About Dalby Akasu Elemento

The Akasu Elemento (AE) project was initiated by Lee Paul Dalby from United Kingdom 5 years ago without any commercial considerations and third-party funding support. I was intrigued from the outset of this unique daring conception and closely followed its design and engineering progress ever since. It’s a freak of nature. A one of a kind. I proclaim it as the “Analog Turntable of the Century”. The goal is neither to claim it is the most expensive turntable in the world (there is not a price tag attached to it) nor whatever “the best” means. Indeed, the Akasu wasn’t made for resale. They will only ever be three: one for Lee, one for Chris of AE, and one for spare. The ordeal is to exemplify an attitude and a standard of extreme artisanal craftsmanship, to ascertain it a legend. The objective of the design is to resurrect the soul of artists through recorded music on vinyl without sonic coloration by the materials the turntable built upon. (Beware minimization of mechanical vibrations does not warrant the elimination of sonic signature of material from a lump of copper and aluminum). The engineering required to prove Lee’s philosophical goal is a gigantic undertaking never ever attempted by anyone hitherto. Lee counts on AE to unleash the full potential of it at Divin Lab. Dalby Audio Design and Audio Exotics shall make history.

Contemplation

Its value emerges only from a betterment perspective of a holistic system assuming successful integration without fingerprint regardless of price.

Comprehension of marginal change when a new element enters a system is merely descriptive. Insight comes from corresponding adjustments required in other parts of the system to accommodate the new element.

More references necessitate the judgement process. This is a function of listening maturity, music/technical knowledge and luck. You define the value of it, neither price nor media. Only the right mentality nurtures wisdom to become a wise pathfinder.

My value judgment is based on energy, space and scale. The silence between notes defines the space for energy formation. Without energy, space cannot be formed. Without space, scale cannot be projected. When scale is established, you are co-sharing the space with the artist in the same venue.

That defines presence. Musicality follows naturally.

I was holding the “Knightsbridge” （騎士橋）ground cable* by Dalby when Anthony Lau, National Geographic Travel Photographer Grand Prize Award winner 2016, shot this photo.

He is my designated photographer for my forthcoming book to be released tentatively in 2026.

The connection of it to Tripoint Troy NG in my system allows me to comprehend the spacing between notes in any “staccato” passage of any musical instrument tremendously.

In music, staccato notes are typically played at half the written duration, with a distinct separation between them, which is around 200 milliseconds (0.2 seconds). This creates a short, detached, and percussive effect.

We are talking extremely high speed here. It is the performer who controls the pacing of it, which in turn radiates their emotions. If clarity of spacings are not clear, the intention of the performers will be distorted by noises.
