A premier music appreciation event, jointly organized by Gorgeous Audio and Richcom Company Limited, was held on Saturday, March 28, 2026, at the Gorgeous Audio showroom on the 12th floor of Fung Leung Centre, Johnston Road, Wan Chai. The event featured two well-filled sessions, held at 2:30 pm and 4:30 pm, bringing together audio enthusiasts and music lovers to experience a musical feast that combined cutting-edge technology with artistic emotion.

The Gorgeous Audio showroom was thoughtfully arranged in a simple and warm style, allowing guests to focus on listening in a relaxed environment. The sonic centerpiece was the Peak Consult Sinfonia three-way floor-standing loudspeakers. A full suite of CH Precision Series 1 components was neatly arrayed on audio racks, gleaming with the metallic luster of Swiss precision engineering. For the vinyl system, the SME Model 12 Mark II turntable stood quietly, paired with the Chord Company PhonoARAY grounding system, underscoring an ultimate pursuit of signal purity. All cabling was from the Siltech Royal Crown series, ensuring meticulous attention to every link from power delivery to signal transmission.

Andy Yu from Richcom Company Limited, with his engaging and accessible style, introduced the logic behind the assembly of the vinyl system. Andy emphasized that a vinyl setup is not merely a stack of components, but requires precise matching and careful calibration to truly unleash the soul of analog music.

A representative from CH Precision delved into the technical essence of the CH Precision Series 1. He specifically highlighted the patented “CH-Link” transmission interface found in the D1.5 reference CD/SACD player and the proprietary upscaling algorithm used in the C1.2 controller, explaining how they restore digital signals to a natural fluidity closest to analog. The representative also discussed the modular design of the P1 phono stage, which allows precise matching to different cartridge characteristics, enabling unprecedented dynamics and detail in vinyl playback.

Andy Yu also selected some of his cherished vinyl records to play. As the music flowed from the SME Model 12 turntable, the warm, rich texture and vibrant, lifelike soundstage made it feel as though the singers and band were performing right in front of the audience. Andy particularly noted the precision engineering of the SME Model 12 and the significant contribution of the Chord Company PhonoARAY grounding system to the background’s quietness, allowing the analog韵味 of vinyl to be even purer.

The appearance of “Dazao,” Chief Editor of Audio Technique magazine, along with Editor Joey, brought the atmosphere to a climax. These two seasoned editors are not only audio critics but also avid music collectors. They brought cherished recordings from their years of collecting, spanning various genres of audiophile-grade music. Each track played by Dazao and Joey, reproduced through the SME, CH Precision, Siltech, and Peak Consult system, rendered the transient attack of piano hammers striking strings, the rich overtones of the soundboard, and the subtle ambient reverberation of the space with stunning clarity, leaving the audiophiles present in rapt attention.

Between the listening and discussion segments, guests had the opportunity to inspect the equipment up close and engage in conversations with the staff. Key highlights of the demonstration system are summarized below:

CH Precision Series 1: The complete system included the D1.5 SACD/CD player, C1.2 digital controller, P1 phono stage, L1 preamplifier, two M1.1 monaural power amplifiers, T1 reference master clock, and X1 external power supply units. This assemblage represents the pinnacle of Swiss audio craftsmanship. From power supply separation and fully balanced amplification circuits to its upgradeable firmware architecture, every aspect embodies the design philosophy of “precisely reproducing the original essence of music.”

Peak Consult Sinfonia Three-Way Floor-standing Loudspeakers: Featuring custom-made Danish drivers, including a soft-dome tweeter and specially coated midrange and bass cones, the crossover network was refined through countless listening sessions to achieve extremely low distortion and high dynamics. Based on what was heard on-site, the Sinfonia created a soundstage that was both wide and deep, effortlessly conveying the grand scale of orchestral music as well as the delicate nuances of vocals.

SME Model 12 Mark II Turntable + Chord Company PhonoARAY Grounding System as a legendary brand in the turntable industry, SME has incorporated the technological essence of its flagship models into the Model 12 Mark II, delivering rock-solid speed accuracy and exceptional resonance control. Paired with Chord Company’s unique PhonoARAY grounding box, it effectively eliminates ground loop interference, resulting in an ultra-quiet background for vinyl playback where delicate signals can fully emerge with complete clarity.

Siltech Royal Crown Series Cables: The entire system is wired with premium Siltech Royal Crown Series cables, featuring the brand’s exclusive S10 single-crystal pure silver conductors. Combined with a hexagonal arrangement structure, dual insulation materials and multi-layer shielding technology, they ensure pure, uncoloured signal transmission, fully unlocking the potential of the entire system.

This “CH + SME + Peak + Siltech | Vinyl + CD Music Listening Session” was more than just a demonstration of equipment; it was a profound engagement with music culture. Through meticulous planning and execution, Gorgeous Audio, in collaboration with Richcom Company Limited, allowed participants to deeply appreciate how top-tier audio systems can convey the emotion and energy within music. We will continue to organize similar events in the future, inviting more music and audio enthusiasts to explore the limitless possibilities of high-fidelity music reproduction.
