《東洋作家村上春樹的音響系統,三之一》
東洋作家村上春樹1949年生,是浸淫於美國五六o年代流行音樂中成長的愛樂人.
說他愛樂成痴,大概沒人有異議,畢竟他寫的有關音樂的文章,數量絕不少於他的小說.
 
愛看他談旅行及聆樂的散文(尤其聆樂品味與他很貼近),剛好東洋雜誌SWITCH 37期有一篇《村上春樹音響室》的專文.村上談自己的音樂與音響觀,姑且就錄此一敘,同為音樂與音響迷有頗多堪值借鑒處:
 
《聽爵士樂時用JBL4530,古典樂,用TANNOY BERKERLY》
 
村上聽爵士樂時用JBL4530揚聲器,這是他在東京經營爵士樂咖啡館CAT PETER CAFE時的營業喇叭,多年來獨沽一味,從沒換過.
 
聽古典樂, 他會用TANNOY BERKERLY同軸喇叭,為配合此叭高效率特性及圓潤聲音,他加買了OCTAVE V40SE管機.
 
(他自承因網路找書方便,已多年不買書了,CD也沒興趣多買,但黑膠是必買品,其實村上國外旅行的至樂之一便是買黑膠,出國常把隨行的妻子撇在一邊,自顧自去黑膠店尋寶,目前藏量已破萬張.)
 
唱盤:Thorens TD520, LUXMAN PD171A(都是皮帶驅動盤)
 
擴大機:Accuphase E407晶體綜合擴大機, OCTAVE V40SE管機
 
音響:BL 4530 背負載號角喇叭 
低音Woofer - D130
中音號角Midrange - 2440+HL89
高音Tweeter - 2420, 
 
TANNOY Berkerley同軸喇叭
 
CD機:marantz SA11S3
 
村上說:我每天都在這個房間寫作.需要音樂來調劑.
就某方面來說,我算蠻在意音響是否合我意,若音響不好,音樂再好,我也不聽.
 
總之, 我的系統不在意他人評價,我自己聽了高興就好.我向來不會邀請友朋炫耀我家系統有多棒;所以,很放鬆."
 
對自己音響的評語:這就是我愛的聲音, 所以器材經年不換.而好聲, 如同好文, 沒特定的標準.合你的就是最好. 
 
每人對好聲的定義都不同,好的寫作也一樣.重要的是,找出什麼對我來說很好... 但相當困難... 換句話說,尋好聲的歷程宛如建立人生觀."
 
《村上春樹的音響系統,三之二,村上文學中的音樂,由CASA特刊" A ROOM WITH SOUND"談起》
在村上春樹世界登場的人物都極其愛好音樂,書頁中不時樂舞悠揚.
 
比如,札幌的“海豚賓館”電梯中傳來波爾瑪麗亞“LOVE IS BLUE”,繼而變成PERCY FAITH樂團風靡一時的“a summer place”。突然一切都靜止了,而“我”也就進入了“羊男”所存在的异次元世界。
 
在《發條鳥年代記》中,“我”一邊煮著通心麵,一邊吹著口哨哼著“鵲賊”序曲時,意外地接到命中註定的女子打來的電話。
 
而長篇小說IQ84的開頭:「計程車的收音機,正播放著FM電台的古典音樂節目。曲子是楊納切克作曲的小交響曲《SINFONIETTA》。在被捲入塞車陣的計程車裡聽這音樂實在很難說適合。
司機看來也沒有特別熱心地在聽那音樂的樣子。中年司機,簡直像站在船頭觀察不詳海潮浪勢的老練漁夫那樣,只能閉口眺望著前方整排不斷地汽車行列。青豆深深靠在后座,輕輕閉上眼睛聽著音樂。」
 
更是以古典音樂切題,一啟幕就營造了樂符飄揚/詩意悠然的畫面...
 
以主角愛聽的音樂開端,並以之為線索貫穿全文的世界觀,在村上春樹看來,再平常不過了;對他而言,音樂早已深入骨髓,完全融入自己生活與靈魂。
 
村上春樹自中學開始迷戀爵士樂,接著去爵士酒吧打工、唱片行工作、開自己的爵士樂酒吧,再到走上文學道路,可說是在音樂飛舞中激發靈感,創作出一部部風靡世界的作品。
 
音樂與村上作品隨伴左右,也是引導作品劇情與主人公的心路歷程的關鍵因素。
 
且來聽聽村上在CASA特刊怎麼談論他的音樂音響觀:
 
「文章就像音樂,也可以通過字詞、語句、段落、輕硬與輕重、均衡與不均衡、標點符號及語調的組合營造出節奏感。」
 
如此熱愛音樂的文學大咖,究竟有哪些不為人知的音樂故事?村上最近在casa談了許多他與心愛音樂與唱片軟體相遇的趣事。
(註:行家都說村上小說或許頗有爭議,但他的散文著實好看,尤其若讀者也很愛音樂,那更是敲中心坎去了;觀下文村上談他上天下地找黑膠的經驗,真是標準發燒友一咖,同好必有共鳴)
 
【唱片收集癖】
 
「從以前開始我就有收集的癖好。看電影一定要買光碟,想看的話就要馬上去買一張。但意外的是,對書本我倒沒有收集癖。看完書後就可以丟在一邊了,對初版書籍也沒什麼興趣。
以前因為工作可能會用到還會把書留下來,現在因為在亞馬遜之類的網站能馬上買到,連這個必要也沒有了。」
「但是,黑膠唱片的話就不一樣了。雖然我也會在YouTube上聽音樂、買買CD什麼的,可以的話還是會儘量收集唱片版本,古典音樂也會儘量買原版。對於唱片,有著非常嚴重的收集癖。」
(註:村上書房照上的黑膠總量已超出一萬張,看他這種熱勁,遲早房間不夠放)
 
【最喜歡的唱片店】
 
「每次去美國書店『Barnes & Noble』的時候,會發現CD區漸漸縮小,唱片區反而越變越大,這一點我也覺得很驚訝。我經常在國外大量買入黑膠唱片,遇到流失的版本也確實沒有辦法。
外國的收藏家們就非常了解我這種心情。」
 
 若非得選一張自己最愛的"荒島"唱片,村上選了Billie Holiday的《I Can't Get Started》
 
「我現在最喜歡買爵士樂唱片的地方,是斯德哥爾摩。那裡有兩家喜歡的店,每間都很大,要全部看完得用三天時間。
即使如此,我還是用了整整三天在裡面淘寶,完全把妻子忘在了腦後。那時候她好像也去買古董了(笑)。
就這樣,到了第三天的時候,店主突然說:『過來過來!想看點好東西嗎?』『想看!』他帶我到了裡面的房間,平常店主似乎在這裡居住,還有電爐之類可以搞定吃飯的東西。
在那旁邊,就是一座藏滿寶物的唱片架——這可是不花上三天就看不到的架子。店主雖然想賣給我,但都沒標註價格,我也一個個問了下來。」
 
「北歐有很多不錯的唱片行,一般集中在斯德哥爾摩,其次是哥本哈根。奧斯陸稍顯遜色,成熟度還不夠。芬蘭的爵士角落也很有趣,就算我是因為工作旅行到了那裡,也會確保有足夠的空閒時間去逛逛。以前還會查好黃頁,把地圖列印出來,到租賃中心借一輛自行車到處轉;最近開始用谷歌地圖,變得輕鬆很多。」
 
關於唱片,有意思的經歷
 
「如今我已經逛過世界上的許多家唱片店,最近在巴黎和倫敦沒碰到什麼大的店,在紐約倒是有不錯的地方。波士頓也很棒。
當時在波士頓住的時候,還有十幾家二手唱片店,現在只剩5、6家了。當時我每周都要把每家唱片店都逛個遍,連在哪裡停車都仔細記好,制定了詳細路線出來。每家店的樣子都記得很深刻。
前不久回波士頓再去的時候,被店裡的人認出『你不是那個村上先生嗎?』我回答,『我很早以前開始不就一直來嗎。』店長說:『知道倒是知道,但並不認識你呀。早說就便宜點賣給你了。』」
 
「美國的二手唱片店經常有很多奇怪的人,比如有家店的3個店員會聚在一起,互相問答音樂冷知識,有時候我也會舉手搶答一下。簡直就跟《失戀排行榜》那部電影一樣。」
 
「說到有意思的店,我去維也納的時候,維也納愛樂樂團的經歷也是唱片狂熱分子。我問他哪裡有好唱片行,『有倒是有,很遠哦,』他回答。
『沒關係,反正有借車。』根據他的說法,這家店在沿著多瑙河一直走的一條小街上。我半信半疑地去了那裡,發現是家並不大的小唱片店。
本來想看看就走了,但越看越迷失在唱片的海洋里——裡面全是唱片架,而且全是精品。
我在這個『魔窟』里逛了整整一周,買了很多張爵士唱片,古典音樂更是數不盡數,到後來因為沒想過怎麼搬運,手裡都拿不動了。
這是我見過的最厲害的二手唱片店,這種地方只有發燒友才能找到。」

Turntable Belt Length
If you are unable to find your system or manufacturer listed below check out the overall length of the belt fitted and you should be able to find the belt you require. Select the nearest length, if you are unable to find the exact length (as belts stretch slightly with use and age) choose the nearest shorter length. All belt sizes given are approximate and may vary.
To check drive belt length for most Japanese type full platter decks remove mat and lift platter off centre spindle (remove circlip if fitted), turn platter over and measure the circumference of the drive hub and deduct 5-10mm to determine correct length and tension. Fit the new belt onto the drive hub and replace the platter then hook the belt over the drive pulley through the inspection hole in the platter before replacing the mat. The drive hub circumference can also be calculated by its diameter D using the equation D x 3.142 (Pi).

The process for split platter transcription type decks is similar except in this case the outer section only needs to be lifted off and the measurement then taken around the drive hub and motor. The correct belt length can then be determined by deducting 5% of the measured dimension which generally equates to 20-30mm less than the measured dimension to ensure correct tension for the new belt.

1.Expert Stylus Repair (Wyndham Hodgson) are UK based and offer complete rebuilds. Contrary to what ive read the lead times aren't too lengthy, I don't think I've waited more than 45-60 days from mailing my cart to the UK and having it back in the US of A. 

These are the guys to send your Linn Troika to, classic Supex (Koetsu) and literally anything other cart retippers/rebuilders wont touch. No web presence, email only: nfo@expertstylus.co.uk


Northwest Analogue are UK based and offer extensive rebuild services including rewinding coils, etc. I have not used them but heard one of their rebuilt Koetsus and it was excellent, the craftsmanship looked top-notch too.

Andy Kim aka The Needle Clinic. Andy has repaired a Koetsu Rosewood (missing cantilever) and Linn Karma for me. Turnaround was quick and the price fair, both carts went on to new owners and are still running strong.

《奈良 奈良公園》

元明天皇(707-715)即位後,在大和北部的奈良仿唐朝長安營造平城京,和銅3年(西元710年),從藤原京遷都至此,從此日本進入奈良時代。
後來國都又移至長岡京,所以平城京建都史僅短暫八十四年,但遺澤淵遠流長,尤其飛鳥時代諸名寺皆遷移於此,而奈良公園環圍更畢集東大寺、興福寺等南都七大寺與春日大社等社寺佛閣。
奈良公園作為諸名所的前緣因此藉以發展,蔚成遊山玩水的名勝。

如今的奈良公園是於明治13年統整成今日模樣,但範圍可不僅僅是東大寺前那塊鹿群出入/觀光客穿梭往還的草坡公園,而是囊括諸多貴重歷史文化遺產的東大寺、興福寺、春日大社、國立博物館、正倉院等建築,有山有水兼有遼闊綠地草原.廣達660公頃的史蹟園區。
可說是文化與自然完美調和/獨一無二的歷史公園。

而早在萬葉集誕生的千餘年前,奈良公園內春日野、春日山的優美景緻就是宮廷人士絕佳的逍遙勝地,詩歌吟詠/名士傳唱,萬葉集便此收入不少和歌秀作,涵及奈良公園地名的和歌多達86首。
1.東大寺的鐘 2.春日野的鹿 3.南圓堂的藤 4.猿澤池的月 5.佐保川的螢 6.雲井阪的雨 7.轟橋的旅人(行人) 8.若草山的雪,就此成時人歌詠的奈良公園八大美景。

近代呢?從明治到大正、昭和時期,諸多文人墨客造訪、住在奈良,留下許多品鑑奈良公園景觀的記載。這其中自以大文豪谷崎潤一郎及志賀直哉最著稱(谷崎曾短居,志賀則營長年住所於此,谷崎的細雪,志賀的暗夜行路剛好也是我的最愛,不免特誌一筆)。

志賀這麼說:
「我認為奈良公園是日本最美的公園。.....不經意間便有一種自然的雄壯,未曾被常見的庭院盆景式審美所扭曲。尤其是沒有小家子氣的假山以及沒有刻意拉來擺放的岩石之類東西,讓人十分舒服。當然,根本不需要那些東西。自然本身已經將丘陵山嶽安排成為背景,與前景地形互相形成優雅的結構。」
「樹木並不密集,恰如其分地形成一個美麗的公園;山麓之下無處不在,又與未經任何刀斧加工的莊嚴原始密林相連。」

他在八十年前的這段描述,於二十一世紀的今天依然成立,奈良公園之最棒處就是完全沒絲毫的人造遊樂設施/俗不可耐的觀光建物;若是曾全境徹底繞過一遍,便知公園的設計便是以日本傳統美學"侘寂"為核心,將樸拙與空寂荒涼之美發揮得淋漓盡致...

總之,遊奈良公園,除興福寺 東大寺 春日大社 奈良博物館幾個必觀景之外,還可往二月堂 正倉院等更深入處探幽,尤其在若草山的山腰環圍多繞幾回,賞人文兼沐浴山郊之美(若有春櫻秋楓陪襯頗好,能於草原懶懶躺上幾小時更佳),真乃心緒滌清之旅。

《京都 洛北 曼殊院》
去了兩次洛北的曼殊院.一次是去參觀修學院離宮後,由離宮旁的田道往南走,像郊遊般一路暢享田園風光;這一帶極其空曠,真的很像台灣南部的小鄉村,走著走著心情一路飛揚幾乎忘了是在京都了...
不過須腳力健,這一走至少須四十分鐘.

另一次,則是由京都站坐公車北上,在川端通的曼殊院道站下車,再右轉拐入,沿途則可由詩仙堂/圓光寺一路看下去,路程尾端就是曼殊院了.台客沒日人的腳程雄健,這路走來漫長,三十分至少要.

話說京都公車好像故意要遊客走路,這要在台灣,一定會順應民意多繞車程,讓遊客直抵門口了;(有人就說東洋人之所以長壽大概是常走路,這我倒信,每每看梅田站/新宿站上下班時那如蝗蟲掃境的急行大軍,不免感佩..
日人的幹勁畢顯於此)

曼殊院是洛北一帶首屈一指的名刹,和毘沙門堂、三千院、青蓮院、妙法院、並稱天台宗五大門跡,但以觀景的角度而論,除了寺內有名匠小堀遠州營造的一座的枯山水庭外,寺景其實不甚精彩.
 
院外景緻(門跡前的楓林道及與對面鷺森神社相夾的野楓景)倒遠比院內精彩多多..

(曼殊院道沿路名所不少,依序如詩仙堂 金福寺 一乘寺 圓光寺 及曼殊院,但依我經驗,非看不可的絕景我首推圓光寺,可把時間全攤在此,其餘酌情分配)

;曼殊院甚至無須入院,院外景緻(門跡前的楓林道及與對面鷺森神社相夾的野楓景)遠比院內精彩.
