On the publication of "Audio Accessory No. 189"

For this summer, the latest issue "Audio Accessory No. 189" has finally been released. First of all, jazz and Latin singer MAYA appears on the special appendix CD of this issue. We are bringing you a collaborative project with the insulator brand KaNaDe. The all-out special feature is titled "What to Do with Digital Players," and features a comparison of domestic middle-class SACD players and an introduction to the latest network players. I'm here. In particular, I would like to draw your attention to Tadashi Yamanouchi's simultaneous comparison of six domestic SACD player models. The characteristics of each model are described separately, sometimes calmly and sometimes passionately. It is a report that we would like you to refer to. Of course, it is full of information on audio accessories and cables to maximize the capabilities of your favorite equipment. In the special feature on "selling speaker cables for sale", the rising star of the audio critic world, Hiroyo Sonoda, appears. It brings out the individuality of the 30 models. "Power supply project 2023" considers the route from the wall outlet to the audio system. What power path does an audio critic's home listening room build? Please refer to it. We hope that you will enjoy your summer audio life with this one book, including information on excellent audio-grade recordings. (Editorial staff)

-Special appendix CD commentary
Maya meets KaNaDe
Making an album that sticks to sound and encountering insulators
Masayoshi Hayashi

The appendix CD of this issue is a sampler of jazz and Latin singer MAYA. MAYA who launched her own label "AMBIVALENCE" in 2020. I continue to self-produce works that focus on sound, and I use a lot of consumer audio accessories when recording. Under such circumstances, I have been using the KaNaDe insulator, which is familiar to this magazine, especially in recent years. Therefore, this appendix CD contains one song each from "Billie" and "Latina" recorded using this KaNaDe insulator, and two other past MAYA sound sources. In the magazine, we are delivering an interview article with Mr. MAYA and Mr. Mitsuru Kobayashi, the developer of the KaNaDe insulator. Please enjoy it with the actual sound source.
