Advance Paris & more from Synergy
Among the biggest VU meters you'll ever see!

Never a room to be missed, Melbourne distributor Synergy Audio Visual will be debuting its latest brand, Advance Paris, in Sydney alongside its established catalogue of hi-fi greats – McIntosh, Sonus Faber, Audio Research, Aurender, ELAC... the list goes on.

Advance Paris is a – you guessed it – French electronics brand with a ‘something for everyone’ catalogue that has recently come to Australia for the first time. The company has been operating since 1995 and has come a long way since it launched five loudspeaker models into the French market that year. Today it offers a vast range of hi-fi separates and systems, from CD players and network streamers to pre/powers and streaming integrateds, for both the price-conscious and higher-end hi-fi fan, with prices starting below AU$1,000 and soaring beyond twenty times that. 

Fans of analogue VU-meter aesthetics and valve performance should like what they see and hear, too, with many Advance Paris components utilising vacuum tube technologies alongside solid-state. It’s hard to argue with their on-paper versatility – many of the sources and all-in-ones offer CD, FM radio, network streaming and digital and analogue connectivity. And the performance appears to match it, according to the highly positive Advance Paris X-P700 preamplifier and X-A220 Evo mono power amp review in the latest issue of Audio Esoterica magazine.

Of the new partnership with Advance Paris, Synergy AV's managing director, Philip Sawyer, says: “Advance Paris is one of the most exciting and innovative companies to join the top-tier of global hi-fi brands in recent years. While the company is over 25 years old, the current range is truly remarkable. The combination of feature-set, performance and price points are unique in the market.”

Dimitri Peucelle, the CEO of Advance Paris, adds: “Our line over the last years has been the trigger for worldwide recognition, we now look forward to sharing our range of products which bring a high level of comfort as we propose audiophile features likely to seduce music passionates.”

This year the Elementi speakers will face the ultimate challenge of playing as an audiophile stereo system, in a venue where they'll be heard alongside the best two-channel hi-fi on the planet. 

Wavetrain Cinemas itself recently won ‘Best Home Cinema Global’ from CEDIA for one of its bespoke home cinema designs, adding to a vast trove of cinema awards.

LEVEL 9: ROOM 1
Secret Chord Analogue 
"
As our name suggests, we’re about analogue sound," write Secret Chord Analogue. "And at its heart that’s the vinyl record. So at our presentation room at the Australian HiFi Show in Sydney you’ll not be surprised to find the world’s finest vinyl record cleaning method, Record Restore. Bring along a record for a free test clean if you like.

Because we’re all about analogue you’ll also find tube amps by Elekit of Japan and Red Roo of Australia: power amps, preamps and phono stages, which you can build, have built for you or plan to build at our Amp Camp in the Blue Mountains. 

They’ll be playing into quite possibly the most musical loudspeakers you’ll hear, our Confluence loudspeaker system. It’s open baffle and single driver. Be prepared to be surprised.

Even if you’ve got the cleanest LPs, they’ll not be heard at their peak if your turntable’s not properly set up. Our own Turntable Whisperer, Mark Busby, will be demonstrating turntable set up and the tools that he uses to achieve optimum results: scales, levels, protractors, test discs and analytic software.

Each day we’ll be working through LP playlists. Keep your eye out for the comparatives we’ll be playing: original LPs from back in the day and the latest re-releases of those albums.

And if you’re a guitarist, you may like to try a few chords on the Red Roo Rockstar guitar amp, which will be available towards the end of each day for your personal jamming pleasure."

But Richter's biggest news is the arrival of a whole new model, and perhaps Richter’s most versatile speaker ever: the new Unicorn S6plus Centre / LCR speaker.

“This new Unicorn will be a Richter first and a truly unique and versatile speaker allowing for numerous configurations via its switch modes,” says Brian Rodgers.

It is indeed a clever idea, the rear switches  allowing adjustment for using the Unicorn in any of various scenarios – and notably either horizontal or vertically. You can read more detail on the new Unicorn speaker in our News here.

PuraSound
Brisbane-based PuraSound, which represents an eclectic assortment of high-end hi-fi brands in Australia – from Cyprus's Aries Cerat to Spain's Alsyvox and Canada's Luna Cables – will be demonstrating a highly unique system in Sydney. 

At the helm will be Alsyvox's Tintoretto ribbon planar dipole speaker (pictured above), making its Australian debut no less. 

Also introducing itself will be Aries Cerat's Aperio integrated amplifier, with its innovative TriodeFet technology at its core. In Aries Cerat's words, this extremely simple topology we feel is a breakthrough in amplifier design, and is an elusive design goal for many, including our lab. This feat was only possible to execute after the breakthrough of our TriodeFet technology, and now we are finally able to use an active element that has the needed specifications for the purpose: Extremely high linearity, high voltage gain, high current gain and very high input impedance. All in a single stage.”

That pairing will be complemented by Aries Cerat's thaka DAC, also featuring TriodeFet technology, and Pink Faun's 2.16 Ultra digital server/streamer, with the system completed by cables from Luna Cables and Norway's Skogrand Cables and Isolation by Poland's Stacore.

"I am looking forward to sharing the new TriodeFet technology with Sydney", says PuraSound's Robert Campbell. "The Aperio Integrated is transparent, powerful, able to drive anything and does so with the liquidity and smoothness of a triode. The Ithaka D/A converter is a hugely impressive DAC – addictive!"
