I recently installed a DS Audio Grand Master for a client. I don't usually go in for multi-thousand dollar cartridges, but I have to admit, that was the best sound I ever heard come from a vinyl record. And I say that with 47 years of audio tech experience behind me.
You can feel the passion put into these.. I guess we should all thank his Dad. Thanks for this upload. Hey Michael, I always thought you looked familiar. I just now realized you look like Brad Dourif..
That was Billy Hayes portrayed by Brad Davis in Midnight Express. Brad Dourif was Billy Bibbit in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. An honest mistake. But sure, go ahead. Do tell about your Turkish prison time, Michael. :)
Most interesting and impressive . . . I very much enjoy the background and the inside stories. There are so much hype and deception in the industry perpetuated by so many pretentious people, who take the first skimmings off the populous based upon so much snake oil. I appreciate your approach to the true reproduction of music and gathering information in the progression of the technology industry.
Wow... Optical LED Cardridge. Cool what`s on the Way! I wonder if you thought foreward to such Things, 45 Years Back when sitting in your appartement, listening to Records and smoking Dope lol.... Michael, you nailed it ^^
Please use a cheap microphone, which is just good for the job. The imaging now keep shifting left and right, because you moved the microphone while talking . I had thought my headphone had a short somewhere.
mmm, was it you whistling through your teeth, often, when touring DSA. on audio? - please don't do that. nice to see enthusiasm of Aki and his efforts to have high quality in all things. what is your ioinion of hid cartridge and equalizer. vs. similarly priced all-magnetic carts? - its what we aöö really want to know!
Vibrations converted to magnetic field and then back to electric current is lossy. With optical the movement is converted to electrical. More accurate.
I was under the impression that this was a totally optical cartridge , but it's mechanical to optical then digitally processed . Rather a lot of operations going on .
Fremer-san Thank you very much for coming our office during your tight schedule ! It was a great time!
You are so humble. Thank you for all your amazing work!
I am impressed with your passion.
What is the lifespan?
What an incredible young man. Really cool to hear his reaction to the first time he heard vinyl.
Great to now see, some five years later, DS Audio getting some real traction.
Great video, as another poster said I just love the passion of the Japanese when it comes to high end audio.

The Japanese have always produced some of the best equipment in the world! I have always called them the "Swiss" of the East.
Great videos Mr Fremer. What is that song your whistleling? Sounds familiar:)
Yeh that's right. . . more new recuds.

It would have been a good idea to explain exactly what the optical technology is all about - how it works. Why optical?

And here I thought my 70s Pioneer manual turntable with an Ortofon Blue was amazing...
