Stella inc、Vivid Audioの製品価格を値上げへ。８月１日より。

国内ニュース速報 [Japan]

拝啓　時下　益々御清栄のこととお慶び申し上げます。

さて、当社取り扱いの主力ブランドでございますVIVID Audio 各製品につきまして、来る８月１日より価格を改定させていただきます旨ご連絡差し上げます。

今回のVIVID Audio の価格改定は、主にVIVID Audio 社の出荷価格の上昇に起因するものです。
VIVID Audio では、材料価格の高騰などによる製造コストの上昇を理由に、過去数回にわたり出荷価格を上昇させてきておりましたが、当社では業務合理化などの営業努力によりここ数年間日本国内での定価を変更せずに頑張ってまいりました。しかし今回のVIVID Audio の出荷価格の上昇は当社の努力範囲を超えており、従いまして、やむなく定価を必要最小限変更させていただくことといたしました。

まことに心苦しい決定であり申し訳ございませんが、何卒事情をご高察の上今後とも篤いご支援を賜りますようお願い申し上げます。

敬　具
株式会社ステラ

Pure and profound

A piano comes into this world through the perfect synergy of advanced technical skill and artistry. Such a piano can create sound that truly reflects the player’s feelings.

The final stage in piano production is called “voicing.” This breathes life into the instrument and truly makes it musical. To accomplish this, highly skilled experts focus their concentration and sensitivity completely on each note and delicately adjust the hardness and resilience of the hammers that strike the strings, establishing the perfect, consistent sound for the entire instrument and determining its tonal personality.

Beautiful and elegant in appearance, sturdy and reliable in construction, created with the latest, innovative technology and genuine craftsmanship—all nurtured by our long experience in the manufacture of musical instruments.

Yamaha proudly offers this new high-end lineup, the 3000 series, delivering supreme quality in every way. This is the manifestation of our passion to give music lovers the ultimate in listening enjoyment—a tradition we’ve been carrying on and advancing for more than 125 years.

 

Sound Direction

The goal: To express the deepest emotions of the artist, to touch and move the hearts of listeners, and to deliver the utmost pleasure in the music. The S3000 series was born from this passion. In order to make this a reality, we designed the A-S3000 Integrated Amplifier literally from the ground up.

Profoundly accurate sound with the full expressive power of the music. Exceptional sonic purity, elimination of signal loss—in an exquisite, elegant design. The supreme culmination of the Yamaha line—the A-S3000.

In creating the CD-S3000 CD Player, we took strict, thorough steps to eliminate vibrations in the disc drive mechanism, which is the key instrument in reading the audio signals.

 

Rigid Streamlined Construction

■Rigid Streamlined Construction— provides strict anti-vibration protection, and enables shortest cabling routes
■Large toroidal transformer, solidly mounted with independent three-dimensional inner frame
■Comprehensive low impedance design, shortened signal paths and copper-plated chassis
■Six mm thick top panel made of non-magnetic aluminium plate

 

Meticulously designed and beautiful in appearance—just like a musical instrument

As befits a top-end audio component, the A-S3000 gives off the presence of a fine musical instrument, with absolutely no screws or fasteners that can be seen from the outside. Every single aspect of its construction and design exudes master craftsmanship and reflects an obsession with quality—a truly musical quality possible only for Yamaha, a world class musical instrument manufacturer.
■Exquisite, large level meters reflect the dynamics in the music
■Obsessive, meticulous switch design— elaborate, richly textured, easy-to-use
■Remote control with simple design and superior texture

Wadia INTUITION 01 Digital Integrated Amplifier
予価： \1,200,000（税抜）

INTUITION 01 THE STATE-OF-THE-ART IN MUSIC PLAYBACK

Wadia has advanced its tradition of progressive technology and industrial design, to deliver a product with the utmost in performance and aesthetics while also being environmentally conscious. Intuition focuses on the digital inputs, with 192 kHz/24 bit resolution for Coax, optical and AES and 384 kHz/32 bit via USB. There are also two analog inputs. At the heart of the digital decoding is a high resolution, 32 bit AD/DA digital preamp with a 1.5 MHz sampling frequency. The 350 watt, high efficiency power amplifier is capable of driving any loudspeaker. Its design is proudly made in Italy.

・High power output and excellent current delivery
・High resolution USB input: 384 kHz/32 bit
・Native DSD playback via USB

The Intuition 01 utilizes an innovative implementation of Wadia’s celebrated Digimaster algorithm, the Delta-SigMaster (the original Digimaster was a groundbreaking design created over two decades ago). Delta-SigMaster is a 1.536 MHz upsampling algorithm (FIR 1.200 taps) far superior to standard industry practices, as well as the previous Wadia Delta-Sigma implementation. The ESS 9018 SabreDAC provides the decoding horsepower delivering effortless musical performance. Technology, musicality and stunning design combined in a component destined to become an instant classic: Intuition by Wadia.

Concerto Power Amplifier

Housed in the same size billet Aluminum chassis as the Crescendo, the Concerto delivers 125W into 8 ohms and 225W into 4 ohms. Like all Viola power amplifiers the Concerto uses a choke input power supply. This reduces peak charging currents that are prevalent in capacitor input supplies. This minimizes intermodulation distortion on the power supply rails on ground returns.

Concerto Audio Design
The Concerto is a Class AB biased push-pull amplifier design. The Concerto incorporates Motorola ThermalTrak™ into the bias network. This provides fast thermal feedback information without the thermal lag of other bias topologies. A center chassis Venturi style heat sink provides cooling for the amplifier. Connections to loudspeakers are provided by a pair of WBT nextgen™ connectors per channel.

Network
The Concerto can be connected to the Crescendo preamplifier via the CAN (Controller Area Network) connector. When this is done Concerto status information including temperature and line voltage are transmitted to the Wi-Fi remote application. This also provides synchronization of the color displays and standby modes.
