The August 2012 meeting of the Sydney Audio Club sees us once again at Dence Park for an afternoon of fine music and sound and convivial company. Each month, the Sydney Audio Club presents the finest in high end audio systems for our members and guests. It's a bit like a private audio show once a month where you can hear and discuss equipment that you might not otherwise have the chance to audition. And you can bring along your own music to test the capabilities of the system or to just share with like-minded music lovers in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. This month, we focus on the offerings of the Audio Products Group (APG). APG is a distributor of premium audio and visual products to home, business and professional users. Some of their brands include: AKG, Denon, Elan, Loewe, NAD, PSB, Peavey, RevoLabs, Sunfire, Tannoy, WireWorld. Scott Collins, the APG Marketing Manager, will be in the audience to answer questions. The equipment line-up will be: NAD CD player C546BEEG (RRP $599) http://www.audioproducts.com.au/ProductInfo.aspx?pid=C546BEEG PSB Imagine T2 speakers (new $3499 floorstanders with a transitional 5-way design) http://www.psbspeakers.com/products/imagine/Imagine-T2-Tower NAD C 390DD (new $2,999 2 x 160w amp with Direct Digital technology) http://www.audioproducts.com.au/ProductInfo.aspx?pid=C390DD Cabling by WireWorld http://www.wireworldcable.com/categories/reference_range.html Also, we will have other products which were some of the first collaborations between the two brands of NAD and PSB: PSB M4U2 headphones (RRP $399) http://www.audioproducts.com.au/brandproducts.aspx?Brand=PSB\ NAD VISO 1 smart music system (RRP $699) http://www.audioproducts.com.au/ProductInfo.aspx?pid=VISOONE The NAD VISO 1 also features Direct Digital technology. While this is not a typical audiophile product it does offer great sound for what it is. They are often finding a place in other rooms of an audiophile's home where casual listening is the desire. And… the Audio Products Group (APG) has generously offered to give away the display PSB M4U2 headphones, free! This will be offered as a draw/door prize. You will need to provide your name and email address to enter the draw (one entry per person). Your details may be used by APG in their marketing, but will not be shared with any other business. As usual, the second half of the music sessions will be BYO. Members and guests are welcome to offer music to share with us all. So bring along your favourite music on CD (sorry, no vinyl this month). All we ask is that the music and recordings be interesting. We'll ask you to tell us a little about the artist/recording before it is played. Tracks over 6 minutes will be faded out, to give everyone a fair go. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned veteran, you will have the opportunity to listen, learn and share your experiences with others of a similar mind. Members and Guests welcome – we are a very friendly club so you don't need to know anyone to join us for an afternoon of fine music and sound. We will welcome you at the door.
