Angelis Labor Gabriel


Angelis Labor Gabriel: "GABRIEL - Debut September 2008

A true reference turntable equipped with a base that can accept up to four arms. The materials used include aluminum, bronze and stainless steel. The turntable and arm are totally decoupled at several points - beneath the base, beneath the turntable and beneath the pin, using a magnetic field calibrated and controlled with great precision.

Type: magnetic levitation
Transmission: double Belt in special material
Thrust block: Magnetic levitation with absolutely no friction or noise. The tolerance levels of the mechanical parts are incredibly low.
Power supply: Three speeds, 33 – 45 – 78 rpm with fine regulation. The motor is controlled by two electronic cards, the first controls the speed electronically and the second card reduces the motor vibrations by means of electrical adjustment of the phase of the motor itself.

The Gabriel Arm is made in Modena, Italy in the same factory where they construct precision parts in highly technical alloys for Ferrari. The arm is a very sophisticated achievement of which we are very proud. The Gabriel turntable and arm require absolutely no antiskating and in fact have no provisions for it. The turntable system is composed of three parts - the table and base for one to four arms; the 13-inch arm; and the cartridge. The Gabriel frame consists of two cone sections created by overlapping bronze with aluminium. These sections are joined by an aluminum rod. The first cone supports the turntable bearing, the second the arm and its mount. The assembled unit is quite tall and heavy: over 30 kilos. In terms of appearance, this is one of those analog monuments which catches everyone's eye the first time they see it."

Digital Drops » Blog Archive » Edifier E3350: Caixas de Som Multimídia com Subwoofer e Design Premiado na CES: "O botão de controle auxiliar é o toque de classe, simplesmente sensacional, e ainda por cima tem outras utilidades, porque esconde a saída para fones de ouvido e a entrada para microfone de 3.5mm. Você liga e desliga o E3350 em cima do subwoofer, e ajusta os graves em um botão na lateral. Enquanto está ligado, o topo do subwoofer e o botão de controle ficam acesos, dando um efeito visual interessante no escuro."

Clamshell Mouse: A Concept You Wanna See? - Gizmo Watch: "We’ve seen the Arc Mouse from Microsoft, but is there anything that can be made anywhere near to the mesmerizing creation from the big-daddy? Perhaps it may be too much to ask from an individual designer, but to churn that which isn’t obvious is what the designers live for, and this clamshell mouse is a perfect underling statement to hold the case affirmative"

Zikmu: Phillipe Starck Zikmu Speakers Belong in the Living Rooms of Those With Inscrutable Accents


Zikmu: Phillipe Starck Zikmu Speakers Belong in the Living Rooms of Those With Inscrutable Accents: "On some level, I know that these minimalistic wireless speakers by Phillipe Starck are classy works of art. But when I look at them, all I can think about is Nuni and Nooni Schoener.
Zikmu, a collaboration between speaker company Parrot and noted super designer Phillipe Starck, is a set of 2.5 feet tall speakers that use Bluetooth to communicate with each other. They apparently broadcast sound 360° arround the room thanks to Parrot's NXT technology, which uses an extra-flat mebrane to create small-scale vibrations across the speakers' entire surface."

Sony Sountina $10,000 Functional Glass Speaker | Elite Choice








Sony Sountina $10,000 Functional Glass Speaker Elite Choice: "Respecting huge conference rooms and halls, Sony’s tubular non-directional speaker (NSA-PF1) was just a concept until a year ago and now is on the verge to touch reality by 20 June. This sci-fi looking 6-foot glass speaker looks like any ordinary transparent organic glass tube that vibrates and inflates sound to 360 degrees. Maintaining a frequency response of 50Hz – 20,000Hz, the speaker features an input line, coaxial, optical, subwoofer (13cm), a medium speaker (7cm), and a 3-foot tweeter breeding purple shade made of organic glass.
Retailed at an anticipated price of $10,000; the speaker measures 325×1845x325mm and weighs 12.5kg and assures sound quality as well.
Interesting insight in to the would-be speakers:"

However, if you go past 200 km/h or so, the computer takes control and you’ll be back to playing Halo 5 while driving or whatever game will be a hit in the remote future."
