Sony Vinyl Recorder PS-HX500 - The stylus crossed and met the old time

The younger brother who recently helped prepare for the college entrance examination strengthened his political subjects and when he reviewed the philosophical part, he was still touched, especially when he said that "the movement is absolute and the quiescence is relative". Personally, it contains a simple truth. - People are animals that they like and should toss. They cannot let themselves go.


That's right, I myself. This is not true, the work is basically stable, and some improvements, just thinking about reorganizing our band with the former partners, the place has been selected, is a secluded basement, is currently maximizing the purchase of equipment, our keyboard The hand moved his hard-won vinyl record player.

It is also true that after all, some classic songs only survive in vinyl records, which is one of the reasons for the “rejuvenation of vinyl” in recent years; moreover, this Sony PS-HX500 was also shipped with Zhang Xinzhe’s song. The most important thing is that this vinyl record player can achieve music ripping. In this way, transferring the music to the mobile phone can also hear the texture of some black rubber...nothing to negotiate, you must first take it away. , experience it privately.

Self-assembling: Playing music requires "artisan spirit"


I am a craftsman, so the preparation of the Sony PS-HX500 is one of the reasons I love it. The preparation is the fuselage assembly. Keyboard player Ajer certainly used this camera. However, the vinyl phonograph needs shockproof. In order to protect it as much as possible during handling, Ajie still split it.



There are many parts of the PS-HX500. Rotary dials, rubber pads, top protective covers, and counterweight modules are all required to be installed manually. The heights of the horn and pickup heads need to be debugged. Of course, the small parts are basically ready. The integration does not worry about loss. Although it takes some time to install, the whole process is not complicated, and you can easily complete it by following the instructions.

The benefits of hands-on assembly, personally think that there are three: the most important thing is of course to add fun and sense of accomplishment; second is to understand the structure of the machine, able to independently solve some of the basic problems; the second is to cherish the "labor results" and take care of this Taiwan " precision instrument".

After the assembly is completed, it will be found that compared to most vinyl record players PS-HX500 can still be regarded as "exquisite figure", it touches Sony's "Slim of Living" design concept. Its body is made of medium-density fiberboard, 430mm x 104mm x 366mm, weight 5.4Kg, to accommodate more space scenes than competing products.

Look at the details, personally think that these details can be called the "artisan spirit" of the title, and these designs point to a core appeal - "shock absorber":

As mentioned earlier, the requirements for shock absorbers for phono players are quite high.

First, the PS-HX500 was designed with centrifugal mounting pins in an attempt to effectively reduce the body's resonance;


As for the vocal arm, the PS-HX500 uses a one-piece straight vocal arm, which is solid and at the same time maintains the overall body's lightweight feel. The lightweight design also optimizes the resonance and playback performance of the horn, of course, to strengthen the phono. Stabilization and improvement of the accuracy of recordings are the main purpose of this design.



Next is the pickup. The PS-HX500 uses a dynamic magnet type pickup and uses a round cartridge case made of die-cast aluminum alloy. The purpose is still to avoid corner resonance, which reduces the rendering of the sound.


The weight of the pickup is about 5g, and the official recommendation of the tracking acupressure is 3g. Need to adjust the acupressure and anti-skid force. This kind of "technical work" and "old burn" are most liked by people.


The design is lightweight, the assembly is relatively simple, and the debugging needs patience. The first impression, out of ten, gives the PS-HX500 an 8.5. The main reason is that I own the user as a vinyl record player. Repair is not enough. This pot is intended to let the machine Help me back.

Soft tone: meet the "old time" in the song

Having said so much, in the final analysis, the PS-HX500 classmate is a phono player. Although it can also reflect the taste of the band as a static decoration, the quality of the vocal performance is the key. "The movement is absolute, and the rest is relative." , vinyl records, must turn up.
As far as I know, there are three formats of vinyl records: 78 revolutions per minute, SP rough-grained recordings; 45 revolutions, EP singles; 33 one-third revolutions, LP micro-disc records, approximately 6 per side. Song.

The Sony PS-HX500 uses a vinyl disc with a diameter of 296mm, using DC motor + belt drive. Can support 33, one-third rev / min and 45 rev / min two kinds of vinyl records. Allow me to shake the cleverness here: Age-sensitive vinyl records are generally 33 and a third of a rpm. Of course, the song “Time” included with the player is a “little youth”, but it is the same. This kind of specification; the new product of vinyl records, the more used is the 45 rev / min specification, if you use 45 revolutions to play 33 and one-third turn vinyl turntable, be accelerated playback.


Because "The Age of Songs" was released at the beginning of last year, it is also an LP that comes with the player. Of course, this is a priority. It is said that the album's creative team went far to the United States, LA and foreign musicians into the studio synchronized Live recording, the master sent to London, Britain Beatles Queen's Abbey Road Studio for post-production, and finally arrived in Japan pressed into a classic vinyl disc . The process of irrigation can be regarded as a "global tour".


"Song Times" contains many classic songs. My favorite is "Love is like a tidal wave (light stream version)": a guitar-based minimalist soundtrack that highlights the emotional expression of singing, compared to other media, The black rubber is more able to show the sense of the times. After all, Ache has not been a young boy. His voice has a long history of precipitation. The PS-HX500 is just right because it does not expand the sense of vicissitudes. The inherent clarity and clarity of Zhe 嗓 嗓 , , , , , 依 , 。 is still perfectly interpreted.


As a “collection”, I also have some vinyl records in stock. The most precious baby is Tsai Chin’s Out of Mess. Personally, I like the first “forgotten time”: “Who is who beat me? The period of time that was forgotten by the strings was forgotten... "I put on my headphones and sneaked around. I picked up the buckets on the table and watched the cup of tea in the cup. The sunset was just out of the window. The past days were so beautiful... Zhe's "The Times of Songs", although "The Secret Music" is Tsai Chin's first album, but the record's own years of washing and adding PS-HX500's blessing, it becomes even more vicissitudes.

Overall, as a vinyl record player, the simulated taste of the PS-HX500 is just right, and the sound is not as complete as digital music. It is not as vague as some old record players are. The appearance of the face is soft and warm. If there is dust on the record, you can also hear the slight rubbing noise when the needle fluctuates. At this time, you will feel that the machine seems to be emotional.

Of course, if you listen to vinyl for the first time, it may still feel like the sound is blurred. That was when I was a child. In addition, personally think that the PS-HX500 is still more suitable for audio output, headphones, should be left in the pursuit of "lonely feeling" and do not want to bother others when the choice. Because the headset is more sensitive, there is a conflict with the vinyl style.

HD Rip: "Old Tree Sprouts" of Vinyl Records

In other words, despite its own characteristics in terms of providing sound quality, vinyl records have their own limitations, and their volume, noise floor, and disc life are all shortcomings. “Collections” usually buy at least one pair of children. (Two), also heard that there is "old burn" to buy a dozen (twelve), at the same time, the price of vinyl records is not cheap.

Although the method of transcription preservation alleviates the above problem to a certain degree, it is only gradually advancing with the Direct Stream Digital (DSD) format jointly developed by Sony and Philips in terms of transcription itself. The "killer" function of the PS-HX500 is here.



In terms of interfaces, Sony PS-HX500 has a set of B-type USB ports for connecting to computers in addition to RCA analog outputs. With Hi-Res Audio Recorder software, vinyl records can be transcribed into digital music files and edited and edited.
The Hi-Res Audio Recorder contains the USB driver for the Sony PS-HX500. When connected to a computer, the PS-HX500 can use the Hi-Res Audio Recorder to record sound while it is playing music. The Hi-Res Audio Recorder is easy to use and provides support for both LPCM and DSD encoding. Among them, DSD encoding supports 2.8MHz (DSD64) and 5.6MHz (DSD128) sampling. The LPCM encoding can support 16bit and 24bit bit depth, and the sampling rate supports common files such as 44.1KHz, 48KHz, 96KHz, and 192KHz.


The default setting is to transcribe CD quality LPCM format, 16 bit/44.1 KHz sample rate WAV files, and record about 100 MB for 10 minutes. Record the highest specification 5.6MHz sampled DSD format for 10 minutes and the file size is approximately 710MB. When ripping into DSD music, you can get the best feeling of vinyl, which is suitable for use in digital products because the inherent noise of vinyl will also be recorded. The average user is more suitable for ripping into LPCM-encoded WAV files, and the sharpness and dynamic range are improved. Compared with black rubber itself, it is improved.

Specifically how to choose, look at the taste. However, the blessing of the ripping function seems to allow those "old trees" who listen to the "once a little" album to produce "new shoots." The first time they are heard, they are directly transcribed. After that, they can be directly stored.

Characteristic products often reflect a unity of opposites. Just like the PS-HX500, it integrates old-fashioned feelings with fresh technology. Even though it is used for the first time, it will make people feel nostalgic for any time it takes. Listen to old times that haven't been forgotten.
