KLIAVS 2018: Two exciting new brands

By | July 25th, 2018|Categories: Av2day|Tags: , , , , , , |

By Lam Seng Fatt

 

While going from room to room at the recent KLIAVS 2018, I spotted at least two new products which are exciting.

 

One was the Italian-made Gold Note turntable in the Audio Perfectionist room. Just next to all those blue dials (aka Mcintosh) was the Gold Note Giglio turntable. I am not sure if Gold Note turntables have ever been sold in Malaysia before, but as far as I can recall, this is the first time I have seen a Gold Note turntable here.… Read the full article

AXPONA 2018: The pre-amp that changed everything – Nagra

The Preamplifier?

Nagra‘s rooms are always on, and dialled to 11. They sneak up on you, and deliver a different something special each time, always changing it up a little. I still have vivid memories of the Nagra room at CES 2017, my best of show. Nagra plus Wilson plus the maestro Peter McGrath’s breathtaking recording. It doesn’t get better.   Maybe it can….

René Laflamme, Sales and Marketing Manager for Nagra America, had a few new tricks at AXPONA to continue to impress.… Read the full article

AXPONA 2018 – Friday Night Lights, and Saturday delights

AXPONA-1-Friday-Feature

Into the light of Saturday.

Lions, tigers, and bears – Oh my.

Substitute the first three nouns in that sentence for women, teens, and children, and you’d get my drift about what I noticed over the weekend in Illinois. This was pretty much the first time I’d seen any of those demographics in any amount of numbers at an audio show in North America. And no, it wasn’t just because there was a large dance competition being held simultaneously in part of the host venue, these were women, teens, and kids clutching AXPONA merchandise, and making the rounds between the more than 150 show rooms.… Read the full article

LA Audio Show 2017: Elite Audio Systems create space with Viola Audio Labs, Kharma and Linn

Good Kharma.

Elite Audio Systems out of San Francisco, California created a very unique, and Zen-like listening space at the Los Angeles Audio Show. They had put up a large semi-transparent photographic background which transported you upon entering the room into an ethereal forest, and set the mood to one of chill out zone. A major departure from the usual plain-Jane hotel room with folding chairs that make up the bulk of demonstration rooms at hifi shows in North America.… Read the full article

High End 2017: Kharma! (finally)

By | June 15th, 2017|Categories: Part-Time Audiofile|Tags: , , , , |

Kharma has never been on my radar. Besides being wayyyy out of my league I have always considered the company to be more of a luxury proposition than a true high end audio manufacturer. I’m in this hobby because I enjoy music and showing off was never a goal, not even a secondary one. This year Kharma sent me back to school.

First of all the room and especially the new Enigma Veyron-4 speakers sounded damn good. Airy, open and coherent like never before.

Newport 2016: Zesto, Kharma, WyWires generate a buzz

I don’t know how Michael Fremer does it. The Analog Planet scribe, guru of all things vinyl, lugs around a bag full of rare wax to test equipment at shows. Me, I have a hard enough time getting from room to room with my 35mm Nikon D5300, a couple of lenses, batteries, two notebooks, event guide and five or six Flair pens that I somehow manage to lose by the end of the day.

And, after about a dozen auditions I’ve also usually accumulated a few pounds of brochures, gear lists and business cards as well.… Read the full article
