Hi-Fi Do Online Newsletter December 25, 2004 I went to Junko Ochi's Live concert. The numbers performed in her concert was almost same as New album. This concert seemed different from usual one because there was strings and she wore gold gorgeous dress. It was elegant concert and Christmas song was performed at the end of concert. Junko's new CD "I want you" captures the different charm of Junko Ochi which was just released on December 21. This CD will be presented to our readers by drawing. Topics in this week 1. IPPIN Guide - Victorola Credenza 2. CD Picks of the week - Expected New Album 3. Walking around Akihabara 4. Auction in Newsletter 5. Information from Shop Manager 1. IPPIN Guide - Victorola Credenza "Credenza" is the first phonograph adopted re-entrant horn and orthophonic sound box developed by Bell laboratory(Western Electric). There are two types of Credenza, one is spring motor and another one is electric turntable motor type. Credenza is Victor's flagship model during the so-called Orthophonic era from 1925. No finer phonograph than Credenza had been produced ever afterward. The maximum length of horn was 1.8 meter. The sound generated in sound box was transmitted to cabinet and reproduced there. Sound box arm was gold plated and motor was composed of four spring motors. It includes automatic break and speed indicator. Mahogany or walnut cabinet with luxury design gave it an impressive appearance. Credenza was sold in Japan by Japan Victor and Japanese prewar audiophiles called it high-grade phonograph. by Kenji Kondo http://www.hifido.co.jp/merumaga/ippin/041217/indexe.html 2.
