Where does the love of music and begins Audiophiles

We live in a world of people who are indifferent to the music. If tomorrow you buy a German S-Class or a designer coat, then look at you with envy and respect, but if suddenly someone finds out, that you will spend on good headphones that stand as ultrabook, in his eyes, you are, of course, will remain forever and audiophile idiot.

Audiophile in the understanding of the masses - is a person who likes expensive musical instrument. But this concept is applicable more to the fanatics. In fact, sensible people are buying expensive equipment is not for the sake of owning an expensive technique. They just want to hear the music really.

What do you mean "really"? It's simple. You do not buy a copy nouneymovye iPhone? But why? After all, they are very similar. Perhaps you want to get the genuine product, this, this, as he is seen and established Apple's, right? Same with the music. Connoisseur wants to enjoy not like, not a set of compression results and limitations of dynamic headphones and a real sound - the way it was in the studio. So, how I could hear his creation composer.

Actually, there emerges the problem of mass consumption and technology. In the same way as MP3 inevitably distorts the original composition due to loss of data, massive dynamic headphones are not able to exactly convey the sound due to technical limitations.

Dynamic - is any headphones in stores. Rising from unpretentious Philips to mediocre and great Sennheiser Audio-Technica, you begin to understand why the prices are so different. But one day manage to listen to a planar-magnetic by chance you (also known as isodynamic) headphones, and not the most expensive, and relatively modest cost for the segment Oppo PM-1. And at this very moment your life is divided into before and after.

To unlock the potential of these headphones have once and for all forget about the lossy-format music. No MP3. Only lossless, only FLAC, WAV, DSD and other noble representatives of the digital music without loss of quality. Suddenly, miracles begin. Even favorite songs are recognized immediately. Heard one hundred times the songs sound as if they were cleared, added a lot of fine detail, thanks to which you transferred from the plane mediocre sound in a new world. Volumetric, juicy, full of colors. This stunning effect of the presence, if your favorite team is located right in front of you. Here you feel the deep soft bass party. The drummer gives a nice transition. You close your eyes, and the brain itself complements the sound feeling of the picture. You're not in your room. You're out there on the live performance. More precisely, you're not there, and they're here. Musicians are conveniently located around you to perform the best songs, and you - the only listener.

Why such a difference in the sound? The answer lies in technology. Conventional dynamic headphones - it is, in fact, conventional speakers, which were created to be large and located at a distance from the listener. Miniaturization in this case there is an attempt to cram nevpihuemoe with all the consequences.

Isodynamic planar magnetic headphones - this is a fundamentally different technology. There is no usual speaker, a sound generating diaphragm is thinnest Ultra-Light, which surface with a magnetic system is driven entirely without distorting sound. Miniaturization in this case does not prevent, but rather contributes to obtaining ideal sound. The technology is not new, even in the Soviet Union made such headphones. However, from a certain moment we forgot about them, and the market was littered with extremely dynamic solutions.

Who is bucking the trend, because even the most complex "normal" headphones are rested on the ceiling - the limit of dynamic design features. At the same time they are a millimeter are not getting to the quality that we could talk about the plausibility of play compared to the sound of the composition actually. Here is suitable compared with black-and-white movie: You can increase the sharpness of the image to infinity, but without the color you will never be conveyed the beauty of the surrounding world.

The second wave of popularity izodinamiki overtook us at a time when technology had gone far ahead and process technologies allow the creation of even the most miniature design with stunning accuracy. The result is a parish in the segment of more affordable isodynamic headphones from the American manufacturer. Oppo PM-1 - one of the most interesting examples of such premium acoustics.

You get the highest quality product at the best value, and this is very good, if not one big BUT!

Those most audiophiles fanatics who refuse to reckon with objective measurement data and genuinely believe that if the brand is not too hyped and not the most expensive, it is, by definition, is not worthy purchases. Too low a price, in their opinion, is a weighty argument. You are likely to hear something in the style:

Your magneplanarki cost just dollars apiece? Yes, you see, how much are normal headphones!

It is here and ends with a love of music. If a person puts a brand and price above the objective indicators of quality, then we can talk about the clinic.

This is especially true in the category of hi-end-equipment. There is no cheap and low-quality samples, because even close to the lower boundary of the price range variant several times more expensive consumer goods, and the quality standard is inaccessible to bulk products height. It is important to remember that good equipment does not tolerate savings on individual elements of the system. Listen to izodinamike MP3 player with cheap - it is insanity. The Oppo has a range of discrete balanced amplifier HA-1, designed specifically for isodynamic headphones and able to fully disclose their potential.

A feature of Oppo HA-1 is the ability to play music directly from your smartphone or tablet, or any other mobile device with Bluetooth. If you decide to go to the next level of music listening, then you and so will spend more. Do not overpay for the brand, in the hi-end-segment, it does not mean anything.
