Updated: Apr 6, 2024

I have been wanting to write about my views on audio for a long time.

Having said that, the content is so diverse that it is difficult to summarize my thoughts and writing style.

So, I decided to start by lining up the themes I wanted to write about.


First of all, let me say that I don't necessarily write them in this order or according to their contents. My thoughts may change while I'm writing, or what I want to say may change.


  1. What is "audio"?

  2. What does good sound mean?

  3. About media, sound sources

  4. My audio journey

  5. Encounter

  6. How to relate to music

  7. About magazines and reputations

  8. Analog or digital?

  9. Pursuing?

  10. Standards or data

  11. Closed topic

  12. Favorite music or something

  13. What is Vinyl Audio Laboratory?

  14. The materials and parts fir our products

  15. What is sensitivity?

  16. Listening to someone else's audio system means

  17. How to arrange audio equipment

  18. Shops and distributions

  19. Overseas and domestic

  20. Vacuum tube type or transistor/FET type?

  21. Speaker systems

  22. What is the best system?


いつか私なりの考え方や嗜好について皆様にお話しした方が良いだろうと思っていました。

ただなかなか整理が大変なのでそのままにしていました。

それではいつになっても始められないので取り敢えず、目次のような、テーマのようなものを列挙してみることにしました。

なお、この内容で書き進められるかどうかは分かりません。というのも書いている途中で別の言いたいことが出てきて、その話題に飛ぶかもしれませんので。


  1. オーディオとは?

  2. 音が良いとは?

  3. メディア、音源について

  4. 私のオーディオ遍歴

  5. 出会い

  6. 音楽との関わり方

  7. 雑誌、評論などに関すること

  8. アナログかデジタルか?

  9. 突き詰めるということ

  10. 規格やデータについて

  11. 閑話休題

  12. 好きな音楽など

  13. ヴァイナルオーディオ研究所とは?

  14. カートリッジを構成する素材、部品について

  15. 感性というもの

  16. 他人のオーディオを聴くということ

  17. オーディオ機器を揃えるアプローチについて

​​[Important Notice]

Regarding Product Inquiries and Procurement Channels
The products developed and manufactured by our laboratory are entirely handcrafted and individually inspected by a few staffs.

Because we deeply value delivering our products based on a transparent and sincere relationship of trust,

we kindly ask for your cooperation regarding procurement channels .

​

💡 Consult with Us Before Finalizing Channels

If you would like to ask whether it is possible to purchase through a specific dealer you frequently visit,

please feel free to consult with us via email beforehand.
However, if an arrangement or transaction channel is finalized before consulting with us,

and it involves an irresponsible broker,  we may not be able to guarantee proper product delivery or after-sales care.

In such cases, we may respectfully propose switching to a direct transaction, or we may be unable to accept the order.

Please consult with us via email during the planning stage of your purchase.


⚠️ Caution Regarding Non-Recommended and Irresponsible Intermediaries
On the other hand, there are certain intermediaries and unauthorized entities

with whom we cannot recommend dealing and with whom we have no association whatsoever.

Please exercise caution regarding procurement through intermediaries who display the following characteristics:

・Entitles who have not familiarized themselves with our technologies, products, how-to or policies, been never studying,

and are unable to explain them.
・Entities requesting direct shipment to the end customer without receiving the product themselves
・Brokers who accept orders from customers but refuse to handle or inspect the product,

requesting that our laboratory ship it directly to the customer solely to extract middleman margins.
・Entities offering no after-sales support to their own clients,
・Intermediaries who receive payment or margins from customers but completely abandon standard customer service,

such as explaining proper usage or assisting with initial care.
・Entities deflecting all issues or questions entirely to our laboratory
・Intermediaries
who refuse to assist when a question or issue arises between them and the customer,

simply telling the customer to deal with us directly while avoiding any accountability.
 

Our laboratory does not recognize the validity of such irresponsible entities,

and we cannot assume any responsibility for issues arising through these channels.


🎵 Please Share Your Passion for Music and Favorite Artists
Whether you contact us directly or through a trusted introduction,

we highly appreciate it if you could share the musical genres you enjoy and the specific artists you wish to hear in the highest fidelity.
Sharing the musical eras and artists you love allows me to offer tailored recommendations,

such as suggesting a specific model that would best resonate with your listening habits.​

Please contact by e-mail. Sorry we have no space to invite you.
