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.

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.

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.
