Meet You Accidentally
A Test of TIMETER Micro Tube Amplifier/Headphone Amplifier

（一）偶遇“胆时达”，找回失落已久的感觉。
ⅠMeet TIMESTER Accidentally and Pick up the Lost Enjoyment
“虽是偶然的相遇，我却不能忘记你。你的心中可否已有我的一番深情意。”哗！不得了！随着CD唱盘徐徐转动，陈洁丽暖融融、甜蜜蜜、渗透着玫瑰花香的歌声轻柔地在笔者的耳膜中流淌着！伊人半带微笑的嘴型历历在目，含情脉脉的“眼波”随着歌声不断在传情达意。旁边许乐弹奏的钢琴更是晶莹瑰丽，刨光的琴音粒粒可闻地悬在半空，跌宕起伏的音阶和丰富谐波冲塞在整个“漆黑”的聆听空间！如梦似幻的连绵音感跨越音场每一道层次，神秘、恬静的气氛飘然而至！到歌曲结束的刹那，琴音虽然已慢慢地消散于空间中，但歌曲的余韵仍然残留在笔者脑海中和耳畔徘徊，那种一见钟情、令人心神荡漾的浪漫感觉不禁使人历久陶醉、浮想联翩……。
“Though we met accidentally, I cannot forget you. Do you understand my love in your heart?” Wow, how wonderful! As the CD rotates gently, Chen Jieli sings warmly, sweetly and rosily, with her smile and appealing eyes. And beside her, Xu Le plays the piano splendidly and sparklingly, with polished tune hanging in the air, up-and-down musical scale and rich harmonics filling completely in the dark acoustic space. Dreamy and extending melody spans every level of the field and here comes the mysterious and peaceful appeal. When the song comes to an end, the piano tone vanishes slowly but the sound still lingers in my brain and beside my ears. I am fascinated by this lovable, alluring and romantic appeal.
各位看到这里，不要误会笔者在写什么爱情故事或是评论某张唱片的音效，其实这是笔者用“胆时达”T-200U电子管耳放加上Grado歌德SR325耳机聆听《一水隔天涯》中的《偶然的相遇》所得出来的感受。《偶然的相遇》是笔者钟爱的歌曲，因为此歌能令人产生一个遐想的空间，含蓄的浪漫情怀使笔者怀念起那个曾经初次邂逅而久久不能忘怀的“她”。所以每逢试听新器材或者升级换机，笔者都会不期然地仔细倾听这首《偶然的相遇》，用自身感性的角度来判断器材的优劣。但久而久之，这歌已被笔者听得非常麻木，甚至接近“无动于衷”的地步。想不到“偶遇”这部“胆时达”T-200U耳机放大器（以下简称“胆时达”）后，这部“胆耳放”能够将笔者失落已久的爱情感觉重新找了回来！由此可见，优秀的耳机系统往往会将发烧友引向另一种“别有洞天”的重播新境界，有时甚至会把许多高级的喇叭系统都比下去，不容忽视。
You may take the mistake that I am writing a love story or a comment on the sound effect of a CD. But actually I am delineating my emotion when I was listening to the song Meet You Accidentally with TIMESTER T-200U tube amplifier added with Grado SR325 earphone. I favor Meet You Accidentally, for the song is so imaginative and romantic that it makes me miss the girl I fell in love with at the first sight. Therefore, I usually take the song accidentally for testing a new apparatus or upgrading and judge the quality of the apparatus emotionally. However, I have gotten uninterested in the song gradually and nearly could no longer be moved by it. Well, the TIMERSTER T-200U headphone amplifier (short for TIMESTER) recalls the affection for me again. Thus, a quality earphone system can lead you to a supreme territory and can even defeat quite a few top-class speaker systems.
（二）集多功能于一体。
对于笔者来说，与“胆时达”确实是萍水相逢，对其毫无认识。但这又有何要紧，只要是靓声高品质的产品就值得向大家推介。根据资料所得，“胆时达”来自现时中国的“胆机革命根据地”-珠海。由于几个优秀的国际胆机名牌如“斯巴克”、“科宝”都产自珠海，因此笔者在未听“胆时达”T200U时已对其投以信心的一票。亦由于“胆时达”T200U耳放是主要出口国外的制品，因此“胆时达”的造工与制作都较一般国产货精细。银白色的“外衣”笼罩整个版面和机壳，透出丝丝的高贵和典雅。从表面上看，“胆时达”的设计也非常简单，机芯部分是变压器再配以一对6N3作前置和一对EL84真空管作后级输出。值得一提的是，厂方特地为发烧友提供了两对分别产自俄罗斯和南斯拉夫的EL84作为“校声”之用。来自俄罗斯的EL84音色较趋向于准确和中性，而南斯拉夫的那一对则是较为甜美和通透，各有优势。发烧友可根据自己的喜好来调校音色，尽享“换胆”的乐趣。
2. Multifunction
I just met TIMERSTER by change and of course knew nearly nothing about it, but that does not matter. I am happy to recommend the quality product to you. As the data shows, TIMESTER comes from Zhuhai, the revolutionary base of tube amplifiers in China. Since several outstanding international tube amplifier brands like SPARK and KEBAO are also from Zhuhai, I am confident in TIMESTER T- 200U before I heard of it. TIMESTER T200U headphone amplifiers are for export, so TIMESTER is better than ordinary domestic products in work and production. The silvery white coat covers the entire surface and shell and overflows nobleness and elegance. The appearance of TIMESTER is designed simply, but the core composes of a transformer and a pair of 6N3 as the front setting and a pair of EL84 vacuum tubes for back output. Remarkably, the supplier offers two pairs of El84 from Russia and Yugoslav respectively for fans. El84from Russia is exact and moderate, while the pair from Yugoslav is sweet and thorough. You may adjust the tone color according to your inclination and enjoy the fun from it.
此外，除了前端板面上的耳放输出外，机身后面还带有接喇叭的6Wx2的胆功率输出，专门推动高效率的微型扬声器系统。更令人意外的是，T-200U耳放还备有一个内置16BIT的解码和USB插口！据“胆时达”声称，用家可以通过USB连线接到计算机中，用T-200U作解码和放大，可以令从网上下载的、为人诟病的MP3和WAV等声音文件具有浓厚的胆味，变得甜美、耐听云云。如此看来，“胆时达”不仅是高级发烧耳机放大器，而且还是现时最IN、最时尚的网上娱乐多媒体中心！五、六十年代真空管的“低科技”竟然能与现时代表“高科技”的网络数码MP3扯上关系，大家认为是不是很特别呢？
Furthermore, besides the headphone amplifier output in the front panel, a 6Wx2 amplifier power output connected with loudspeakers is equipped in the back to promote high-efficient micro speaker system especially. Unexpectedly, T-200U is matched with a built-in 16BIT decode and USB interface. According to TIMESTER, users can connect the body with a computer with a USB cable and decode and amplify with T-200U to make MP3 and WAV sound source downloaded sweeter, more mellow and lovable. In this respect, TIMESTER is not only a top headphone amplifier but the most in and fashion online entertainment multimedia center. The low-tech vacuum tube of 1950s or 1960s can establish a relationship with modern network digital MP3. That’s really wonderful!
（三）馥郁芳醇、一听触电。
话说笔者在两年前购入美产歌德SR325耳机，此机乃是歌德Prestige系列最高型号，具备一定级数。初时取其音色中性、清晰通透和音场宽阔等优点，但后来才发现SR325是一副“难服侍”的耳机。打个比喻说，SR325耳机就象PMC喇叭一样，是“监听风格”非常强烈且“毫无修饰”的品种，她的声音表现完全取决于音源与耳放的素质。如果用一般的晶体管耳放推动，稍有差池，声音就会变得比较“干”和“燥”，人声和提琴的感情表达得比较理性和呆板；如果用DICSMAN来听更是数码声四溢，难以入耳。有发烧友认为歌德耳机只是适合听流行歌，古典不宜，劝诱笔者将其出让、另觅新欢。正当踌躇之际，与“胆时达”T200U耳放的不期而遇简直就使笔者的SR325来了个翻天覆地的变化！原来电子管的温暖、甜美、丰满的特征正好“中和”了SR325纤秀、着重线条感的天性。因而在“胆时达”耳放的驱动下，SR325耳机立刻呈现出“前所未闻”的新局面。首先发现声音变得非常和暖、高密度，而且大提琴和鼓声的形态饱满、坚实，音乐细节铺天盖地。最重要是分析力明显加强，除了是乐器分隔度、空间感拉得更开阔外，歌手与乐器的感情运用与阴阳变化也无所遁形，韵味与感染力油然而生。
3. Mellow and fascinating sound
I bought an American Grado SR325 headphone two years ago, which was the top mode of Prestige series and held some scale step. I favored its advantages including moderate tune, clear and thorough sound and broad field, but then found that SR325 was agonizing to me. For example, SR325headphone, like a PMC speaker, is strong in monitoring and undecorated in appearance and its sound rests on the quality of sound source and headphone amplifier. If being promoted with a common transistor headphone amplifier, the sound might become dry. Voice and violin’s sound are expressed in a reasonable and stiff way and are stinging with a DISCMAN. Some fans believed that Grado headphone was just suitable for popular but classical music and suggested me to abandon it. At the very moment, TIMSTER T200U headphone amplifier came accidentally and upgraded my SR325 completely, for warm, sweet and round transistor matches exactly the pretty and streamline SR325 essentially. Promoted by TIMESTER headphone amplifier, SR325 headphone has turned into an unprecedented, new outlook! First I found the sound became warmer and more intense and the sound of cello and drum is full, stable and detailed. More importantly, the resolution is strengthened evidently and the degree of division and sense of space of musical instruments are broadened. Furthermore, the emotion application and shade change of the singer and musical instruments are integrated and create more appeal.
笔者尤其喜欢用南斯拉夫出产的EL84来配搭SR325，皆因该真空管的表现最为全面，除了在保留透明的清晰度与无限细节外，所发出馥郁芳醇的甜美度更有使人“一听触电”的万股毒力！虽然明知这种充满“糖份”的效果是一种音染和人工修饰，但奇就奇在“胆时达”将这份味精调理得清甜爽口、不油不腻，使笔者心甘情愿地收起那尚余些微的挑剔。试听信昌《名琴四季》（Gala Stradivarius Concert）, 四把极品小提琴发出丝绒一般的光泽与质感，琴腔板的共鸣与木头味芬芳扑鼻。以往“干”和“飙”的感觉荡然无存，换来是更为稳定的舞台感和更厚润的音像。而小提琴拉到高处时所发出胆味盎然的泛音与柔软度亦是“胆时达”最讨人欢心的“杀手锏”。总而言之，SR325耳机与“胆时达”完全就是互补长短、缺一不可的天仙配。所以笔者在此多谢“胆时达”挽救了冷落多时的SR325，使其焕发出浪漫感性的迷人风采。
I especially favor EL84 from Yugoslav to match SR325, for the performance of vacuum tube is given full play. Besides transparent definition and infinite detail, the melody is alluringly sweet. Though I know that the sweetness comes from sound balance and artificial decoration, marvelously TIMESTER manages to create so sweet, smooth and fresh melody, which persuades me to abandon a minimum of nitpicker. In the Gala Stradivarius Concert, four superior violins give out velvety luster and quality, with the resonance of cavities and aroma of wood. Original dryness and sting are replaced by steadiness and mellowness. When the violin comes to the prime time, TIMESTER promises favorable overtone and softness. In a word, SR325 headphone and TIMERSTER is a perfect match. Hereby, I appreciate that TIMERSTER has saved my long-disfavored SR325 and made it so romantic and appealing.
在音响圈内，资深发烧友都有这样一个共识：就是二千元耳机的表现往往顶得上二万多元的喇叭。靓声的耳机就如同高级的喇叭，同样需要高素质的放大器来伺候。如果阁下拥有自认为品质超卓的耳机，而又有缘偶遇“胆时达”的话，千万不要实试。否则，只售千余元的“胆时达”极有可能随时令您既心动又行动。
In the acoustic circles, senior acoustic fans have come to a conclusion that a headphone valued in RMB 2,000 Yuan always equals a loudspeaker of over RMB 20,000 Yuan in performance. Sound headphone also requires a quality amplifier just like a top-grade loudspeaker. If you hold a quality headphone, TIMERSTER sold only more than RMB 1,000 Yuan is a superior alternative for you to match it.
