SOUND GALLERY’S FULL SUITE ON DISPLAY
There's a new shop on Melbourne's block when it comes to HiFi stores. Sound Gallery's proprietor, John Ong, is no stranger to the industry having worked in many stores over the last two decades.
And you don’t need to guess which display will be chock full to the rafters at this year’s Melbourne International Hi-Fi Show.
Any room displaying a suite of gear from Micromega, Bel Canto, Franco Serblin, Gold Note, Solid Tech, Taoc, Digibit, Tara Labs, Weiss Engineering, Gigawatt, Audia Flight and Wilson Benesch has our attention, and yours.
This well-stocked treasure trove of leading brands and models is also the vehicle Sound Gallery will use to showcase brand new models.
Micromega, for example, will have its new M-100, a svelte 100 watts per channel integrated amplifier with DAC Airplay, Bluetooth aptX, LAN-Network 24bit /384kHz Asynchronous, SPDIF Coax-Opto-AES 24bit / 768kHz USB asynchronous passing DXD, DSD, and DOP.
It also has Phono MM / MC, Analogue balanced and unbalanced inputs, and DSP with optional automatic room correction (M.A.R.S); all contained in one amazingly compact module.
Bel Canto will debut the Black ACI-600 flagship and all-in-one model built to manage and control the complex number of audio sources we use today.
Ease of use is paramount for the ACI-600 so manually pressing and rotating the control dial on top of the ACI-600 adjusts volume levels and allows access to control your system’s functions. Or you operate the ACI-600 by using the supplied IR custom remote control. The third option is to use your iPhone/iPad loaded with the Bel Canto’s custom iOS remote app.
One more product that will cause audiophile pulses to race is sure to be Gold Note’s new Pianosa turntable that features a curved plinth in Italian hardwood walnut, and a 20mm thick MDF plinth reinforced with a 3mm stainless steel plate.
Noise levels are vanishingly low and the Pianosa’s speed stability matches or exceeds that of the very best turntables.
All of this is just a sample of the high-caliber products that Sound Gallery will be showcasing. Room 1205 is a must-visit room of the three-day show.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
