奥地利 EAT
来自东欧斯诺伐克Euro Audio Team,以三个英文字母EAT作为品牌的名称。 厂家本身原来是以出产真空管见称。特式是所有真空管型号都是自行生产和检测 。 EAT掌舵人 Jozefina Krahulcová 提及过,整过生产过程都十分讲究,单是找出适合之人选去负责以吹玻璃方式,吹出真空管应有的原状都花耗相当时间和工序,而且EAT真空管的阳极是选择采用锆石代替石墨以增强电子管的使用寿命。经过600度的烤烘将EAT之招牌烧焗上玻璃面,再加入热管和「胆脚」后就将真空管送入由瑞士制造名叫「Pink」的抽真空机器以进行真空处理。造好的管子还须经过机器不低过24小时不停陈化工作,然后放入多部测试仪器作详细质检,以确保制品的工作隐定性和音色表现的准确度。
EAT生产的真空管型号有ECC803S, ECC88, 300B三极管和KT88放大管四款。另外,EAT亦特别设计了一种名为Cool Damper之外罩以供细管使用。作用是能令真空管减低谐震和散热,而且罩内围有六根碳纤加Telfon组成之阻尼胶,能轻易取出和套上内围的不同深浅度的V型坑槽,能适用因不同厂家生产而出现尺寸偏差,又或者是不同编号的细管使用。本身EAT原厂的ECC803S及ECC88亦加上此Cool Damper以增强其表现质素。ECC803S属独立双三极式设计,采用24k镀金脚及经过多翻陈化和热量测试。KT88更使用石墨底座,镀金脚和以两支配对或四支完全配对出售。备有自行生产及检定优点的EAT,厂方承诺KT88和300B管均拥有原厂签发的6个月保用期 ,确实是消费者的购买信心保证。
随着发展的须要,EAT亦将办公室和部份生产线移至奥大利,直至2009年正式将生产线加入黑胶制品,推出首个顶班黑胶唱盘名为Forte。须然是首个唱盘,但厂毫不吝惜,按照超级重型唱盘所要求而设计,包含采用多种防震功能,磁浮县挂,双马达等优秀技术。在香港及国内杂志写手给予极高评价,Hi-fi音响杂志主编何森先生,反复测试过后,更成为此唱盘的主人。
反应甚佳的Forte唱盘,驱使EAT在黑胶制品上加以发展,期待不久将来,会有更精彩的唱盘制品出现。
Music is why we are here. Everything is music and music is everything.
You cannot touch music but you feel it when your heart is open to it.
There are many different styles of music. When you are young, you respond by instinct. Maturity however, brings with it the ability to understand one or more of the myriad genres, and the need for maturity is fulfilled when you start to feel the message that the music wishes to reveal to us. Music tells us the stories that we need to hear in any given time. Music makes our lives richer, more meaningful and more substantial.
All European Audio Team high performance products have been designed to bring us as close as possible to the meaning and spirit of the original composition and performance. We become a part of the performance.
Music transcends the boundaries of language and culture. It is communication with one's soul.
We invite you to experience the delights and revelations of music through components created by those who love music as much as you do.
