It’s (still) Showtime!

Add to that the fact that the Hong Kong show is located right in the heart of the city, while anybody who is anybody in high-end audio will have a presence at the event, and there are few other places that offer you the chance to see, experience and often discuss so much new or established high-end equipment in such a concentrated space. And for anybody who hails from outside the city, there’s also Hong Kong itself… I reluctantly opted not to visit this year and it’s a decision I’m already regretting.

Historically speaking, magazines running shows is not without its problems. There are inevitable issues that arise from editorial decisions or judgements and the competition from other titles who naturally want to colonise the event. Once the show becomes restrictive and leans towards the interests of the organising title rather than the exhibitors and attendees, it’s significance rapidly starts to crumble. So far, Audio Technique has managed to keep just the right side of that line. Long may that – and the show – continue.
