Riviera Audio Labs

About

The profundity of the “Italian School of Super High End” is far-reaching, of which the Riviera marque qualifies as a cornerstone. Riviera’s Luca asserts: The human brain autocorrects “distortions generated by the cochlea inside our ear,” beginning at 90db SPL. This is the same for all humans regardless of age and gender. (This is not to be confused with hearing ability, which differs from one to another.)   The human brain can eliminate these distortions ONLY IF it recognizes the “distortion distribution”. The shape of this is said to follow a gentle downward slope (where the X axis is the frequency range and Y axis is distortion measured in db). Our brain does not recognize any other pattern of distortion distribution even if distortions are zero.  This is why electronics made by Luca, aim at replicating the shape of the distortion distribution that our brain ordinarily corrects for us. AE founder, Chris Leung, has a full suite of Riviera Lab's flagship electronics in his home. The sound projected by Riviera Labs is wonderfully open and transparent.  Within this, the subjective elements of majesty and magnificence are conferred from the expression of musicians radiating their talents. Such design is a re-definition of true transparency, allowing the listener to come into a wider spectrum of emotional connection to the music.

I have no words to describe my feelings of this analog treasure.  What comes to mind is a poem. 

Silence is a space, a sacred place.  For in this space, I can see the beauty of life, pure and free. 

The language of silence knows no bounds. Its meaning is felt, its presence profound. 

For in silence, there is a way, to connect with our innermost soul. 

Chris Leung 

My deepest salute to Lee Dalby for his ingenuity to the service of musicality.

無言感激

我選擇了日本藝術家 ”早川克己”(Katsumi Hayakawa)的作品給予Aaron為今年的生日禮物。早川是畫「光」的能手,這幅名為《Signal 》的作品,設計概念原自他的香港演唱會其中一個造型。從他的欣悦反應,我估計早川的創作已觸動了他的藝術感知。

我也帶了兩本Capital雜誌,給他作為留念。如果沒有遇上他,AE的發展將會變得平淡。他為《御品》題字的一幅書法,一直掛在發跡的上環展示室內,以作策勉之用。他對我的啟發與鼓勵,成為了強大的精神支柱,增強了信心不停突破,走上一條新的路線,所以我一直心存無限感激。

昨天Aaron對我說:”Chris,今次這個封面,是你的一個里程碑,大家繼續互相勉勵。”

當我要求他在雜誌內的專題報道上簽個名時,我萬想不到,佢先拿了支筆給我,請我在他那本上,簽我的名字作為留念。

這一刻的感動,並非文字可以表達到。

The beautiful Jete record weight by Dalby Audio Design. It illuminates musicality naturally from any vinyl atop analog turntable.  Decaying harmonic tails are resolute, attacks are agile, textures are colourful, pacing is rhythmic, energy is radiant and presence is graceful.
