I believe Adele “Someone like you” has reached Mars and shown aliens about our romance. “If you ever have a broken heart, you are about to remember it now. ” I wish god bless her for a simple balanced life and always remember what’s inside.

Last time I felt such a feeling was Sinead O’Connor “Nothing Compares 2 U”. That was on cassette and then the CD. Years 1990, produced and engineered by Chris Birkett. Sinead O’ Connor used an AKG414-ULS, which was also the first microphone I learnt to use. “Sinead did it in one take, double-tracked it straight away and it was perfect because she was totally into the song. It mirrored her situation.” During recording this song, Sinead puts a piece of white A4 paper on the console saying “NO FUCKING COMPRESSORS”, guess I followed her since then.

Speaker on “Nothing Compares 2U”, I always like Prince and Rosie Gaines live version……Actually the song was originally written by Prince. I especially remember the feedback, it embedded on this music, like every sound recorded on an album, become a history of time.

我們香港的音樂發生了甚麼狀況? 大概知名的音樂人已經忘記音樂的本質。不知名的音樂人只可以忙著為生計煩惱。當一個錄音直入比起”細心調校”的CD還要好聲，那做乜Q要有錄音工程?!

我，也許要做多一點, and I wish you too.

I’m sure it’s by now apparent why the Aurender S10 has been chosen as the digital source for TWBAS 2012. WideaLab has approached the S10’s design from seemingly every angle, and the result is an all-out assault on the music-server category. This amazing product far exceeds in performance what I’ve experienced with other music servers. WideaLab is dedicated to making compromises unnecessary, and that makes it a perfect fit for TWBAS 2012.

Thank you Minoru Kinjo 金城稔, Teruhisa Onda 御田照久, AZ Audio and Yutaka Masaki for meeting with us.
.
共同通訊社 has 2 audio magazines: AudioBasic and PC Audio Fan.
.
They love the DAC202U (USB) which has completely isolated USB Async interface at the front end and output patch to our in famous Firewire chipset. They mentioned this is above the best USB DACs sound quality. DAC202U combines both convenience USB connection and Firewire quality. MAN301 has received the highest recommendation from Audiobasic and PC Audio Fans. We look forward to send them first batch of review samples in March for further testings.
