"Stereo is still wonderful" - My Progresses 57
"Stereo is still wonderful" I shouted today afternoon.
10 days before, I had purchased a bluetooth speaker which cost less than 1,500 yen. When this wireless speaker arrived and tried, playing music with my Walkman, another newly arrived item, I was surprised at its unexpectedly good sound although it was monaural.
At that time I even thought that I was almost completely satisfied with this monaural wireless speaker, except its loud sound when I turn it on and when a bluetooth connection is established. I used this speaker in the first 5 days after it arrived, and almost forgot about a low budget DIY stereo system I made 2 years ago.
I even began to look for another bluetooth speaker more expensive, having good reputation, better sound quality, more convenience in managing power, and still monaural. I even began to think that monaural audio can be good audio and I didn't even need stereo when I enjoy listening to music.
Today, I turned up the volume of Lepai LP-2020A+, the amplifier, driving Fostex p800k with p800-e DIY speaker, "the forgotten low-budget DIY hi-fi system". I played sound tracks of Atelier Series (i.e. I played game musics). I was so amazed by the sound and I shouted "Stereo is still wonderful" as I introduced at the top of the post.
A wireless speaker certainly gives us comfort in that musics will become freer and more handy, released from the limit of wire and somehow restraining earphones. On the other hand, even my humblest choice of components, listening to music turning up the sound of a hi-fi system may still give us pleasure a handy wireless speaker may not give.
