The aftersound of the last event is still around the beam. June 22, on Saturday afternoon, we decided to hold the same activity again.
The number of participants has increased, and more seats need to be arranged for one-person immersive experience.
Sound system
The built audio system, the music material on the memory, sends the digital audio signal to the decoder through the digital player, and after decoding, the analog audio signal is sent to the headphone amplifier. The headphone amplifier is amplified to push each headset to play to each listening bit. Decoder (digital to analog converter-DAC), what we use here is optimizedPCM1794Decoder; main headphone amplifier, we used two setsHEHIFIStudioSTAGE II High specification purityAHeadphone-like amplifier2024Annual upgrade version, up to available6People listen at the same time.

Repertoire
Some works have been selected in advance to enjoy together this afternoon.
A surprise.
We have a special surprise.SIMBAThe second generation also liked music and came to participate in our activities. The degree of exposure to music at a young age is a bit surprising, and several songs have been ordered, including classical music. It seems that the future is really inestimable.
Qian:
"on the afternoon of the Meiyu weekend in Shanghai, in a teahouse with a very good environment, I had the honor to participate in a music appreciation activity organized by teacher he. It was also my first time to participate in such an activity, along with experienced music enthusiasts.
There is a patter of light rain outside, the weather is a little muggy, the indoor room is another kind of scene, the temperature is suitable, the environment is elegant, on the long table, in addition to all kinds of equipment for playing music, there are all kinds of fruits and snacks, plus brewed tea, it looks very cozy and leisurely. "
2 about music
Our activity is "appreciation", so in addition to "appreciation", but also "learn from".
Different versions
We listened to two different versions of the same song, Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14, Moonlight. One is Germany.DGThe record company recorded a version of the Big Yellow, played by the famous pianist and conductor Barenboim; the other is the Netherlands PentaTone(pentatone) A version recorded by a record company, played by Japanese female pianist Eryu Mari.
Listen first.DGVersion, piano timbre is rich, loud, rich, strong sense of space, sound effect is very excellent.
Listen againPentaToneThe piano is soft, smooth and quiet, giving a profound feeling and rich emotion.
The comparison between the two, althoughDGThe version is almost extreme in acoustics and technology, but it still feelsPentaToneThe version is more touching because it is more in line with the meaning and artistic conception of the song itself. Here, once again, we may be able to answer the question of whether we want to listen to sound or music, as well as the question of the relationship between technology and art.
Different types
We listened to pop music to compare it with classical music. The feeling of listening to these two types of works is very different. In fact, the reason is that the technical techniques used in the recording stage are different, and the main reason is that the so-called microphone technology and post-processing are different. Classical music recording should not only emphasize the sound effect, but also pay attention to the space effect, to be able to reflect the respective relationship between the strength, distance, position and coordination of various instrumental music, and to have an overall sense of reality on the spot; pop music recording, then more emphasis on timbre and sound field, post-processing can be exaggerated to make changes, so that the sound can be more pleasant to listen to. Enjoy different types of music, you can cut from different angles, to better enjoy different charm. "
Xiao Bei:
"in a word, it's perfect. It sounds good, it feels flawless. "
Peggy:
"Xiao Bei, she should have listened from the perspective of a piano boy, which, I think, gave her one, too.benchmarkingCome on, what is the perfect presentation? "
Qian:
"for this event, Mr. he made full preparations from the preparation of equipment, the selection of music and the arrangement of content, making the whole activity more organized. This event is mainly based on the appreciation of classical music, such as Beethoven's 14th Piano Sonata Moonlight, the first movement Tchaikovsky.1812Prelude to Wang Kui's Haixia Suite in childhood, weaving a web, harvest Shepherd's Song, Old John. on the CLARiiON serverStrauss's "Radsky March", "Rachmaninov", "Piano Concerto No. 2" and so on, because different people have different kinds of music, and their ability to understand or appreciate music is also different, so it is difficult to achieve unity. I have listened to very little classical music before. I feel that it is elegant music, and I have never calmed down to listen to it carefully, because this activity specializes in listening to music, and the audio equipment is something I have never been in touch with before. coupled with the teacher's introduction to the background of music creation and comments on different music scenes, it changed my original mind. "
3 about the sound
First principle
Elon Musk often talks about "first principles" and often uses it to solve problems encountered in several of his magical companies.
Baidu encyclopedia:
"first principles (the FirstPrinciple Thinking), which refers to certain rigid rules or conclusions derived from them. It can also be understood as deducing from scratch according to some of the most basic theories of physics, and then forming a complete physical system. "
Audio users (or enthusiasts) strive for the ultimate sound quality and sound effects, and the industry is full of countless experiences, secrets, and even metaphysics to "guide" people to achieve their desired goals. Many people follow these "successful experiences" and really go astray and spend a lot of money, but the ideal of enjoying music has not been realized.
He:
"I advocate believing in science, not all kinds of things that have no objective basis. Look at the problems in sound according to the first principle. Start with the basics and try all kinds of things. Be careful when there are no distractions, as long as you go the right way, the desired goal and effect will be achieved naturally. It is suggested that the vast number of audio users and enthusiasts might as well try to use the first principle to look at the sound problem, perhaps less detours. "
Headphones can truly reproduce the scene space.
We played a segment of artificial head recording. From the headphones, we can hear the sounds of front, back, left, right, front, left, back, right, high, bottom and other positions and different distances, miraculously reproducing the recording scene, as if in person, incomparably real.
To achieve such an effect, not only the whole recording process must be correct and high quality, but also the entire playback (audio) system must be correct and high quality (especially for the processing of weak signals), any link has problems, even minor problems, because the spatial position of the sound is very sensitive to the signal, it can easily destroy this effect.
Peggy:
"the one that impressed me most was the artificial head recording, and the effect shocked me. When the male voice appeared, I turned my head and looked at it and said, 'believe it and be there.'Yes, I'm scared! "
Diamond:
"it coincides with the opportunity for promotion, mine.Stage IIDo you want to upgrade the ear amplifier? There is an ideological struggle! Iterate between unupgraded and upgraded versionsabI auditioned, and gradually I got the answer.
The hearing of the ear has inertia, and it takes a great corrective force to reverse the habit for a long time. The audition provided a valuable opportunity.
Boss he did not preach only through verbal persuasion, but provided a number of scenic repertoire, giving me the opportunity to keep on.abSeamless comparison, with the actual effect to slowly desensitize me. Admittedly, the transcranial stimulation brought by the treble gain is like the spicy effect of Sichuan cuisine, but after allhifiWhat is required is the true restoration of the sound in order to obtain the true emotion of the work. When the audition repertoire gradually increased, it was gradually found that after the new product further distinguished the delicacy of the strings, the ears gradually discovered more original delicacy of the music under the influence of a single spicy taste, and completely gave up the sense of dependence on high-gain treble after a cello repertoire.,Decided to upgrade the equipment. "
4 I can't hear it all, and the activities should continue.
We mainly listen to classical music (romanticism at present). One afternoon, I raced against the clock to listen to our pre-prepared repertoire, but there were still too many songs worth listening to and enjoying.
Teacher Qian showed a piece of music and liked it very much. Different from classical music and pop music, this music belongs to the new century.NewAge(music. If we continue this topic, then we will open another huge door and there will be more music to listen to and enjoy.
Peggy:
"listening to music requires quiet and concentration. This time the venue is not as quiet as we did for the first time. There was some noise outside, which affected the auditory effect.
It is suggested that in future activities, everyone should first understand the repertoire, listen to it with the existing equipment, and then listen to it with our professional equipment, so as to be familiar with it in advance and have more contrast on the other. "
Qian:
"listening to music in such an environment, listening to teacher he's comments and interpretations of different music, each expressing his feelings or experiences after listening to each piece of music, the whole afternoon passed quickly, and the good time was always short, and the activity ended after six o 'clock. everyone is still not done.
Before, I listened to music mainly to listen to music, the time is also fragmented, or on the road, or by car, is basically a person to listen to, never spent time to calm down to listen to music. I think there should be a lot of people like me, and many people should like this kind of activities. this is another way to listen to music, a platform for listening to music, which can calm people down, plus there are music-loving buddies together. Coupled with the comments of enthusiasts and teachers, while calming down, we can also get a lot of knowledge that we did not understand before.
I hope that this kind of activity can be persisted and can be done for a long time. I have some ideas:1. There are a group of participants who have the same hobby and like music.2. Each activity is aimed at different preferences of different people, and there are also different themes. The type of repertoire for each appreciation can be1~2Notice in advance, and participants can also do some homework in advance.3. There are some simple training on music and equipment at the event."
Diamaond:
"I very much hope that this kind of activities can continue and be objectively evaluated. abComparison is always one of the original pleasures of enthusiasts. I hope to get more in the next activity.hifiOriginal fun. "
