Last night I visited the Hiendy Club in Hong Kong with 5 audiophile friends.

Hiendy is one of the best/most popular audiophile forums in Hong Kong.
It specializes in the hi-end sector and has attracted large number of participants, not only audiophiles but also local dealers, retailers & pre-owned shop owners in HK.

This is the entry portal of Hiendy : https://www.hiendy.com/
The 2-channel forum : https://www.hiendy.com/hififorum/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=6
HT forum : https://www.hiendy.com/hififorum/forum.php?mod=forumdisplay&fid=7
Head-fi forum : https://headfidy.com/forum/forum.php
The Buy&Sell area : https://www.hiendy.com/hififorum/forum.php?gid=4

This month Hiendy turns brick-and mortar and opens an Hiendy Club!

The Club occupies a 1,000 sq feet unit in an industrial building in Hong Kong.

It's just a 5 min walk from an underground station. Super convenient!

There are two rooms.
The bigger one is for demo of both HT and stereo equipment from the various dealers in Hong Kong.
Also a perfect site to organize audiophile gatherings and publicity events of hifi dealers.
Audiophiles are free to visit the room during the opening hours of the Club.
Currently the stereo setup there consists of Firebird + DS Audio DS002 cartridge, Soulution (541 sacd player + 525 preamp + 501 monos) and Genesis Mastero speakers :

There is another smaller room exclusive for the "friends" of the webmasters of Hiendy.com
This is also where equipment submitted by dealers for review are placed & reviewed.
Currently the stereo setup there consists of MSB Reference DAC, Nottingham AnnaLog turntable+Sumiko Starling cartridge, Nagra VPS phono, Nagra HD Preamp, Danish Audio Design the Little Big monos and YG Acoustics Sonja 2.3 :

That a virtual forum opening a physical venue for gatherings is most welcomed by HK audiophiles!
I heard that another HK audio forum which specializes in entry & mid grade components will do so too in the near future.

BTW the powerline system of the Club is designed by Audiolink HK, a shop specializes in audio/HT powerline products.

The breaker-box in the Club is awesome!
If possible I will write a post about it later.

That "The Century" breaker box is a new product.
I will ask for more info from Philips, the Audio Link HK shop owner.
