There are products at every show for which "pricing is not available" or "pricing to be determined." Here are a few worth knowing about.

As good as the Zellaton Plural Evo speakers sounded, they enjoyed plenty of help from the YS Sound YSS 382 JP preamplifier and YSS 332 JP stereo power amplifier (above) doing the driving. These Japanese electronics wear their professional DNA proudly on their sleeve, with the control styling of the preamp matching the instrument casework of the power amp -- albeit a pretty oversized instrument. On the basis of this performance, the products of this almost secretive company are well worth further investigation.

Dan D’Agostino Master Audio was playing the new Relentless Epic 800 mono amplifiers and preamplifier (with Wilson Audio XVX speakers) in one of the MOC’s large Atrium rooms, an open space with several systems around the room taking turns playing music. The release date for the products is still two or three months out.
