Hong Kong AV Show 2018

摘要

Now Southeast Asia's biggest audio fair, the 17th annual Hong Kong AV Show opened to a fanfare from the region's Royal Police Band. The three-day event took place in Wan Chai's Conference & Exhibition Centre with a record crowd of more than 13,000 visitors passing through the turnstiles on day one. Exhibitors came from around the globe, among them newcomers such as Fyne Audio and MAD from the UK and Cat Audio from Denmark. New launches included a digital audio player from Sony and each visitor received a free show SACD. The STST Modus IIDQ may not be the most striking turntable around but strip away the wooden frame and beneath lies a suspended subchassis with a direct-drive motor. Once set up, says the company, the deck will never again need adjusting. It can be fitted with 9, 10 or 12in tonearms, STST making its own Vertex carbon fibre versions. The frame is available in any real wood veneer or lacquer finish.
