“认识校长已经接近20年了，从最初的对音响富有热情和好奇心的发烧友，音响网站论坛上的KOL，到后来专职做音响网站和自媒体，我一直认为他就是那种自带优势的音响媒体人：精通英语，具有国际化视野，永远都具有好奇心和责任感，勤勉敬业，并且乐于分享，而且特别难得的是，他还能尽可能地做到了客观中立，知无不言言无不尽。

知悉他最近即将开启新的事业，The HiFi News即将上线之时，我希望他能在这个新平台上团结更多的品牌和读者用户，以自己的专业知识和业务能力创建更多的可能性，为品牌方开拓更多展示的机会，为订阅者提供更多真实可信的内容，将清爽正气带到音响媒体行业，促进这个行业的正向循环。

我相信他有能力，有信心，也有勇气做到！”

《The HiFi News》作为一个由资深音响从业者策划的新媒体平台，展示出对高保真音响文化的深刻理解与专业追求。其以会员制为核心，结合权威内容、国际资源与互动机制，构建了品牌、代理与终端用户之间的高效沟通桥梁。多年来，声韵音响（AURALiC）与“校长”及 Steven Tam 两位先生保持着长期紧密的合作关系，彼此在品牌建设与市场拓展过程中共同成长，积累了深厚的信任与默契。我们深知两位在音响行业的丰富经验与专业洞察力，相信《The HiFi News》的创立，必将延续他们一贯的专业精神与前瞻视野，为 Hi-Fi 产业注入崭新动力，亦为广大音响爱好者提供值得信赖的学习平台与资讯来源。”

“多年前，校长还只是论坛里的“校长”，黄许杰也尚未创立艾音仕。那时几次深入的长聊，聊器材，也聊人，种下了今天同行共音的缘分。

后来，校长主持了艾音仕的 Wilson Audio Sasha 对比评测会，以深厚的音响知识功力，结合犀利又平实的表达，将顶级器材的质感与个性传递得恰到好处，让在场的聆听不止于耳，更触及了对声音表现的深刻理解。

这些年音响圈也开始跟上新媒体时代，各种内容泡沫横飞，但真正有见地的深度评论越发稀缺。The HiFi News 的出现，恰恰是在这个节点上，补上了这块被轻忽的空白。它既不是旧式纸媒的照搬，也不是社交平台流量逻辑的附庸，而是一次从内容深度、评论专业度，到圈层互动方式的全新尝试。

校长能携手 Steven Tam 创立 The HiFi News，我们艾音仕为其倍感欣喜。这是一个建立在专业判断力与长期实践基础上的平台，也是一次聚焦深度内容、强调与发烧友共同提升价值的崭新尝试。我们相信，这个平台将为音响行业带来新的启发与连结方式。

艾音仕当然也期待，未来能与 The HiFi News 有更多深入合作，在共同热爱的领域里，继续用声音对话、用热情共鸣，为每一位认真聆听的人，带去真实、有温度的音响专业内容。”

His ability to connect brands with the right audience and drive meaningful industry engagement has made him a respected voice in the market.

His new venture, The HiFi News, is an exciting evolution of his expertise—offering a premium media platform that delivers expert-driven insights, independent reviews, and targeted digital strategies.

“I would like to take a moment to recognize my friend Steven, who has been an incredible asset to the Global Hi-Fi industry. I knew Stephen during my tenure with Tannoy Hifi.

Steven has a deep understanding of audio technology and an unwavering passion for high-fidelity sound, which has always consistently impressed me. Stephen has on many occasions gone above and beyond to assist me, sharing insights and guidance that greatly enhanced my work. Steven’s unwavering support and knowledge of the Far Eastern Territory, allowed me to maximise many opportunities, that I wouldn’t have achieved myself.

Their collaborative spirit and dedication to excellence make them not just a great colleague, but also a true friend.

I wholeheartedly endorse Steven for anyone seeking expertise and support in the Hi-Fi world!”

“Hello, all the dear fellows in HiFi audio world, I'm happy to take an opportunity to share that I have experienced in the audio business field.

As the person who is in charge of overseas business, I have been working for 21 years since I joined the HiFi audio distribution company in the Korean market and started to work with Steven.

While we all (manufacturers and distributors and dealers in each territory) know how marketing is crucial and important even in the audio business but the actual following is quite rare. In the past, the most important marketing channel was 'print-out' like HiFi audio magazine (What HiFi and HiFi Choice), though it is still usable. However, In the internet-era, Key words marketing and online Ads over the powerful search engine like Naver in Korea and Google globally became popular. And more, nowadays, we are living in digital world and visuality has the power as the strong marketing tool so You-Tube video became the utmost marketing channel to approach the mass market.

Steven knew pretty well about how to see the audio market's change and manage the trendy digital marketing channels and he supported us digital-marketing-wise. Thanks to his great supports, we could use the digital marketing tools and it helped our growth.

We are now surrounded by the overflowing information but the most important thing is to know how to use it, instead of absorption of knowledge. Hence, the guide from Steven in the HiFi world could lead you to the audio world you would like to reach.”

Therefore, we do believe that he uses his talents and profession now to help Chinese audiophiles enjoy the beautiful world of high-end audio and make his “The Hi-Fi News” an invaluable asset for anyone seeking the best Hi-Fi experience. We sincerely wish a great success to your Chinese Hi-Fi media platform! “

The HiFi News 是一個嶄新的音響媒體概念，分享音響領域相關信息、數據與知識的系統化整理和分析，包括音響設備的技術參數、市場趨勢、消費者偏好、音響設計理念等的大數據，拉近音響品牌與玩家的距離，提供一個多方向交流、持續學習及實踐、發燒薪火相傳的園地。”

"I worked with Steven at Cyrus Audio where he managed the far eastern markets. I was constantly impressed by his social media work. He understood very well how customers in the far east engaged with various platforms and content and was able to build enormous following within a very short period. Having worked in the industry for years he has the right connections to help any brand get exposure in the right channels, this includes reviews, social media, internet platforms and printed media. I highly recommend Steven for any marketing needs you may have in the region."

在得知 Steven Tam 構思創建這個品牌和市場的交流平台，深信以他的知識和魄力，絕對會對 發燒音響市場有很大的推動力，令更多發燒友可以直接選擇到心水產品，從而組合出最理想的音響系統。”

“初识校长（Roger Cheung）是在多年前的“六台合并功放擂台赛”，他把枯燥的音响技术变成朴实的语言，让我留下深刻的印象。 后面又从每期必读的“立体声之友”到”人民的系列“  校长继续用他的“技术烟火气”，带更多普通人听懂好声音的价值。 

近期校长将迎来又一个富有挑战的新台阶，我代表AudioBastion会全力支持他的HiFi News平台，期待校长继续用他的“技术显微镜”和“说人话大法”组合拳，让高保真音响回归理性本质。让高保真音响不再需要仰望，而是听得懂的科学！”

“隐士音响还处在起步阶段时，校长就专程来到杭州，为我们做了很多期深度的采访，并为隐士的发展提出了非常多务实的看法和建议，给了我们很大的提携和支持，为此我特别感恩。之后隐士参加全球各地的展会时，我们也常常碰面，就像许久未见的老友那样，每次都很愉快。

喜闻校长创办新的Hifi News杂志，预祝一路长虹，旗开得胜！”

“由校长与Steven Tam联手创立的新音响媒体《The HiFi News》，不仅是专业人士主导的Hi-Fi知识殿堂，更是一场颠覆传统的「听觉革新运动」。可以预见新平台将以严谨技术剖析与深度器材评测为基底，搭建起品牌、代理商与发烧友的双向对话生态，让行业洞察与玩家需求无缝衔接。独特的「会员制媒体」模式颇具新意，除了常见的专属内容与闭门鉴赏活动外，两位老友天马行空的新思路或许可以重新定义音响发烧的全新沉浸体验。更值得期待的是，两位创始人通过全新平台给予更多专业评论员以展示自己独特见解之机会，将更多更有建设性的观点引入音响领域，促进行业的发展进步。若您追求超越参数表的「真实声音价值」，这里正是开启专业交流与跨界共鸣的关键入口！”

“不论作为发烧友的身份还是从业者的身份，校长一直都是我非常敬佩的行业伙伴。从早期在第三方论坛上的内容，再到《中国立体声》时期的各种尝试，都让我看到了一个充满热情的发烧友作为从业者之后希望为这个行业带来的一些有趣、有意义、有价值的内容和服务。而这个逐渐冷清的行业也确实需要校长这样的发烧友来增加行业内的视野与热情。 

最近还一直在惋惜中国立体声论坛的关停，就得知了校长新的The HiFi News规划，媒体服务与用爱发电之间其实一直有着不可逾越的鸿沟，也希望The HiFi News可以在当今的音频媒体中展现出订阅制服务的优势与价值，让更多用户通过付费的服务可以获得更有价值、有效率和客观公正的内容。也让行业内的同行获得更多的灵感和享受到相关的服务。

校长一直是个充满热情的从业者，但最重要的是，在我心里他的第一标签永远是个发烧友，这是最应该却也最难得的。”

“作为校长多年的好友，我有幸见证了他对音响领域的热情与专业。自10年前起，我们便一同为《高保真音响》撰稿，结下深厚友谊；当纸质杂志停刊后，我们又一起中国立体声论坛撰稿组上继续书写新篇章。校长对器材的深刻理解、对音乐的独到见解，以及对读者问题的耐心解答，都让我深感钦佩。在我眼里他不仅是音响领域的专家，更是懂得如何与爱好者分享的引路人。

听闻校长即将创办一个新的音响平台——The HiFi News，深感这不仅是他多年对音响文化的热爱与温度的延续，也是他丰富从业经验与思考的厚积薄发。更具专业价值的新平台是值得所有玩家欣喜的，我为校长的不竭动力而高兴。”

“我与校长相识快20年了，最初是在中国立体声论坛。

这十几年，视频号兴起并蓬勃发展，总能看到校长活跃在国外重大音响展会的身影，说着流利的英语，穿梭于各个展商展房。他还拜访国外音响厂商，探寻那些品牌背后故事与设计理念。他还会去探访当地华人发烧友，了解他们的玩hifi的心路历程。这在国内自媒体人中十分罕见，也充分体现了他作为自媒体人，对音响的热忱以及在探索之路上的辛勤付出。

在国内，校长同样不遗余力地推动发烧音响文化的发展。对待每一个音响品牌，无论大牌还是小众，他都秉持中立态度，一视同仁地进行宣传。

这20年来，看着他为发烧音响文化四处游走，很佩服他的坚持与热爱。也期待他刚创立的新媒体，为行业和发烧友做出更多有益的贡献。“

「Steven Tam專業觸覺，領先潮流」

以耳尖丈量音場的維度，以科技雕琢聲波的純度；願貴媒成為發燒友的指南針，在類比與數位的星河中，錨定極致原音； 以筆鋒解構器材的靈魂，用版面鋪陳旋律的詩篇。

當黑膠紋理遇上晶片演算，當真空管的暖度擁抱串流的廣袤， 期待每一期內容皆成『聲音的文藝復興』， 讓讀者在阻抗與響頻的數據裡，聽見音樂亙古的浪漫。

“日前，Steven 與我分享了他籌建全新音響媒體平台 The HiFi News 的計劃，這將是一個涵蓋業界消息、產品評測及用家交流的綜合平台。

我與 Steven 相識於約十年前的香港數碼廣播電台節目《發燒玩家》，當時他是節目主持人。他的優勢在於年輕、熱誠且博學，為節目帶來了新觀點與朝氣。我一直十分欣賞他，尤其我們同樣熱愛耳機與喇叭，話題自然特別投契。多年來，我們保持私下交流，也讓我愈發佩服他對各類音響產品的透徹理解。

至於 The HiFi News 的另一位創辦人 Roger（校長），我們的淵源更深。他熱衷於與發燒友第一手交流，當年來香港家訪時，我們因音響結緣，初識便相談甚歡。因工作關係，我經常參與歐美音響展，而 Roger 作為全能媒體人，對國內外品牌的歷史、定位及業界領軍人物皆瞭如指掌。我們在香港影音展中多次同行，交流廣泛而深入，那種知已良伴相逢恨晚的感覺，是我在音響圈子中的一件樂事。

如今，The HiFi News 匯聚了兩位有心有力的音響專才，無疑是一個為 HiFi 圈搭建橋樑、促進交流的壯舉。衷心期待這個平台能夠水到渠成，發展得有聲有色，成為發燒友與從業者的理想天地！
