Ohhhhh....a vacuum tube!

Too bad my MINI doesn't have hole in the lower grill. 'cause if it did, I could start it like this:
(sorry, couldn't resist. What exactly is the function of the tube? The page is in Japanese...)

The advantage of tubes in sound reproduction is audibly clear, however, if you were unaware of the fact here's the translation from the above website made with BabelFish:

"For the first time * 1, adopting the vacuum tube forthe buffer amplifiersection in the world as a CD receiver for load. The three-dimensional acoustic image which has thickness and the kind of depth where warmly the rich timbre which is the straw raincoat surfaces with merit, the respective part is reproduced. There is the tasting which is unique to vacuum tube sound, the fans are not few even in the world of audio for home.

In addition, also affinity of the music which it is compressed is recorded with MP3 is good, can enjoy also long haul playback with delicacy and mellow sound. As for the vacuum tube which is in the midst of operating it can watch from the window of the aluminum face panel, whether ほ light る judo kana light Moody furthermore raises atmosphere.



Vacuum tube
There is a height of the response efficiency for the feeble signal the vacuum tube, as one of the music playback ability to be superior. Speed of sound it is fast in comparison with the transistor and the like, sound without being attached モタ, it becomes the rich expression which playback sound of low level has the energy impression. In order with TX5500 to utilize this merit, the vacuum tube was adopted for the buffer amplifier section which is next D/A converter output.

When it possesses the quality which decreases level in the high frequency limits which become the noise component, it is the buffer amplifier, simultaneously, it carries out also role as a low-pass filter. The transistor amplifier compared to generally, it is said that distortion factor is high, but because as for this the feeling good even number next distortion factor is included in the hearing of the human to the vacuum tube, is.

And being to actualize the playback of the sound which from vacuum tube unique depth has this even number next distortion factor, it does. "

Old doesn't mean bad... It often means better, but more expensive.

well that's disappointing!!

I thought it was a flux capacitor, where we could then go back in time with our MINIs and race among minis.. along with other things i'd no doubt do in the past.. and oh yeah you can go in the future to, guess I could see where MINI goes.. maybe becomes the MiNi

anyway, would be sweet.. all i gathered from that site was that it was a flux capacitor, too.. but oh well
