As I received a few questions about my audio equipments, I will show them in brief hereafter.

Its main components are as follows:

Main Amplifier: vacuum tube power amplifier DEMON POA-1000B 320w 34kg Sub-Amplifier: Sony TA-V606 Control Amplifier: Pioneer C-90a Speaker System: Richard-Allen Woofer 40 cm Mid-range 22cm, Pioneer S-99Twin Woofer 20 cm Tweeter 3 cm Center Speaker : Sony SS-T70ES Rear Speaker: Bose Turn Table: Lux Load free Direct-Drive Turn Table PD441 Tone-Arm: Koetsu SAC-1100DMKIII Compact Disc Player: CAP-R! DA Converter Unit: Sony DAB-R1 Digital Audio Tape Deck: Sony DTC-2000 Hi-Vision Television: Panasonic THE-32HV40

The pick-up cardrige and its booster are made by Koets. The most of audio cables except the newest ones are Koetsu.

In order to listen music transmitted in digital via satellite as good as possible in its sound quality, I use a digital-analog convertor for Sony CD players in stead of one in a BS tuner (This is very effective for improving sounds.) When I see succor games or sumo matches (Japanese wrestling ) on the high-vision, I use a built-in sound amplifier of high-vision TV set by activating Derby Effects of a sub-amplifier, without using a main amplifier. I can enjoy sports events in this way.

The Richard Allen speaker system were bought from Mr. Sugano of Koetsu. The thick and solid plywood board, on which a wolfer was attached, was specially made by Mr. Sugano. Furthermore the attenuators of the system were also made specially by Mr. Sugano.

I visited Mr. Sugano before noon today after long days. He will become ninety three years old in early next year. He looked fine with a clear and bright face. When I told him I was enjoying music with sounds of old days, he said he would like to come to my home and to check the sound quality by himself. Although he cannot move his right hand freely and walk without difficulty, his golden ears have been kept well.
