日本 DS Audio 最新“ GRAND MASTER” 旗艦唱頭

DS Audio further developed the optical cartridge system by implementing independent LED’ s and photo-detectors (PD’ s) for the left and right channels. The result is that the cartridge output voltage is dramatically increased from 40mV to 70mV (a 75% increase) and channel separation is greatly improved. The new Grand Master optical cartridge system has been optimized, by implementing an independent LED and photo-detector arrangement for the left and right channels. As a result the cartridge output voltage has greatly increased from 40mV to 70mV.

Despite this dramatic increase in output, the excellent signal to noise ratio that DS Audio optical cartridges are renowned for has not been compromised. In fact, quite the opposite is true. The Grand Master cartridge offers a greatly improved S/N ratio when compared to its stable mates, resulting in an even lower noise floor and far greater musical clarity.In addition to this, the new independent design of the Grand Master cartridge has made it possible to eliminate crosstalk, greatly improving left and right channel separation (in particular the high frequency separation has improved by10dB in comparison to its DS Audio forebears.)

雖然 Grand Master 與所有 DS Audio 型號唱頭共享相同的 LED/光電概念，但Grand Master 的核心內部結構進一步小型化，並分為雙單聲道結構。唱頭正面的白色 LED 純粹是裝飾性的。然而，針尖和針干之間不是一個而是兩個窄光束紅外線 (850μm) LED，電壓輸出靠被固定在鑽石針干後部的極細 [鈹] 板移動所產生。當唱頭在巡跡時,感應器反映針干帶著 [鈹] 板移動時產生的電流。由於Grand Master的移動質量比其他型號更低，令Grand Master 的高頻靈敏度（其響應）進一步擴展。







傳統的 RIAA 唱放感應唱頭(MM/MC )在巡跡時的速敏特性產生輸出，其中訊號電壓隨著V槽改變而變化，從而產生訊號頻率及音壓。相較之下，DS Audio 的發電原理集中於唱針在巡跡時的震動，唱放只需要較細的高頻增強即可實現錄音在 RIAA 壓縮前的原本「平坦」響應。所以失真更低, 訊噪比更高.
