This week I introduce the Georgian 4, which is the leading item of Akihabara Store. I think you the customers know much better about the details of this item, so I place the unreleased photos and report on my trial listening. First of all, its appearance has a touch of an old tree and gives a magnificent impression like a vintage instrument. Though the price is 2,500,000JPY, I would like to recommend this by all means to those who live in a big house, because this endures for your life. I listened to music this time in a system with a control amp Onlife u-22 and a power amp McIntosh MC240. The sound was fairly thick, and the system well matched with string instruments and horn sound. |

In my trial listening, I omitted classic music and 1950's jazz because I thought they well match with this audio system, needless to try. So, I selected and listened to the following CDs just in my personal preference. Perhaps these are not so useful for your reference, so just look through them as my monologue. Latin and salsa (by Eddie Palmieri): This audio system well matched with the horn sound of the trombone and trumpet, but the cowbell sounded a little bit noisy. Soul (by EW & F): The chorus, hi-hat cymbals and snare drums sounded good. (by James Brown/"In the Jungle Groove"): The music sounded rather weak and this audio system failed to reproduce the original sticky sound of this music. (by Donny Hathaway/Live): The hall-tone sounded excellent as if I were in the Hall. Reggae ("Sunsets"): This also sounded a little bit weak. Rock (by Queen/"Bohemian Rhapsody"): The chorus sounded excellent and also the piano arpeggio sounded clear. (by Allman Brothers Band/"Live at the Fillmore East"): The twin drums sounded overwhelming. Duan's sliding on the guitar sounded free but simultaneously wild. Metallic (by Judas Priest): The audio system matched with this music better than expected. The voice of Rob Halford sounded attractive. Techno (by YMO and Chemical Brothers): Mismatch. The end. |
