\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a show report from the Melbourne International Hifi Show 2017<\/a>. It will be a short report since I was one of the Exhibitors together with Hulgich Audio<\/a> and unfortunately I didn\u2019t have time to visit the majority of the rooms at the show.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I promise you, it’s a lot of hard work setting up a listening room for a Hifi show!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But, it was worth it when everything were in place!<\/p>\n

The following equipment was used when we played music on the Hulgich Audio<\/a> loudspeakers.<\/p>\n

Source:<\/strong> A Mac mini running JRiver Media Center and as a backup a fully modded Oppo 103.<\/p>\n

DAC: <\/strong> Audio-GD NFB7.38<\/a> ($2000 Aud)<\/p>\n

Pre-amp: <\/strong> JUNGSON JA-2 LUXURY EDITION<\/a> ($1350 Aud)<\/p>\n

Mono block amps: <\/strong> NORD ONE SE<\/a> with Sonic Imagery 994 Class A Discrete Input Buffer ($3000 Aud\/pair)<\/p>\n

Speaker cable<\/strong>: Hulgich Audio<\/a> FTM Speaker Cable<\/a> ($485 Aud\/2.5m)<\/p>\n

This equipment paired with Hulgich Audio<\/a> loudspeakers is a truly a “HighEnd for the People” setup and proves that a fantastic sound doesn’t need to cost a fortune!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A close up of the new great sounding Ella MkII<\/a> 3-way loudspeaker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The beautiful sounding Maestro<\/a> 2.5-way lodspeaker in action.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The impressive sounding Serenade<\/a> 2-way stand-mount loudspeaker.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Nicolas the founder and owner of Hulgich Audio<\/a> is giving us the happy face and the audience seems to enjoy what they hear!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the result of our hard work was this!<\/p>\n

Let’s go and check the other stuff I managed to listen to and look at……<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Some fully active horn loudspeakers running with DEQX HDP-5 digital preamp processor<\/a> and small 2-way monitors, both from Australian made Krix<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Three stunningly looking active and passive speakers from the Australian made SGR Audio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Active open baffle speakers from Spatial Audio<\/a> running with DEQX HDP-5 digital preamp processor.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Another Australian made passive open baffle speaker from Neudrum<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Large floor-standing speakers from the Australian made VAF<\/a>. Looks like SEAS drivers for the mids and tweeter.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Great sounding small fully active and DSP controlled stand-mount loudspeakers from Kii Audio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And last but not least – Oscar, part of the Hulgich Audio Team. We couldn’t have managed without your skills and golden ears!<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
