Lautsprecherbau - Mission DAD 5 mit DAC 5 aufgerüstet, CD-/SACD-Player & andere digitale Quellen. Hallo Kölsche, schön mal wieder die Mission Kombi DAD5 mit DAC 5 zu sehen.
Ich habe sie auch jahrelang betrieben, bis mir der Laser vom DAD 5 kaputt ging. Ich habe damals das Gerät weggeworfen, was ich heute bereue. Den DAC5 habe ich noch heute und bin nach wie vor begeistert.Wie Du auch schon hörtest, ist es schwierig zu entscheiden, ob der DAC5 besser ist, oder einfach nur etwas lauter, als der DAD5. Ich hatte damals das Gefühl, daß der Klang auch etwas klarer bzw. durchsichtiger war als mit dem DAD5, der im Vergleich dazu etwas verwaschener und weicher klang. Auf ebay wurde der DAD5 in einer getunten Version einmal angeboten und der Anbieter mochte den Klang des DAD5 ohne die DAC5 Unterstützung lieber, weil er analoger und wärmer klang, vor allem nach dem Klangtuning.
Did someone say... Technics SB F1??? The Vintage Knob - Online vintage audio museum, forum and image bank. Technics SL-10 on thevintageknob.org. Slightly severe in looks but highly desirable !
The SL-10 was designed by Yosumi Toshikazu from an R&D project initiated by Obata Shuichi and was at first planned with a lacquered black finish. After an inital prototype with such a finish, practical reasons led to a the semi-matte natural aluminium. The SL-7 and SL-15 variants were also designed Mr Toshikazu. Unlike many of the early 1980s "square" TTs, the SL-10 was no gadget and is an excellent sounding turntable : Stereo Sound Best Product in early 1980, Stereo Sound State of the Art in late 1980, and a japanese Good Design award, too.
Better yet : the SL-10 was delivered with a Technics EPC-310MC cartridge and there's a built-in moving-coil preamp ! Technics worked on its first tangential turntable as early as 1966 with the 100P (images are at hand - stay tuned !) Technics SB-F1 on TVK. High-end audio in small sizes - a dream, isn't it ?
Not really high-end but, in 1978, really advanced bookshelf -literally this time- loudspeaker design. High power handling, diecast alumium enclosures, rubber coating damping, aluminium voice coils, polyamide adhesives, polyester insulation, aluminium film caps, high rigidity woofers, anti-resonant center cap, 10,000 Gauss magnetic flux, linear phase driver placement, linear phase, copper-clad aluminium voice coil 2 or 3-piece horn tweeters, polyurethane free edge woofers - and good looks, too.
Technics in Japan made a very special version named HAN-T1 : one of the woofers had its meshed metal protection replaced by a transparent plastic showing a battery powered quartz clock. You have to see it to believe it ! Better yet, every hour, a sound is emitted through the fully functional tweeter - how cheesy can you get ? I really wonder how these would compare today next to present offerings competing in "small size - big sound".
Technics C-01 Series on TVK. 1979 was a good year to physically bring to life the most famous slogan of the 1970s : "Small is BIG".
Sony did it first with the original Precise system (early/mid 1978), then with the two Falcon systems (late '78) ; Technics did its own with the C-01 components, Aurex/Toshiba with the (excellent) "15" system, alongside Aiwa's "22" system which would be rebadged by many manufacturers until 1983/84. If we are now used to see minisystems and even -literally- microscopic ones, in 1979 all this was new, quite fascinating and still built like full-fledged components: fair componentry, good mechanics and even high-end features like Pulse power supplies or elaborate MC stages. Needless to say, mini and micro systems would never be built like this again until some (Sony, Teac, Harman/Kardon or Luxman/Alpine) did attempt to make good-sound-in-a-shoebox when the audio market itself was beginning to show definitive signs of weakness in the early 1990s.
