Each December fills music lovers and audiophiles in Nanning, Guangxi with great expectations, as the Nanning International AV Show is scheduled to take place amidst every late autumn. Now in its 9th year, the show has matured increasingly and has won the recognition of the industry and attendees. This year's AV fair found its venue at Mingyuan Xindu Hotel and lasted three days. The event saw strong support of numerous audiophiles and music lovers, outnumbering visitors to the previous shows, reflecting a strong atmosphere of music culture.

Room VIP2 remained our booth as usual, where a variety of products were exhibited. The demo system was composed of Burmester's Classic Line, namely 061 CD player, 035 preamplifier, 956 power amplifier, and the PMC twenty.26 floorstanding loudspeaker from UK. On static display were the PMC twenty.22 and TB2-CB shelf-mounted loudspeakers, Burmester 101 integrated amplifier, 102 CD player, B25 floorstanding speaker. There were cables by CHORD of UK - The Power Cord, Indigo XLR balanced interconnect, Cadenza RCA single-ended and XLR balanced interconnect, Epic Twin speaker cables and a variety of interconnects, HDMI cables, USB links and coaxial cables, the Line Series, Master Series, Disc Series, HKS Series and Stage Series of shock absorbers and spike discs by bFly-audio of Germany.

Two cost-effective audio systems were introduced for promotion, one being a PMC Twenty.22 speaker / Exposure 2010 CD player / 2010 integrated amplifier combo, and the other, a PMC TB2-CB speaker / Exposure 1010 CD player / 1010 integrated amplifier combo. These became an attraction and a few audiophiles did not hesitate over bringing either combination home on initial audition. After all this reflected audiophiles' recognition of products distributed by Richcoln.。

The biggest highlight of this exhibition was the introduction of two most sought-after Computer as Source (CAS) combinations. The first combo, a Canadian CAS system comprised Bryston's BHA-1 headphone amplifier, BDP-1 digital player and BDA-2 D/A converter partnered with the VK-1 Legacy headphone, a life-style product by Aedle of France. The second CAS combo was German, which comprised Lindemann's MusicBook25 streaming player and Aedle's VK-1 Classic headphone. These two stylish CAS systems won applause of headphone maniacs. Some visitors came merely for a glimpse while those having seen and heard either system even set foot to buy one in a haste!

We were honoured to have invited Mr. Zhang Guoliang and Zhang Dan, Chief Editors of "Hi-Fi & Home Theater" and Mr. Yang Siping, renowned recording engineer and member of the Guangxi Audio Society, to share their experience in music recording and Hi-Fi and conduct a demo session using equipment we distribute. All audiophiles at the show venue were placed under the spell of music reproduced.

The Nanning International AV Show was not only a highly expected event, but also an experience matching its theme -- "Life is good as music lives". We look forward to the next rendezvous with audiophiles in the province of Guangxi.
