It is true that vintages are difficult to obtain and maintain, but the market is well established.
At Audioland, we also focus on vintage shopping!
We have experienced repair personnel, so feel free to contact us for repairs.
On the other hand, the audio industry is experiencing a boom in high resolution.

The revolution in audio technology is the advent of CDs, but the push to push it away is “high resolution.”
Adobe has released Photoshop, an image correction and processing software, and the word “resolution” in the manual is abbreviated as “resolution.”
“Is this image sufficient for resolution?” “Low resolution” and so on.
The high resolution etymology is “high resolution printing”.
The power of high resolution is a sound source that has more than three times the amount of information as a CD and several dozen times more information than a compressed sound source such as MP3 or AAC.
It is possible to express this difference or the richness of the sound more than a CD.
By definition, if you have information specifications higher than CD, you can call yourself high resolution.
High-resolution sound sources have been around for some time, but they were not widely used because they required quite expensive equipment to reproduce them.
The widespread use of high-resolution audio is largely due to the improved infrastructure of the Internet environment.
It’s often thought that you need to buy a compatible high-resolution device to enjoy high-resolution audio sources, but you can fully enjoy it with today’s amplifiers and speakers.
There is also information that tube and high resolution amplifiers are surprisingly compatible.
At least you need to prepare a player with hard disk, network player or USB-DAC.
Of course, if it is a compatible high resolution device, it will show the maximum performance, but even if it is not, you can feel the difference between CD and high resolution.
How to hear high-resolution sound better? Aiming at the height of the clear sound …
Recently, the number of high-resolution audio devices has increased and tuning knowledge has also emerged.
It’s digital so you can let it go! It’s boring and boring! That is not the case.
It is up to the listener to save or remove the high-spec sound source.
Use an audio LAN cable
The data size of high-resolution audio sources is 3 to 7 times larger than that of CDs.
Since it contains many tiny electrical signals, the noise and vibration are more severe than ever and there is no loss.
Even if you prepare a good network player, it will be difficult to highlight the true value of high resolution if the surrounding environment such as NAS, router and personal computer is not good.
In particular, the noise suppression of cables is as important as conventional audio.
Clean the power supply
It is a fact that the waveform of the AC power supply for home use is altered.
Since routers and personal computers were not originally made as audio equipment, protection against noise is excellent.
You do not need to be qualified for electrical work to change the power supply.
Replacing the output board with audio will reduce high-frequency noise and increase the feeling of silence.
Power boxes and power cables are also available from various companies, such as Saek and Luxman.
Increase the importance of the existence of boards and insulation.
Common to audio is the vibration of the floor of the speakers. This shakes the CD players and amplifiers.
In the case of high resolution, the network player and DAC are mechanical, but the NAS has rotational vibration due to the HDD, and the personal computer also has fan noise to dissipate heat.
Put compact items like routers, NAS, and USB-DAC together on the board and use another board or insulator for large items.
Enrich the range with super tweeters and subwoofers
Super tweeter sales seem to be strong due to the hi-res boom.
It seems that the super high range above 20 kHz, which is cut off on CD, also contains harmonic components that stimulate brain waves, although it is not audible.
