近期耳機最火爆的話題之一就是HIFIMAN的旗艦系統Shangri-La了，在去年RMAF首次亮相，當時因為展場臨時搭的帳篷CANJAM展區電壓不穩，表現受到限制，這次針對這部份做了內部改良對策，其實首次在RMAF聽時我就找不出有什麼缺點(除了價格之外)，這次再聽還是一樣，很好的聲音表現，感覺聲音質感又更為細膩、更有質感。Shangri-La擴大機上的音量控制是HIFIMAN的最新獨家專利，每一階都是單獨的電阻，成本非常高！本次發表的新產品還有Editon 6與EF1000，Shangri-La超高音！EF1000開發多年，起因是邊仿博士為了要推好自己在用的喇叭而開始設計，後來演變加入發燒耳擴的部份，並改用獨立電源，EF1000推力相當好，A類設計。

HARMAN’s Mark Levinson Introduces the № 515 Turntable for Uncompromising Analog Performance The first ever turntable from Mark Levinson celebrates the 45th Anniversary of the brand CES – LAS VEGAS – January 4, 2017 – At CES 2017, Mark Levinson by HARMAN today introduced the № 515 Turntable, designed for the discriminating analog music lover. Designed and built in partnership with industry-leader VPI Industries, the № 515 Turntable is handcrafted in the USA, and is the first turntable worthy of the Mark Levinson name. The № 515 is the perfect complement to the Pure Phono stage included in the recently released № 526 and № 523 pre-amplifiers. A premium-caliber turntable, the № 515 leverages superior technologies and craftsmanship from VPI Industries to deliver performance, features and appearance unique to Mark Levinson. The № 515 is based on a highly damped vinyl-wrapped MDF and aluminum sandwich main chassis. The chassis is supported by machined Delrin and Aluminum Mark Levinson feet with a vibration-damping polymer core. The 20-pound Aluminum platter rotates on an inverted bearing, which employs a hardened stainless steel shaft spinning in a phosphor bronze bushing for maximum rotational accuracy. The powerful high torque AC synchronous motor is mounted to a separate vinyl-MDF-Aluminum sandwich chassis and housed in its own mechanically isolated enclosure. A precision-machined pulley and triple belt drive system provide smooth, quiet operation. A custom-designed, low-distortion analog oscillator and discrete, class AB power amplifier deliver pristine power to the synchronous motor for accurate 33 and 45 RPM operation. The № 515 features a gimbal-mounted, 3D-printed tonearm with integral headshell, stainless steel counterweight, and discrete internal cartridge lead routing. The tonearm is mounted to a rigid, machined Aluminum arm base featuring on-the-fly adjustable vertical tracking angle. A custom designed stainless steel record weight and platter mat ensure maximum stability of playback. “The № 515 is being released during a time of rapid growth and resurgence in turntable and vinyl record sales,” said Jim Garrett, Director of Marketing and Product Management, HARMAN. “It celebrates our 45th anniversary and provides a first-class analog source for our new 500 Series.” “This turntable was engineered to be a perfect complement our Pure Phono stage. The warmth, fidelity and overall listening experience delivered by the № 515 absolutely must be heard to be appreciated,” said Todd Eichenbaum, Director of Engineering, HARMAN. The № 515 turntable will be available either with or without a factory installed moving coil phono cartridge. Pricing starts at $10,000 for the version without phono cartridge, and both versions will be available in Summer 2017.
