Weekend in Hong Kong

We had a great time this weekend at the Hong Kong High-End Show 2016.

We exhibited with Forthwise, our distributor for Hong Kong, Macau and China. We played on the brilliant TechDAS turntable together with CH Precision electronics. The sound was extremely natural and clear which we received a lot of positive feedback for.

High End Munich 2015 – The Room

We were lucky to get some shots of the room yesterday before we opened otherwise it’d have been impossible. There has been a constant crowd hindering the view 🙂 Leif is playing a crazy mix of tunes, everything from Rock with Jimi Hendrix , Jazz with Hiromi and Beethoven with Lang Lang to Electronica with James Blake and Blues with Junior Wells. It all sounds great!

The system

Here is the main system – Four MSB M203 Mono blocks between the pair of Coltrane 3
