Once upon a time in the West

I am in Zurich for my work. Visiting the cd shop is my favourite past time before dinner. During the visit, I came across a cd, once upon a time in the West and i was attracted by its cover, which has a nostalgic feel. Upon checking, it then realize that the movie was before my time from the 1960s.
I quickly bought a sandwich and went back to my hotel to listen to the cd and I was immediately attracted by the music.....

Tannoy mini authographe

I have owned the Tannoy Catebury. However, owing to the constant moving of apartment, I have to settle for a small speakers for easy transportation. From the net, information, The Tannoy Autograph Mini is nothing but a top-notch audiophile loudspeaker, constructed in a rather small version, for better accommodation in multiple places around the room, with zero efforts and max results.
In addition, despite it modest dimensions, the Tannoy Autograph Mini is capable of deploying a stunningly big sound, with far better imaging and transparency than most loudspeakers in the same range and class: it packs the same careful handcrafted and assembled cabinet with most serious internal damping and strutting ensuring almost perfect inertness for better dealing with resonance and vibrations, thus offering a non-colored acoustic response.
The technical details from the net: The core of the Tannoy Autograph Mini is a Dual Concentric 4” driver, a recognized symbol of acoustic performance and sonic reproduction elite. The DC driver is actually a combo, formed by two distinct transducers, coaxially loaded and offering unbelievable capabilities as a point source-dispersion unit. The coaxial loading allows for a sonic reproduction with an extreme natural sound, never leaking the brightness and the brittle of real, day by day life.
While the LF cone is made from multi-fiber paper pulp and sports a rubber surround for extended excursion and ultimately, a deep, tight bass, the HF unit runs on a titanium dome loaded in a Tannoy proprietary Tulip Waveguide. Such a driver complement ensures a frequency range from 68Hz to 54kHz, suitable for high-def formats like the SACD or DVD-Audio as well.
Hand-wired crossovers and 99.99% Van den Hul internal wiring ensure minimal signal loss and a greater transparency for your audio media. The Tannoy Autograph Mini can deliver as much as 50W RMS in 8 Ohms and with 88dB.
This is my second set of mini. I have sold the first set to a friend with deep regret and luckily, I have managed to get one set back again...

Vintage 軍艦speaker cables

I was in Berlin last week and was on the internet at night and i found that there is an audiophile (back in Hong Kong) selling speakers cables made from old British Navy battleship communication cables. The audiophile Mr. Chen has managed to find some nice communication cables from the retired British Navy ship and as an audiophile, he has converted these communication cables to speakers cables.
Recently, my hifi fever has began to warm up. I quickly contacted the seller when I am back in Hong Kong and to satisfy my curiosity, I have bought these vintage speakers cables made from cables of the old Navy vessel for home to try (plus he promised a full return if i am unsatisfied). The cables Have 4 layers of protection using cotton, linen, as well as a layer of oil to protect it from the salty sea water.. Just tested the cables.




After playing the cables for several hours, the cables are slowing burned in (using special cables burn in cd) and I can hear more clarity and details ..Enjoy

吉祥三寶： 布仁巴雅尓

這是幾年前買的CD。一首名叫《吉祥三寶》的蒙語歌曲，歌曲中那個小女孩清脆天真的嗓音，讓人過耳難忘。據悉，在北京等城市，這首簡單悅耳、描寫三口之家融融親情的歌曲已經多次在各種排行榜上名列前茅。這首歌曲的詞曲作者是中國國際廣播電台蒙語節目主持人布仁巴雅爾，布仁巴雅爾和妻子烏日娜、七歲的侄女英格瑪共同演唱了這首描寫美滿家庭的歌曲，歌曲在沉寂了11年之後，終於用真情打開了人們的心扉。


《吉祥三寶》獻給愛女
布仁巴雅爾是中國國際廣播電台的記者、翻譯和蒙語主持，他生於呼倫貝爾，長於草原深處，並在北京工作二十載。《吉祥三寶》是布仁巴雅爾寫給他當時3歲女兒諾爾曼的作品，是其首張專輯《天邊》中的主打歌。布仁介紹說：「《吉祥三寶》是我從與女兒的對話中提煉出來的歌曲，她很好奇，甚麼都會問，我回答不出來時，就回答她『吉祥三寶』。」如今的諾爾曼已經成長為一個青春少女了。


據悉，這首歌是布仁特地從內蒙古草原找來當時7歲的侄女英格瑪錄制的，英格瑪是第一次進錄音棚，第一次見到麥克風，帶著那股興奮而純真的孩童之情，她把《吉祥三寶》唱得格外悅耳動聽。我本身，最喜歡天邊這一首歌。

任賢齊

This is the best cd for Ritchie as it has many of my favourite sings.

任賢齊原本決定如果《心太軟》專輯銷售成績不理想，將離開藝人身分，投考體育新聞記者，因為這張專輯是唱片公司給他的最後機會，若是銷售紀錄還是毫無表現將會與他解除合約關係，不料《心太軟》專輯在亞洲創下了號稱200萬張的銷售佳績,其中主打歌心太軟更紅遍中國大陸大街小巷，並在亞洲地區獲得多個獎項，此後這首歌在華人圈無人不知曉. 但是，直到1998年因《愛像太平洋》專輯在台灣暢銷熱賣，才使得他能從大陸地區紅回台灣.




對面的女孩看過來 :翻唱自馬來西亞歌手陳慶祥同名作品，收錄於《城市‧藍天》。
不要變
傷心太平洋
我是一隻魚
心情車站
風暴
愛很瘋
愛我愛我
別哭
安靜的人
任逍遙
很受傷
心太軟

機遇：蔡琴

　蔡琴在本專輯裡說著：「.....希望有一天自己也有作品，就像別人曾給過我的享受那樣--想靜下心來的時候就去聽它，聽它就會靜下心來的音樂.....。」

　顯然的，蔡琴的目的達到了，如果您可以靜靜地坐下來好好的享受音樂，「機遇／蔡琴」，絕對是國語CD之中的上品之作。這是我個人最喜歡的CD
