The 2016 Melbourne International HiFi Show will of course be no different. Pure Music Group will present superlative components from International and local manufacturers in Room 1315.

Forming their main demonstration system, the TechDAS Air Force III turntable will debut, featuring vacuum hold-down platter, air bearing and impeccable pedigree inherited from Japan’s much lauded Micro Seiki.

The Air Force III can accommodate up to four tonearms, and utilises many of the technologies pioneered by the Air Force I and II turntables, in a more affordable package. Pure Music Group's digital source will come from New Zealand's Antipodes Audio. Founder, Mark Jenkins will be on hand to answer all your questions regarding computer audio, Roon and other topics.

Mola-Mola will present the latest version of their stunning Makua preamplifier, now available with a state of the art DAC and Phono Stage on board. Not only does this reduce the box count for a true high-end system, but also saves a significant amount of money in cables, while providing an unparalleled level of control from the digital interface.

Gauder Akustik is causing a sensation at HiFi shows overseas, with the Berlina RC-7 now in Mk II guise. RC-7 has recently won several Best Sound at Show awards with amplifiers from Accuphase, ASR, Octave, Vitus and others.

This demonstrates that this versatile speaker can partner with many high quality amplifiers and deliver top class sound. Visitors will also see the superb KEO audio rack from Paralyse Audio in Germany, the KEO is a work of art in minimalist design but with excellent acoustic qualities.
