The Finer Things in Life with Audio Boutique
Audio Boutique, located on Sydney's Northern Beaches is hosting an appreciation night for fine wine and audio on 12th June 2014. A chance to unwind after a hard day's work, experiencing El Nino wines from Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, and a selection of fine audio products from Focal, Musical Fidelity, Krell and more.
Hosts Carmelina and Mick, owners of Audio Boutique, along with Nigel Macara from Audio Marketing are extending this invitation to readers of StereoNET to come along and visit the store in a relaxed and informal setting.
The evening is about appreciation and understanding, both for fine wine and music, with experts on hand to answer questions. The focus however will be enjoyment; so tasting and listening. There will be Vinyl and CD demonstrations with the opportunity for people to try their own music, along with Mick also demonstrating how effective media streaming is with various levels of compression.
Just some of the equipment in the spotlight on the night includes Musical Fidelity M6500i Integrated Amplifier coupled with a Krell 525a CD Player. Rega's RP10 turntable will be showcased additionally.
Finally, the beautiful Focal Viva Utopia speakers will be in fine form and on duty.
This is a great chance to mingle with other enthusiasts, meet with Carmelina and Mick, sample some great wine and enjoy an evening with no obligation.

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.
