More high end systems on demo at MOC day 3. If you wanna sample most(I say most because not all are on demo, display only) of what high end audio brands, known or otherwise, here is the place to be. It’s like a beauty pageant where all the best looking women are gathered for your eyes only!
The classic pairing of Soulution electronics with Magico speakers, only this time, the sound is less sterile
The fit and finish of the Soulution stuff is first rate though
Soulution 511 stereo integrated amplifier, new for MOC 2016!
Guess what, Brinkman is not only all about turntables, they have a full range of phono, preamp & power amplifiers too. Seen here with Vandersteen speakers, which to my ears, are still worth consideration in the high speaker business. Any dealers keen on this?

After the Kojo Technology Crystal Ep virtual grounding plugs improved the sound when fixed to the black terminals of my ATC speakers, I tried the third plug with RCA cap on my preamp. I couldn't find any unused RCA input in my streamer/transport, DAC or power amp, so I had to use the tube Lamm LL2 Deluxe preamp for the test.

Kenix Chua of Begins Acoustic gave me the opportunity to try grounding speakers when she handed me three Kojo Technology Crystal Ep virtual grounding plugs on the last day of the Kuala Lumpur International AV Show last weekend. Two of them had spades while the third had an RCA plug. I was told to plug them into the black terminals of the speakers or an unused black RCA jack of the preamp, DAC or streamer.
