Thales

About

Thales is another long term partner of AE, with more than 17 years behind us. Micha Huber is a technical genius in the domain of the analog tonearm and cartridge.  His Simplicity tonearm is famous for its 'zero tracking error' and its easy installation. Tracking ability is extremely precise from the opening groove until the very end of the last track.  The sound is extremely detailed, with a supremely open top end. There was immediate success when AE introduced Thales to Hong Kong/China many years ago. Lincoln Cheng, Chief Editor of Audio Technique, was immediately attracted to the technical mastery of Micha Huber and had himself used the Simplicity 2 tonearm (along with other reviewers at Audio Technique) as his reference tonearm before switching to Micha's Statement tonearm.  The Statement tonearm delivers highly controlled energy at the top-end particularly on recordings with tremendous high-frequency energy such as soprano, and brass/wind instruments.

Last night, I was touched by the cooperative spirit of Elliot Leung (the composer), Henry Chu (digital artist) and the whole crew of HK Philharmonic. The whole idea is creative in concept and innovative in execution. The premier performance of Metaverse Symphony No.1 blended digital arts with classical orchestration in a very coherent storytelling manner. The giant digital screen on top of the orchestra generates ever evolving digital images corresponding to the tempo (the mood) of the symphony. It is abstract to a certain degree but it offers a graphical venue for me (audiences) to walk through the symphonic mindset of Elliot. The 1st movement is theatrically exciting. The 2nd is serene and beautiful. The 3rd is retrospective and inquisitive, and the 4th is flamboyant with a favor of Gustav Mahler.

I was blessed to meet Elliot Leung at Divin Lab in Jan 2022. I am honored that Audio Exotics played a small part in this magnificent program. Our society needs new ideas in order to move on to the next stage. The success of the Metaverse Symphony Number 1 will illuminate the hope of many dream-chasers out there with new ideas.

當年情 in memory of Leslie Cheung renditioned by Grand Prix Audio’s Monaco 3.0 powered by battery. The Thales Statement Arm is navigated by Fuuga 風雅 cartridge on the groove feeding to JMF Audio PHS 7.3 phono rendered realism in uncharted territory.

Tripoint Troy NG, Subbase Vividus and Pranawire Nirvanda respectively mitigated ground noise, RF noise and AC noise, notwithstanding everything is connected to JMF Audio PCD102 AC conditioner. The Dartzeel NHB-18NS preamp and Model 2 are heavenly matched to drive the Cessaro Qianlong to maximum potential. #audioexotics #lesliecheung
