Show Report By Rick Becker

Sutton C  EQ Audio Video And Tri-Cell Enterprises
At the back of Sutton C was a very fine rig with Alsyvox Botticelli panel speakers ($120k) driven by Vinnie Rossi Brama preamp ($43k) and Brama power amp ($43k). The front end included an Ediscreation Bach music server ($14k), Playback Design MPS-8 CD / SACD player / DAC / Streamer ($36k). Lots of very nice gear combined to make very nice music.

Here's a look at the Ediscreation music server mentioned above, on a Rogoz Silver/grey rack ($8735).

Vinnie Rossi Brama preamp & power amp, along with a Synergistic Research PowerCell SX ($11,250), and behind it the Synergistic Research's flagship  SRX speaker cables ($37.5k) .

A TW Acoustic Raven GT2 ($9400) was on silent display along with a ModWright PH 9.0X phono stage.

I met David Geist of Tri-Cell Enterprises, a major distributor in Canada, who walked me through this rig.

It's nice to see Avid turntables are being imported from Great Britain again. I wasn't aware that this company produces everything from speakers to amps and cables in what must be a pricey line.

Some visitors might have heard the alternate speaker shown here.

As I was leaving the space I noticed a row of interesting-looking amplifiers labeled "Advance, Paris". David told me it is a new line he is bringing in that is designed in France and manufactured in China. The Classic A10 integrated amp was priced at $2825.
