1. Cappuccino's Jazz Live Concert Report
Last week I went to Mitch's jazz live concert in Royal Horse,
a famous jazz club, in Osaka.
Mitch is a young trumpet jazz player who showing activity
in New Orleans, US.
His playing is Dixieland jazz, which is very rhythmical and light
New Orleans sounds. A club was filled with his powerful high tone and
strong middle-low tone.
I loved his fantastic performance and his beautiful singing voice.
It seemed to be just in New Orleans.
His performance looked as if he was playing with a trumpet.
It was a pity that I could not listen to his live performance in the
second act.
I'm sure that it would be great as well as the first act.
If you want to release your stress, please go to Royal Horse now!!
This week I have received a request to disassemble the SONY digital
audio tape deck DCT-1000ES from Kenji Kondo.
Here is his comment.
"This was the first reference DAT of SONY which was installed a 4dd
(Direct Drive) motor and a rotary head.
They said that it was achieved 10 times highest record precision than
the original PCM processor because of using metallic tapes.
As a result, CD players became popular in those days.
What I want to see by disassembling is ;
(1) the cassette tray
(2) the rotary head
(3) the place which the tape winds around the rotary drum
(4) the sophisticated wiring by IC tip
(5) the synchronal-terminal
I expect who show his or her ability for disassembling this deck."
I, Satake, disassemble. I hope that I will be able to show you as your
request.

Ohsu Store
Hello, it is Asai of Ohsu Store. May's season is already like early
summer ,whether to be cheerful.
Although there is also a fine day, if it is working,
it will become sweated and will no longer be heard in the sound of
heavy touch etc. It is the part 2 of a system purification plan this
time. The sound of a system will become pure if it changes into this.
It is introduction of such a cable.
Hello, my name is Tsutsumi of the newcomer of a Hi-fi do Nipponbashi
store. I have changed my employment in the industry of the audio after
it was yearning from before. I (an amateur about audio) am allowed to
introduce about SANSUI B-2102 MOS_VINTAGE this time .
Bon jour! James. Feeling is Ichikawa as Champs-Elysees street.
Now, if you call it a French song, what image do you have?
As for it, I of the Niigata prefecture graduate have a joke very
image. However, I think that there is also the very sexy whole
surface on the other hand.
It entitles of the part 4of series is "mission impossible"
(or the chanson doll of which it dreams also surely likes an
eroticism ?!) this time !
