1.IPPIN Guide "B & W Signature 800"

B&W( Bowers & Wilkins) is the leading audio firm and it always makes a
appropriate suggestion requested by the audiophiles everywhere .

in the world.
It is famous for the first model of cabinet-less tube speaker by radical concept and

3.Walking around Akihabara by Taro Akiba

I had a phone call from my friend and he told me to take cable of speakers.
I asked ,"What type of cable?" He said, "It is 8N."
I didn't know what was 8N and asked him again, "What is 8N?"
He explained, " 8N means the fineness of copper is 99.999999% and
normally it is 4N of 99.99%. I don't know the difference exactly."
I said, "Anyway, hurry up and try it."
I arranged speaker selector to compare two cables. He visited around one o'clock.
We set the cable and tried to listen to Jazz. I could not understand the difference
and asked him, "Both sounds like almost same to me." He said, "Vocal will show the
difference."
I tried to play Japanese male vocal.

http://www.hifido.co.jp/merumaga/tarou/040917/indexe.html

We were immediately amazed to listen to it and saw each other.
After a while I said, "It almost sounds that he sings a song at three meter behind
this time."
He said, " You finally noticed the difference. Do you want this cable? It is expensive."
I said, "No, thank you."
I understood that the quality of audio performance should not depend on the price .
I tried to use various cables and I thought the best one was 0.8-1mm single cable.
I found that the soft cable could produce soft sound and hard cable could produce
clear sound regardless of single-wiring or bowering. I recommend you to try the
different type of cable.
