The 10th SZ Cultural Exposition 2014

Event 2014

Date: 2014-05-23

 

The period from 16th to 18th May 2014 witnessed the 10th Shenzhen Cultural Exposition and the 10th Yeller Club High-End Show at Central Walk Shopping Mall in Futian District. Richcoln Company Limited was invited to participate in the event and set up its flagship audio system from Germany, comprising Burmester's 069 CD player, 077 preamplifier, 909 MK5 power amplifier, B100 floorstanding speaker, 948 power conditioner in Exhibition Room # 10 with "Live at the Berlin Philharmonie" as the feature of the Show. Meanwhile, the Burmester Phono 100 (phono preamplifier) was partnered with Acoustic Signature's Ascona analogue turntable for music reproduction on LPs. The software used for playback consisted naturally of recordings made in the Berlin Philharmonie to match.

The nobility, purity of tone, detailed and glossy sound and grain free high register inherent of Burmester impressed visitors to the show venue everyday. Vocals, bowing sound of the violins, micro-dynamics of percussions, musical details and dynamics of large-scale orchestras were fully captured, reflecting the superb control and truthful reproducing capability of the system to re-create an expansive, holographic soundstage and transform our exhibition room into a world-class concert hall. Also striking was the 178 kg Acoustic Signature Ascona turntable of near perfection in all respects, able to demonstrate the best in analogue sound recordings. Meanwhile, the Sussurro moving iron cartridge by Soundsmith of USA had tremendous contribution to accurate retrieval of signals engraved on the vinyl disc, thanks to its low effective moving mass that results in superior trackability as compared with moving coils.

Saturday 17th May saw the most touching evening in which our audio consultant Mr. Franz Chan was to conduct a Hi Fi concert of fine music on analogue discs. Audiophiles packed the exhibition room. Enthusiasm went high despite air-conditioning issues. Attendees were reluctant to leave until completion of the session two hours later. They were overwhelmed by the impeccable performance of our demo equipment and responded with applauses. The short 3-day span ended leaving us an impression that the music literacy of our fellow Chinese is being elevated to an unprecedented level. Fine music can enrich people in quest of better living and we are committed to helping them achieve this goal.
