[#2763] QUAD ESL Speakers    
Thanks, Hon,

What a nice offer and surely I would appreciate it. I think I have a pair of jones plug to RCA as well as a pair of separate QUAD II power cables hiding elsewhere in the store room. I'll find out and try other pre-amp.

I recall the poor sonic result when connecting the QUAD II to Audio Research SP3, Marantz M7 and even Matiise Reference 2 years ago. It seems to me most modern pre-amp don't match with the QUAD oldies. Tim and Gingers gave me a good advice to use Fisher 400CX-2, but we all knew that it's rare and hard to find nowadays.

Regarding passive pre-amp, let me consult CP for a matching one.

Happy New Year.

Dear Limage and Miss Lee fans friends,

I knew you are keen on Miss Lee same as me. Want to read more about her?

I quote some forum writing from vinylparadise.com's members for your sharing


摘錄舊文, 聊資談興!

..........山口淑子(李香蘭)是正式跟隨意大利女高音瑪達姆"波多列索夫那學習聲樂,她擅演能唱,曾在中、日、好萊塢、百老匯歌舞劇場聲名大噪,歌藝造詣極深,傾倒萬千歌迷...........

.......一位日本朋友桐島亮先生, 建立了一個李香蘭網頁, 每周都會 on-line 送上兩首李香蘭演唱的珍貴錄音, 過去他曾分別送上 「白鳥韶」,「心曲」,「陽春小唱」,「花ソゆソグメギホろ知ペ」,「Яrイシソスゆ女」 ...........下面可以 on-line 听到李香蘭女士以純粹花腔女高音模式, 用俄語演唱 1938年的一出電影 "私ソ鶯" 的同名主題曲!

http://www11.ocn.ne.jp/~jhlh/leehsianglan/top.htm

有一位 "川島" 朋友, 建立了一個私人新聞台, 取名 "山口淑子 李香蘭", 資料詳盡, 圖文並茂, 更新迅速, 值得所有影迷和樂迷關注! : )

http://mypaper.pchome.com.tw/news/knoski/

他在去年底的一篇 "李香蘭的「私ソ鶯」", 曾分析了此曲, 並繙繹了中日文曲詞呢!

...........電影裡李香蘭一共唱了三首歌曲分別是「私ソ鶯」「нюЁцソ鳥」與「新ウわ夜」。全部都是用俄文來演唱。至於被剪掉的影片裡還有沒有歌曲演唱,不得而知。但是又很特別的是,在灌錄成唱片,卻是用日文來演唱。「нюЁцソ鳥」似乎沒有灌錄成日文唱片。「私ソ鶯」這首主題曲,李香蘭在電影裡前後兩次用不同的方式來詮釋,這是很標準的俄羅斯民族風味的歌曲。第一次,由小提琴緩緩拉開序幕,接著交響樂團奏出活潑奔放的音樂。李香蘭本身學的是俄式宮廷聲樂唱法,演唱俄式風味的俄文歌曲,對她來說駕輕就熟。在歌曲結尾的部分,運用她擅長的花腔女高音,來做ending,果然具有震撼的效果,聽完之後,不由自主的鼓掌叫好............

http://mypaper.pchome.com.tw/news/knoski/3/1234582986/20031202143030/


感謝這位 "川島" 朋友, 看了他撰寫的這篇 "李香蘭的「Londonderry之歌」", 這才知道李香蘭女士曾經錄制過 "Danny Boy" 呢!

........這一首『①⑦Э⑦Ыэみソ歌』是愛爾蘭民謠,就是一位在外的遊子思念故鄉,所寫的歌詞。李香蘭在表達這首歌時,以樸實的西歐聲樂唱法,唱出一陣陣的淒涼、無助、感傷。彷彿走進一種死寂的邊際。透過最後一絲絲的氣息,傳達這份無力感。又希望能藉由宗教的力量,給予無上的心靈安慰.........

Dear Hon,

When you met Mr Limage on Monday, remember to ask him to play you my all time female vocal favourite, 李香蘭's 三年. Emjoy.

I played the another QUAD 22 on loan from my brother along with my own QUAD 22 today and I'd found no difference at all they made.

It appears that my QUAD system is sounding more alive from today after I tucked away my bloody indoor wireless phone (it was placed one inche away from my Linto and Lingo and five inches) from the turntable stand. My family opened the window all day and I think the humid weather also played a part ruining my system in the past week.

You are true, the QUAD II/22 system tends to sound a bit 暗 than other amp even after some of my treatment. I can live with it now and will look for a perfect matching pre-amp for my QUAD II in next move.

[#2768] Adding tweeter to Quad ESL-57    
Copied from Dr.Quad:
http://www.geocities.com/drquad@pacbell.net/

" During the weekend I added a pair of inexpensive silk dome tweeters to my main set of Quads. While mounting the components on top of the 57's was ultimately disappointing (dispersion pattern too dissimilar from the treble panels & sound quality not quite up to the job), positioning the units face up about 16" behind the speakers for increased off axis radiation turned out well enough to make the set-up a keeper. Thanx DLJ. "

Diaphragm testing of the Quad ESL63 declare successful. After 15-20 times of install/dismantle of the panels, the ESL63 finally sings like an ESL should be. Sound quality is crystal clear. Midrange is smooth. Bass is not boomy but it goes a little lower than the ESL57. I will mount the mylar with the rest of the penals in an unified fashion.

There are some photo to share. No. 1, prepare for the mylar mounting.

3 holes on each penal. You can see how clear the mylar is after graphite applied. You can almost see thru it.

The back of the test speaker. I am now in the process of cleaning and restore the frame and the dust cover for Feikeung' ESL63. Once it's done, I will proceed to do Allen's ESL63. It will be proceed with a much faster pace because the experience I learn from Feikeung's speaker.

Oh, how I wish to acquire a pair of ESL63s, only if Pat would agree to help me restore them ! My boss has been complaining of my monstrous Tannoys for quite some time.

[#2779] Limage's Magnepan    
Yesterday, it was a pleasure visiting Limage's place with John K to listen to a Magnepan system. I was most impressed by the sound from the Magnepan 3.5 ribbon speakers. It is my first time listening to Magnepan, other than a brief audition of a pair of 1.6 in my friend's house last week.

The image from the 3.5 is perfect to a sense that the positioning of each instrument, the singer and the background noise can be distinguished accurately. Limage explained about the imaging of a stereo system which I haven't had much experience before. I could clearly hear the soundstage of a studio recording which is completely different from a hall recording. I had to close my eyes most of the time because of the physical presence of the two big panels being quite close to the chair, my brain was telling me that the sound was emitting from the widely separated speakers, but my ears were telling me that the sound is from someone else in the room.

The midrange is simply superb, smooth and refined. There is zero harshness in treble, I can say that the treble is one of the most refined that I have ever listened. The bass is tight and fast, overhang is minimal.

The control of the speakers from the 20 year old Conrad Johnson 6550 valve power amp is excellent. The Conrad Johnson proves that high power valve amps can have a detailed and refined sound, not just raw power.

I was truly astonished by the superb sound. I can genuinely say that for soundstage, sweetness, imaging and refinement, it is hard to beat this system. I certainly have learnt a lot from Limage, I hope that I will try a pair of Magnepan in the future.

Thanks again for the home cooked dinner as well. My belly is suffering from eating out too much in HK during Chinese new year, a home cooked meal is always welcome!

Hon

Morning CP,

It's nice to have you back here. Everything settled, smooth and sound? You know, your boy has quickly become the focus of envy among buddies of this thread!

Yes, consistency is the thing that I've been working at, quite exhaustively in fact, for the past 10 years. I cannot say that I am fully successful, but my system does behave more predictably now than ever before.
