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.
