During today’s 即興 3-6pm tennis session with DTLK and Yu, I found that I can actually produce very powerful 1st serve without any error continously and even a few ace down the T, I had a very tight game with Yu 3:3 at the end, won many points with my serve. However, it’s really strange that from 3-5:15pm I almost couldn’t serve at all, then I am a totally different person after 5:15pm.

I finally figured out/gained something today, it is MY MIND not my skill that’s always dragging me backwards.   

只要集中和放鬆身體就可以打得好, simple as that, I felt good today.

記得中學的時候曾經對“回到未來”這套戲(共三集)曾經著迷過﹐尤其是那架穿越時空的有型跑車﹐去年更在香港老爺車展上一睹它迷人的風采。但直到最近才得知它叫Delorean DMC-12﹐是由一間愛爾蘭的公司(已倒閉)製造的八十年代經典。

這台車模是由Sun Star製作﹐打磨鋁合金的車身顏色很特別﹐就如真車一般有著磨沙的感覺﹐而且整體重量極之重手﹐完全不像是Sun Star的出品。

另外一台Bburago M Benz 300SL的白顏色很特別﹐加上車尾的紅色旅行皮箱令到它馬上成為我的必收之選﹐比最近Minichamps出的米黃色版本更加吸引和出色。

We’ve got a new friend Dave today, a very friendly Canadian fellow, who’s 6 4′ with huge build upper body and strength, too bad I could not match with his power, I think his serve is in 110mph+ range, today it’s definitely valuable for me to gain experience from a totally different playing style player. Hope Dave will join us regularly during M-F weekday’s single game as well.
話是話﹐今日個外國新朋友真係好鬼大隻(手臂重大隻過拿度)﹐加買佢D髮型﹐開始的時候﹐我還以為真係拿度大駕光臨添。

Last but not least, thank you White Sir again for teaching me how to let go with my mind and able to secure my 2nd serve.

Overall speaking, we all enjoyed today’s play, especially with exchanging opponents.

The gathering here is getting more international, so hopefully we will see Sharapova drop by next time.

認識它的朋友﹐自然不用多說也清楚此車的珍貴﹐全球限量500台的F1橙紅色舒密加版本的ENZO﹐今天好運氣竟然給我碰上了﹐雖然是散包﹐但價格十分之合理﹐幸好上星期沒用天價從eBay購入﹐要不就虧大了。

Yes﹗終于得到它了﹗

要享受到高層次的音色，一對高質素的喇叭當然少不了。JVC最新推出的EX-A15 DVD微型音響組合，特別在於內置K2專業音效重播技術（K2 Technology）之木製振膜單元，能把經壓縮處理後的失真信號，提升至接近原音之水平。

簡單來說，這個K2 Technology是JVC為專業錄音室研製的高階錄音技術，播放時可將CD之音質提升至DVD-Audio質素；MP3音樂提升至CD水平。配合EX-A15的Wood Cone木製單元揚聲器在聲音播放有更突出的表現，Wood Cone木製單元揚聲器經過多種步驟處理，最後切割成僅是0.28mm厚度之薄片才能安裝於揚聲器上，至於木料就選用了樺木作為原材料 。

EX-A15揚聲器箱體採用櫻桃木製造，是次更加入Anisotropic技術，這個技術將木片加建於木製振膜單元後方，令單元加速地發放出多角度的聲音擴散，加強音樂分析力而增加聲音的空間感。EX-A15獨創的高性能數字功率放大器採用混合反饋技術，使失真減少百分之十。另外為了提高木質振膜揚聲器的驅動能力，EX-A15喇叭振盆及防塵帽都統一使用樺木，至於喇叭則採用能減少磁性失真兼有4層聲圈的強磁電路釹磁鐵。

EX-A15其它功能包括：USB音響輸入端子，內置DVD影像兼容播放DVD-Audio/Video，DVD-RW/- R/+R/+RW，CD，SVCD/VCD，CD-R/RW，MPEG 4，MPEG 2，MP3/JPEG，數碼直接逐行掃描電路，10-bit/54MHz視頻D/A轉換器及192KHz/24-bit音頻D/A轉換器，杜比數碼/DTS解碼器及色差/光纖輸出功能，2 x 25W輸出功率的10cm低音揚聲器及2 x 25W輸出功率的2cm高音揚聲器。

Update: Sep-22-2011

近日入手国内行货版EX-A15，淘宝购入。听了一周，实在想象不出如此小巧的系统为何会有如此好的音质。昨日晚上把2台主机都拆开了，一看完全颠覆以往对迷你音箱的认识，几年前买过雅马哈的E700，也自己拆过，里面简直不能看，完全是绣花枕头一包草。

JVC A15的内部实在太厉害了，作为完全数码式放大器，能做到这样已经很用心了，当初雅马哈的E700也是数码放大器，这类放大器的特点是不会有大型变压器与大型电源滤波电容在里面，所以主机重量都较轻。

JVC A15 完全属于电路板反装形式设计，就是电路板底部朝上，正面电子元器件朝下，打开机箱很难看到内部电子元件，全部被反装电路板挡住了，这是我近来拆解的影音器材中最难拆的了。

以下是简述：

DVD机：共3块电路板，开关电源板侧装，DVD数码视频/解码电路板与模拟视频&数码/模拟音频电路板分离，其中最大一块面积的模拟视频&数码/模拟音频电路板是反向安装，并且电路为数/模分离设计。DVD机芯为白色顶盖准全封闭设计，直接安装在底部。HDMI控制芯片，中央处理芯片，杜比/DTS处理芯片均为松下制。

功放： 这个拆开后看傻眼了，密密麻麻太复杂了，电源部分用1.2t 钢板小盒子封住，完全看不到电源板。最让我傻眼的是数码放大电路板也同样用1.2t 钢板小盒子封住，这2个小盒子就直接安装在机器底部，散热就靠顶部的小盒子外壳和机箱底部的钢板散热，外表看来无铝制散热片。机箱顶部一大块反装线路板，这块是输入/输出和中央处理IC电路板，主芯片是松下制。音频处理部分有2颗大型Nichicon电容把守，反向安装，没看清数据。看到K2芯片了，很小的一块芯片。

我买这机器第一大目的就是要拿来拆的，当初的EX-A10我很好奇内部是怎么样的，但是找遍整个华语网络没有人发过拆解图片和解说，因为当时我把服役中的雅马哈E700拆了之后，立马对雅马哈音响设备从敬仰⇒转变为藐视，除了设计缺陷（DVD解码芯片直接在光头下面散热）

内部的所有电容都是使用广东某厂出品的国产电容，你说你徒有个美丽外表有啥用？（E700拆解2年曾发表在布鲁网上，已删。）JVC EX-A15，你、既然敢开价比前代机型A10贵二千大洋，你总得有个交代吧？贵在什麽地方总不能换张面孔（面板）糊弄我们吧？所以我就买了，一周后我拆了，拆了就要发图片传论坛的，想传却发现这个论坛有每日上传图片限制。

先看一下音源部分DVD播放机的内部照片。主电路由DVD解码电路板（正装）与模拟视频/数模音频处理电路板（反装）组成，解码板在反装电路板下面，从外面完全看不到，机器的一侧开关电源板（侧装）与模拟电路板密闭组成L型构造，从这一面是完全看不到内部的解码板的。另一侧可以探看到内部解码板，电路板做工十分优秀，解码板正面有2块IC，分别是HDMI控制芯片和DOLBY/DTS处理芯片。解码饭反面估计还有芯片，看不到。DVD机芯一半被反装电路板覆盖，机芯顶部白色顶盖完全密闭整个DVD机芯，中间马达转轴金属制成，做工极为精致。反装电路板面积极为庞大，反面电容等元器件密布，JVC大量运用模拟电路并使音频电路数/模分离来提升CD播放素质，用心良苦。

尝试了一件非常奥妙的事情，由于发现所有的连线都直接连在最顶层的反装电路板上（电源板输出连接，面板控制连接，机芯控制输出连接等），DVD视频解码板位于独立的最底层且只通过3排线连接在反装电路板上，拔去这些连线，使DVD解码板与整机断开，通电开机，发现机器仍可以正常启动，可以播放CD碟，但此时DVD碟无法播放，太奥妙了，也就是说，这台DVD讯源只要简单的拆去DVD解码板就变成了一台纯CD机，模拟音频和光纤音频输出也同样可用，因为这些接口都在反装线路板上的，DVD解码板只有个HDMI高清接口。

实在钦佩JVC对于这台机器的设计哲学，DVD与CD完全分离处理，那些对带有视频功能颇有微词的用户只要拆掉DVD解码板就可以成为纯CD机，而且从外观完全看不出，这块解码板位于机器内部正向安装，拆除非常容易。

接下来是功放部分，一打开机箱，扑面而来的是几乎覆盖整个机体面积的反装电路板，完全遮盖住了机箱内部，只能从侧面观察内部，这使得拍照非常困难，顺着电源线进入机箱的方向，看到整个电源板被一个金属钢板制成的盒子完全封闭住。

再转到另一边看机箱内部，发现整个放大电路部分也同样被金属盒子封闭住，一左一右的2个金属盒，完全看不到内部啊。反装电路板是输入输出和整个系统的控制电路板，反面插满了密密麻麻的电容等元器件和小型芯片，其中看到了JVC引以为豪的K2芯片，主控芯片是松下的，如此用料和设计，我想是有别于其他品牌的迷你组合的。

After playing with Luxilon Big Banger ACE TOUCH hybrid and GAMMA Professional Spin the other day, I almost still couldn’t believe what I am getting magically: SPIN and more SPIN and EVEN MORE SPIN!!! Besides, they are quite powerful, comfortable and controllable as well, as I thought poly is going to be very hard initilly.  The effect is much much bigger than adding lead like in the old days. It’s virtually like upgrading my old-school POG Oversize (all are Grip 3) to a previously never reached level.

So my first impression of the modern Hybrid and Poly strings is that they do help in some way definitely.

In additional, after discussed and recommended by another tennis pal, I’ve decided to change all the rest 3 strings on my POG Oversize (all are Grip 2) to something modern yesterday, so it really didn’t take me long to step into the famous Babolat Natural Gut cross Gamma TNT2 (ie, 2 days) and the popular Tecnifibre Black Code. Of course, I would preserve the old pal: Prince Topspin with Duraflex 15 Neo Green.

Let me give them a try in today afternoon’s classic rackets gathering to see what these batches will bring me.
