michaelgreen, I found that piece about harvesting wood... "The SS-AR2’s baffle board is made from laminated instrument grade maple, harvested on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido in November, when the grain is tightest."http://www.sonypremiumhome.com/ar-speakers/SS-AR2.php I think there was a similar statement about headphones 20-30 years ago which included wet/dry season references, but cannot find it now. |
michaelgreen, For whatever it is worth, as it is someone's review, although I really think promo material had similar statements... "This is due to the resonant properties and rigidity of the wood, as it was harvested during the winters in Japan when the trees contracted the most to rid themselves of excess moisture from sap. This tight wood pattern is evident when you closely view the cups, and the tightness maximizes the resonant properties of the Japanese elm."https://www.head-fi.org/showcase/sony-mdr-r10.12589/reviews |
