Inter BEE 2024 SHIZUKA Stillness Panel Audio Room (2024)
The invisible “exhibition of sound” is, in other words, an exhibition of “silent space”. A semi-anechoic room constructed with SHIZUKA Stillness Panels, which are made of urethane foam pressed into a honeycomb structure (patented by the manufacturer). 5.1ch experience with the TD307MK3, with its 6.5cm full range, time domain, and new dimension of IR performance, will surprise you to know that the speakers are below your ears, yet you are surrounded by birdsong from all directions. The height expression of the live recording is also quite impressive.
The Restoration of SACD
In the September issue of “STEREO,” a monthly audio magazine, there was an article about the SACD “JAZZ BOSSA and Reflections Vol. 1,” which is a hot topic among audiophiles, and a simultaneous listening test of SACD players. This SACD is a compilation of famous jazz recordings from the Verve label in the U.S. and bossa nova recordings from Philips in Brazil, selected and remastered by Seigen Ono. Despite including many well-known songs that everyone has heard before, this disc has caused many experts to say that they have heard these songs for the first time. It has created a completely different listening experience for many.
In response to this article, on October 16 (the anniversary of Kazuhiko Kato's death), the audio monthly magazine “STEREO” presented “Reminiscence of Tone/JAZZ BOSSA and Reflections Vol. 1J” at “Esoteric/K-05XD” at the Daikanyama “Bean in the Sky if the Sun shines The Folk Crusaders / War and Peace” SACD is a recording of Mr. Kazuhiko Kato's acoustic guitar, and you can also hear the attention to tone quality unique to DSD (SACD), which cannot be reproduced to this extent on CD.
