FRIPSIDE Yaginuma experienced the amazing AK "A & Ultima SP2000T"."Throw one stone in the evolution of DAP"

Music professional checks the sound of SP2000T

So how do music professionals evaluate such SP2000T?

I had FRIPSIDE's Soshi Yaginuma listen and had an impression of sound quality.

Yaginuma formed FripSide in 2002.After working on many games, in 2009, he welcomed voice actor Aino Nanjo as a vocal, and released the anime "A Certain Scientific Super Electric Gan (Railgun)" first term opening theme "only my Railgun".She has been active in anime, games, and in many ways that do not stay.

Mr. Yaginuma said that he loved music as much as he was in kindergarten to check the FM radio with metal tape.He still loves cassette tape sounds and finds a good used deck.In addition, his father was an audio enthusiast, and he has touched high quality sounds since childhood, and he has a deep knowledge of audio equipment and gadgets.He seems to have disassembled Luxman's amplifier and get angry from his father, and is hardcore.

Due to the influence of the mother of the piano instructor, the first year of junior high school students started the piano and sequencer.When I was a high school student, I bought the equipment for DTM with the money saved by the part -time job, connected the MIDI of many hardware, started playing the songs that I composed myself, and started recording with MTR (multi -track recorder).I was angry when I dropped my parents' breaker (laughs) (Mr. Yaginuma).

そんな八木沼氏なので、当然ポータブルオーディオプレーヤーも愛用。普段からAKのプレーヤーをレコーディングなどの仕事や、プライベートにも活用しており、それが縁で、2019年には、八木沼氏が監修したコラボハイレゾプレーヤー「A&futura SE100 fripSide Edition」も誕生した。

この「A&futura SE100 fripSide Edition」は、fripSideをイメージしたデザインになっているだけでなく、fripSideの楽曲「crying moon」を、全てハイレゾで改めて制作し直したものをプリインストール。さらに、PCゲームに提供してきた楽曲を一枚にまとめたアルバムも、全曲ハイレゾリマスターでプリインストールするなど、非常に豪華な一品。199,980円(直販価格)と高価にも関わらず、限定500台が1カ月で完売した。

Regarding the collaboration model, Mr. Yaginuma said, "I am really honored and still use a collaboration player. It is a treasure for me. The pre -installed song is" I want you to listen to this sound with this player! "From 1, I remember talking with the team members to make a beautiful sound in high resolution. "

In the collaboration model SE100, Mr. Yaginuma, who listened to the pre -installed song, was impressed by the sound quality, but said, "There were some parts that felt a bit too beautiful.""Conversely, there was a part that I thought it would have been a little dirty. I noticed that if it was too beautiful, there would be a" lost part "in our music. In that sense, good.It was an approach. "

A beautiful sound is paraphrased as a so -called “honor student sound” that pursues clearness and dynamic.On the other hand, there is also a better "warm sound" than the specifications.This is exactly the relationship between the SP2000T operational amplifier and the vacuum tube amplifier.

そこでSP2000Tを聴いた印象を聞いてみると、「僕、このプレーヤー大好きです。今までのAstell&Kernの中で、一番このモデルがヒットです」と大きくうなずく八木沼氏。

"The triple amplifier system can be selected from the operational amplifier, the vacuum tube, and the intermediate hybrid, but the exquisite spoon of the hybrid mode is the best. You can choose from 5 levels of mixing the operational amplifier and the vacuum tube, but I am just."I like the setting of the" good cotton "of the operational amplifier and the vacuum tube amplifier."

"The mode of only vacuum tubes is good, but depending on the song, it is very addictive, but depending on the song, there are times when you want to change it to another mode. However, if you have the" middle "setting in the hybrid mode, what kind of song.But it's okay, so I think this setting is always fine. "

Mr. Yaginuma actually enjoyed various music in hybrid mode.I especially recommend the song with a deep performance of live performances. Of course, it matches warm songs like jazz and classical orchestras. Especially when listening to a country, it's really good.I want you to experience this. "

And many readers want to enjoy FripSide songs with SP2000T.The SP2000T has a high basic ability as a player, so you can enjoy any songs, but Mr. Yaginuma is particularly "recommended".Best of FripSide -moving Ballads-. I would like you to listen to this with SP2000T. "

Yaginuma also says, "It goes well with the remastered board.""I guess there are many old songs that become high -resolution and high -resolution. However, listening to such a remastered board is not much different from the CD board, as the delicious part of the music has disappeared.There is a "disappointing remastered board" that is really a high -resolution. It's best to listen to it in vacuum tube mode. I was really surprised. "

So what if you listen to FripSide's songs in vacuum tube mode?"When I listened in hybrid mode, the sharpness and beats became moderately sweet, and it was very pleasant. Even with music like us, if it sounds like this, this is a new discovery that this is fine.There was. Until now, we emphasized specifications and just thrown a stone in the flow of a portable player that has evolved as "high -resolution, high -resolution" anyway ... I think it is a player who notices new fun "(Yaginuma.Mr).
