So still with a bit of History.
main Partner is German Physiks. They have a new US Distributor who happens to be a Merrill Audio Dealer, so a lot of synergy. This was agreed in August last year. Most partnerships happen 6 to 9 months before the show and some have been there for years. Others evolve over time.
for myself, I try to partner with different companies as demonstration that the equipment works well across the board. Some companies like this and others just want the same partners every year. Of course some requirements for partnership are a little bizzare so the least said about that the best.
After working on the speakers, the rest slowly came together.
VPI Avenger Signature Turntable with Magentic Platter and 12 inch 3D printed Arm. $22k.
Steve Leung provide at the very last week, a brand new VAS Nova Signatue priced at $3.5k
Stillpoints agreed to provide the Acrylic Rack with 4 shelves. $10k
GIK will provide Tri corner bass traps with Range Limiter Techology.
Electronics will be
Merrill Audio
VERITAS Monoblocks
Jens Reference Phono Stage
and the World Premier of the Christine Reference Pre-amplifier.
Distinctive Stereo will provide the Emm Labs DAC2x
Cables will be from Merrill Audio.
With that we have about 1,000 pounds of equipment to be shipped!!!
That is also 1,000 pounds of equipment to setup.
Put some cost in there - $0.70/pound+surcharge+special even fees. That is close to $900 in shipping each way. In the scheme of things, this is not a lot but each item adds up of course.
Everything has to be shipping no later then 20th May to guarantee arrival on time for the show. So the rush was on to get everything prepared - equipment from all the partners, brochures, signs, music and all the little items like remotes, tablets, correct number of cables, working computers were all in.
The expectation is that Thursday morning 8am, June 2nd, 2 weeks later, when we walk into room 1417, One Thousands pounds of equipment will be in that room 13 x 19!
More to come!
