英国HI-FI CHOICE杂志的PS1000评论

交易区新帖推荐

Hi-Fi Choice杂志作为英国主流的音响杂志,终于给PS1000做了一个评论. 评论者是Richard Black.

说起Hi-Fi Choice,在歌德GS1000初问世时,曾给了它一个极高的评价. 高到啥样的地步呢? 高到当时它认为GS1000是动圈耳机里最好的一副,说它唯一的缺点,是"听了之后再听其他器材会觉得沮丧".

之后,HD800问世. Hi-Fi Choice又对HD800做了一个评论,并认为这回最佳动圈耳机的封号该从GS1000转移到HD800头上了.

再之后,歌德搞出了GS1000i . Hi-Fi Choice又及时地做出了反应:

Comparing this model with the HD800, we'd have to say we felt the latter to have the edge in both tonal neutrality and detail. On the other hand, the Grado is, perhaps, a little more lively dynamically and that alone will make it the obvious choice for many listeners. It has endless rhythmic vivacity and that, combined with the high resolution, makes it without a doubt one of the most convincing bits of audio kit we know.

(将这个耳机,即GS1000i,和HD800做一对比,我们必须承认,HD800在音色的中性和细节再现方面略有优势,但是与此同时歌德GS1000i的声音也许在动态上更为活跃一些. 仅这一点就可以使很多人选择它. 它具有无尽的节奏活跃感,这点和它极高的解析能力结合在一起,使它毫无疑问地成为最令人信服的音响重播器材之一.)

于是我很好奇地等着看Hi-Fi Choice对歌德PS1000耳机是如何说法. 果然等来了. 我大致地翻译一些,大家共享.



整体上的臧否是:

For (优点)
> Tonally neutral to an extent most headphones and speakers only dream of, with detail to die for and effortless dynamics: revealing and involving in equal, large, measure (音色中性的程度,为大多数耳机和喇叭所YY. 细节之丰富令人抓狂,具有轻松的动态表现力. 同时具备高揭示力和高吸引力这两大要素,而且程度相当,不偏不倚.)



Against (缺点)
> The combination of weight and rather hard headband can make long-term wearer comfort a serious issue (耳机本身的重量和较硬的头带使得长时间的佩带舒适度成为一个问题.)

看门人

PSK如能去掉金属外壳该是少人指责了。

Sound quality (音质)

As well as playing familiar CDs through these headphones, we were lucky to be able to give them some serious use at a recording session, where it was possible to compare live sound with reproduced (recorded using a superb Royer stereo ribbon microphone, carefully positioned) with only a few seconds between the two.
(除了用PS1000耳机欣赏熟悉的CD碟之外,我们也幸运地得到了一个难得的机会,在正式的录音场合中使用它. 这样我们就可以有机会将现场的真声和重播出来的声音进行间隔仅几秒钟的切换比较. 录音工作以一只位置精心摆放的Royer立体声丝带话筒进行.)

This kind of comparison may not be the most demanding in terms of detail, but will show up tonal imbalance like anything.  (这样子的比较,也许从细节解析方面说还不算要求最高的,但是,它会直接地揭示出音色的平衡度.)

What impressed us with the PS1000 was that the tone of the instruments (piano, violin and cello) was clearly very accurate right from the first note, which means that the headphone's contribution was unusually small.
(PS1000耳机给我们留下深刻印象的地方是,小提琴,钢琴和小提琴的音色非常之准确,从开始的第一个音起就是如此. 这也意味着耳机本身的个性非常之小.)

Having frequently used the GS1000 (original) in such a situation, we're in no doubt that the PS1000 beats it on grounds of neutrality. The GS is already very good, but the PS really steps up a gear. At the same time, it seems to transcend an obvious limitation of headphones in the bass – they can't make you feel low notes the way loudspeakers can.
(我们经常把GS1000耳机用在这样的场合中. 我们毫无疑问地觉得,PS1000的声音比GS1000更为中性. GS1000在这点上已做得很好,但PS1000确实更进了一步. 同时,这副耳机也超越了耳机在低频方面的局限性. 它们发出的低频能使人"感觉到",类似于喇叭低频的效果.)

In a few cases, though, they can make one believe that one has felt something. We found this with the Sennheiser HD800, as well as the GS1000 and the PS1000 might just be the best yet in this department.
(在一些地方,这副耳机能使人觉得"感觉到了声音". 这样的效果,HD800,GS1000耳机也有,但PS1000这方面的效果也许是最好的.)

Human perception can be tricked in all sorts of ways and evidently if the frequency balance is good, the bass extension just right and the distortion low, the ears and brain will between them create the illusion of real bass impact. The bottom few notes on a concert grand piano can be pretty visceral and that's what we heard – experienced – via the PS1000.
(人类的感知可以受到欺骗,假如频率平衡得好,低频延伸做得好,失真度足够低,人的耳朵和大脑之间会产生出一种真实低频的假象. 大三角钢琴的最低音域的音能使人的身体感觉到,我们从PS1000耳机中体验到了这种感觉.)

Returning to the world of familiar CDs, we were more than a little impressed with the amount of detail that was being brought out, even from recordings of no remarkable sonic merit. In this respect, we would place this headphone as roughly an equal to the HD800, which on the other hand we rated better than the GS1000.
(回到重放熟悉的CD碟,我们对于PS1000的细节再现能力印象非常之深,即使是录音质量并不出色的CD碟. 在这方面,我们大致把它摆在与HD800同等的水平上. HD800我们给它的整体评价是高于GS1000的.)

Such rankings aside, however, we are in general terms talking about the sort of detail that the best loudspeakers on the planet will only give if fed by the finest ancillaries in a carefully optimised set-up – in other words, the kind of thing you just don't hear every day.
(撇开这种座次问题不谈,我们说的意思是,这是地球上最好的喇叭在搭配最好的周边器材时能给出的细节表现水平. 这样的水平是难得一听的.)

Even in areas where headphones tend to play second fiddle to speakers, notably imaging, the PS1000 manages a more than passable performance.
As for dynamics, they wonderfully combine the shock factor of sudden changes in level, which makes for excitingly rhythmic music-making, with the subtle, maybe almost imperceptible, swell of a gradual crescendo, which grows from quiet to deafening without the slightest sense of effort, but with spine-tingling final effect.
(即使是在那些耳机天生弱于喇叭的领域,比如空间结像,PS1000的表现也完全可以接受. 至于动态能力,PS1000奇妙地结合了猝发的动态变化带来的"刺激音效",以及微妙得几乎难以感知的渐强音造成的效果,这种渐强能从宁静自然而轻松地逐渐增长为振聋发聩的地步,效果能使人的神经震颤.)



In any type of music, at any level, this is music reproduction of the highest order which convinces both instinctively and analytically. Hats off to Grado!
(以任何音量播放任何音乐,这都是最高级别的音乐重播,不论是感性上还是理性上都令人信服. 让我们向GRADO脱帽致敬!)

算是毒文吗！？     白版得搞付试听

歌德的声音还是独树一帜的，而且在欧洲歌德的评价向来都很高

lovemusicli

不知道hifi choice是拿什么驱动的ps1000

liuyindong2007

就凭歌德的鲜活感，听什么音乐都能打动人心

挺喜欢歌德的，希望PS1000的质量会好些，外观就不要说了，起码能用个几年就心满意足了

musicforever

现在歌德质量这么差

这文章还是感觉避重就轻，参考性一般

产量太低了

产量太低了

PS1000的产量,和STAX 007耳机有得一拼. STAX 007耳机的月产量据称是50-60副. PS1000稍多,但月产量可能也就一百多副.
