Ukukhumbula Omunye Wabalobi Bomsindo Abaphikisana Nabo Bonke Isikhathi
Umfundi obizwa namhlanje ukuthi axoxe ngeMikhakha Yokulinganisa I-CEA-2010 I-Subwoofer Yokulinganisa (Yebo, abafundi bangibiza ngeSonto ukuba ngikhulume ngezinto ezifana ne-subwoofer measurement) futhi banginika izindaba ezibuhlungu ukuthi uTom Nousaine, umlobi ozwakalayo nomlobi owaziwayo ngokubhala kwakhe ezincwadini ezinjenge- Audio , Ukubuyekezwa kwe-Stereo , Umsindo & Umbono , I-$ eable $ ound ne -Audio Critic, idlule ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ezedlule eminyakeni engama-69 ubudala.
Ngangikujabulela izinto eziningi ngoTom. Ngombono wami, wayengomunye wabalobi abalalelwayo abanomdlandla kanye nomdlandla wokuthatha amaphrojekthi amakhulu, amakhono, njengokuhlola okuyimpumputhe kwezikhulumi kanye nama-subwoofers, nokuzakhela "i-subwoofer" eyinhloko nge-intshi eyisishiyagalombili abashayeli. Wayengomunye wabambalwa abazimisele ukubeka imibono engathandeki kakhulu, njengokukholelwa kwakhe ukuthi ama-electronic alalelwayo enza umehluko omncane ekuzweni kwesistimu, futhi lezo zingcingo aziboni nhlobo. Phakathi kwezintatheli, wayengomunye wabasebenzi abanokuhlangenwe nakho nabahlakaniphile bezilinganiso zesiphakamiso. Wayenenhlanhla encane ekulinganisweni kwamagesi, wonke ahlawulwe ephaketheni lakhe, engahlinzekiwe omagazini ayesebenzele. (Ngakho wangitshela okungenani.)
Okubaluleke nakakhulu, wayengumlobi wezokuqala, ngombono wami, ukuba enze izilinganiso ezinengqondo futhi ezinamandla ze-subwoofers, ngoba wayenjalo, owokuqala ukuqaphela ukuthi ukukhishwa kwe-subwoofer kubalulekile okungenani, futhi mhlawumbe ngaphezulu, kunalokho impendulo yayo yokuvama. Wayengumlobi wezokuqala wokulalelwayo, olwazini lwami, ukuqaphela ukubaluleka kokusebenzisa ama-subwoofers amaningi ukuze abhebhethekise imiphumela yekamelo lokubamba iqhaza.
Konke okwashiwo, kwakungcono kakhulu ukuthi uTom wangibheka mina nabanye abaningi abalobi bezomsindo - ukuba babe yisitha. UTom wathatha izilinganiso zesiphakamiso ku- Stereo Review ngenkathi uJulian Hirsch engumhlalaphansi ehlala emhlalaphansi, futhi waqhubeka nendima lapho iStereo Review ibhekene ne- Sound & Vision . Ngaphumelela uTom njengomlingani wesiphakamiso sikaS & V ngenkathi eshiya umagazini ngoba wayezwa ukuthi kunezihloko eziningi - ezimbalwa ezibhaliwe ngami - ezenza iphuzu elithile lezesayensi, elingaphansi kwesayensi kunalokho ayekukhethayo.
Abathandekayo basekhaya basekhaya babamba uNewsaine ngomsebenzi wakhe wokuhlakulela phansi, kanye nethalenta lakhe lokuchaza izindlela zakhe kanye nemiphumela yesiNgisi esicacile, enobungane.
Kodwa ama-audiophile - okungukuthi, abathandekayo emiphakathini yendabuko, emizila emibili yesiteshi - bamlahla, futhi ngaphandle kwesizathu. Uma ufunda ngezihloko zakhe eziningi zakudala, kulula ukuthola umqondo abe nawo kuwo. Kwangivame ukubonakala kimi ukuthi noma nini lapho umqondo ovelele mayelana nomsindo uvela ezincwadini ze-audiophile ezifana ne -Absolute Sound ne- Stereophile , uTom uzokhipha uhlolo lokulalela oluyimpumputhe ngenhloso yokukuphikisa. Ama-Audiophiles acabanga ukuthi isikhulumi simi senza umehluko? UTom "wabakhombisa ukuthi ayiphutha." I-Audiophiles ayithandi izikhulumi ze-THX zangempela? UTom "wabakhombisa ukuthi ayiphutha." Ngempela angizange ngifunde wonke umsebenzi wakhe, kodwa nakanjani angizange ngifunde uhlolo olwenzayo oluthola ama-audiophiles alungile nganoma yini.
Ngikhumbula ukuthi emva kokuba umlobi waseStereophile ambiza ngokuthi "weasel," I-Audio Critic - ngemvume yakhe, ngiyaqiniseka, futhi ngilindele ngesikhuthazo sakhe - esenza isidlaliso sakhe esisemthethweni, ngokusobala (futhi mhlawumbe uphumelele) uzama ukucasula imeseses yakhe.
Ngomdlandla njengoba uTom wayezama ukulungisa izinkolelo ze-audiophile, iminikelo yakhe embonini yomsindo ibaluleke kakhulu kunabo bonke kodwa abambalwa abalobi bomsindo engikwazi ukuwabiza. Abaningi abalobi bezomsindo kulezi zinsuku abanama-guts okungahambisani nezinkolelo ezidumile, noma ukuzama ukuthola okuthile okusha mayelana nokulalelwayo kunokumane nje baphathe ama-shibboleths. Ukuphikisana njengobudlelwane bami noTom, ngiyadabukisa ukuthi uhambe futhi ngifisa sengathi kukhona umuntu ongayithatha indawo yakhe.
Isithombe esingaphezulu ngiluthola kusuka kuwebhusayithi yakhe. Ivela ku-"subwoofer yokugcina" isihloko engikhulume ngenhla - isiqeshana esesabekayo, esenziwe ngesitayela esinobuciko esasikhuluma nge- Sound & Vision ngasekupheleni kwawo-1990. Nakuba isithombe se-cartoon sika "ososayensi oshayayo" sinobuhle obufana noTom, sithatha umoya wakhe, ukushayela nokuzimisela okungcono kunanoma yisiphi isithombe esingaba khona.
I-BTW, umndeni kaTom ucele ukuthi esikhundleni sezimbali, iminikelo enkumbulweni kaTom yenziwe kwi-VFW National Home for Children.
