המותג השווייצרי X-Quisite מבית Thales הראש המסקרן ביותר בעולם

[קודו אודיו]

איזה כיף האנלוג ממשיך להשתפר

חברת האנאלוג השווייצרית Thales tonearm (שהיא גם הבעלים והיצרן של חברת EMT חברת ראשי ה MC),
השיקה לאחר כשלוש שנים שהוקדשו לתכנון,פיתוח ורישום פטנטים את מותג הקצה היוקרתי X-quisite .
החידוש המהפכני והייחודי הנו מנגנון מונו בלוק עשוי חומר קרמי קשיח המעביר את האות מה tip ישירות ל-coils ברזולוציה ופירוט יוצאי דופן תוך שמירה על טבעיות הצליל.

REVIEW BY ROLAND KRAFT
Stereoplay 09/2020

Conclusion: Before the X-quisite, nobody probably knew how much sound was actually still in the good old record. A real leap forward in technology and certainly the best MC pickup in the world by far at present. It is to be hoped that the Swiss Analog Think Tank will manage to transfer its groundbreaking technology to more affordable price regions​

לחברה 2 דגמים :

ה- X-quisite ST (גוף מטיטניום וסלילים מכסף) מחיר 11700 פרנק שוויצרי

ה-X-quisite CA (גוף מאלומיניום וסלילים מנחושת) מחיר 8400 פרנק שוויצרי

בנוסף השיקה החברה שנאי MC יעודי.

נראה מוצר מדהים, יצא לך לשמוע?

 

[קודו אודיו]

שבוע טוב כרמי,ההשקה תוכננה להתקיים במינכן...אילוצי קורונה גרמו לשינוי מסלול ולבסוף הושק בסינגפור.
עדיין לא יצא לי לשמוע,בתחילת שבוע הבא אזכה .
אעלה בהמשך תרגום לאנגלית של הביקורת האחרונה מ stereo play הגרמני,קיבל ציון של 70 מתוך 70,הפעם הראשונה והיחידה שראש כלשהו מקבל כזה ציון (נדיה קומאנצ'י)

Stereoplay magazine Germany Roland Kraft calls the X-quisite
“by far the best MC cartridge in the world"​

תרגום מבקורת ב stereo play הגרמני (בעזרת גוגל טרנסלייט...) :

Revolution. Now. It is rare that the limits are set again with an old, deeply developed technology. The X-quisite ST is a technical revolution in pickup construction

Cherry wood with piano lacquer. Aircraft aluminum covered with shark skin. Semi-precious stone with Indian ink paintings. Coils made from old tooth gold. In itself, the topic of pickups seemed exhausted, right down to the points just listed, which fit more into an alternative jewelry store than into real technical development. Sorry if we come across as a little cynical here. But we were actually a little bit bored. The Swiss Micha Huber has now put an end to this. Admittedly at a price that is his Keeping the scanner revolution away from ordinary mortals for the time being. But that doesn't have to stay that way. And we want and need to know where the bar will be in the future: Not a little higher, no, but towering away, in a different, better world of sound. That may sound like an exaggeration now. But that's not it. In fact, the X-quisite ST plays in a completely different league, in which there is currently no opponent for the MC cartridge developed by HiFiction AG in Turbenthal over the past three years. The reason is of a tangible technical nature. And to look there where the tiny, but with high forces occurring deflections of the needle as precisely as possible on the spool must be transferred

Even exotic needle carriers up towards boron, sapphire or Diamond, which are in contrast to aluminum needle carriers hardly bend anymore, own a systematic vulnerability at the transition to the coil carrier. Exactly on this one The Swiss developer sets a point to: At the patented "Monobloc ceramic" technology are needle carriers and Bobbin from a single, tiny piece of high strength Ceramic made. The combined Application of cutting-edge Production methods made possible doing the production of a partially hollow needle carrier with octagonal cross-section; at the transition between the needle carrier and bobbin, exactly where the highest loads occur, the otherwise common joint.

The result is an extremely high one Stiffness of needle carrier and Bobbin and thus a audibly more precise transmission the mechanical deflection on the reels. But it comes even better: a micro ridge Diamond will fit perfectly into a Cross hole of the ceramic needle carrier used and with a minimal amount of Adhesive fixed. The moved The mass at the sampling point is here at record-breaking low 0.8 milligrams. Micha takes care of the coils Huber optionally on copper, Silver or gold wire in high purity Quality. To be in the ironless Magnetic circuit anyway sufficiently high output voltage to achieve comes as a magnet a neodymium pure iron Combination for use, at which the eddy current losses reduced to a minimum could become. Around mechanical contact between transducer and tonearm as direct as possible shape, includes an aluminum holder the magnet unit completely; an intermediate layer of rosewood on the support surface has a positive effect on that Resonance behavior. The real one Housing becomes from one solid block milled and consists of aluminum, depending on the

model or titanium. At the smallest model of the X-quisite come copper coils and that Aluminum housing used, the Price is 8700 euros; the tested X-quisite "ST" with Silver coils in titanium design beats with a whopping 12,000 euros to book. That HiFiction one Transformers for the same price is only marginally here mentioned, although this station wagon then the sound takes off completely

An adequate phono level it should be about the sometimes-stunned listeners to demonstrate that a Record like a top tape machine can sound, too Compare to extremely good ones DSD canned food - the one on this one Level no longer either can keep up - were drawn. The incredibly clean, completely artifact and distortion-free Playback goes with one barely noticeable Running noise of the needle and inspires with a dynamic the one of record playback simply not expected would have; how much air after actually still up in the system is now demonstrating hitherto unknown level of Precision combined with a already shocking attention to detail, which overshadows everything represents what we have so far of sound customers have heard. Of the amazing scanner works miraculously neither to analytically too strict, but rather presents a deeply emotional Richness of timbre like from another world. Not to mention until now unimagined precision in the bass. You will surely notice: We are deeply impressed. And that thus the record playback wrested a new dimension proves again that the old technology is highly topical is- Roland Kraft​

ביקורת נוספת משבחת את הראש MC X-quisite הפעם מהמגזין mono and stereo
דגם CT (דגם ה"כניסה" גוף מאלומיניום/עץ וסליל מנחושת) :

https://www.monoandstereo.com/2020/09/x-quisite-ca-mc-c ... .html#more

Huber's X-quisite CA pickup is not just another Deja Vu MC cartridge. It's in dept and thoroughly researched and evaluated product with superb mechanical properties and emotional inner heart.

From track to track, from album to album, X-quisite CA has proven to be an analog gem that can expose some of the new analog palatinates and open up unexplored regions. It cuts through the layers of music far beyound the accustomed level and unveils further subtle aspects that I have not yet acknowledged​
