Complete item notes
During the golden age of Cantopop in Hong Kong in the 1980s,Alan Tam's ("Principal") songs accompanied countless people through their formative years. This album,"Alan Tam's Audiophile Masterpiece UPM (24K CD)",is not an ordinary pop music album; it is a top-tier audiophile test disc specifically tailored for enthusiasts seeking the ultimate audio experience.
Quality Assurance of Japanese Pressing and UPM Technology Analysis This album adopts the highly acclaimed UPM (Ultimate Professional Mastering) technology,combined with a highly pure 24K gold reflective layer. The anti-oxidation capability of 24K gold discs far surpasses that of ordinary aluminum CDs,effectively reducing signal loss (jitter) during data retrieval,resulting in a warmer tone,richer details,and a wider dynamic range. Coupled with the strict pressing process of "Made in Japan",it ensures that every disc meets the stringent requirements of audiophile-grade sound systems. For music lovers seeking high-fidelity lossless (Hi-Fi Lossless) audio quality,this album perfectly reproduces the studio-level impact of classic hits like "Love in Late Autumn" and "Romantic Rain Night."
