@Agaton Sax .......well I still think the Brinkmann Nyquist is the best DAC/Streamer in the market (for those who really want to have the fine sound and character of Analog). I wouldnt swop my Nyquist against a full stack of DCS - I promise!) I m pretty sure most is "done" by the DAC - but the...

Personally I am waiting for a Streamer "engineered and made" by our forum mate Pierre Watts. He is one of very few guys I would trust blindly....especially in this domain. ..and the good thing about me...I learned to wait......:-)

@LIVESOUND ....I dont think that any real Vinyl fan & experienced TT user would seriously refuse or deny those facts "how to deal with severe & big problems in a microscaled process" of playing a simple LP....! I think its more about the "discussions or even fights" about the many ways and HOWs...

or maybe with a 2nd hand rega - you are more than safe. When I look at prices for new LPs....R 700 - R 1000.... but the turntable/Cart should not cost more than 4 LPs do? This only can end bad for the records.....

....18K for an original, new & sealed pair of Mini Autographs..... last chance till end of this week (then we have to adjust the price to the GBP).

@fredeb.... its not the darker side which took over - but - there is a "typ of buyer", a very small "elite" group of people who are only aiming on the highest price tag and there are many thousands who somehow following them and their products in their dreams (even its by social envyness). By...

....I had the honor to join an exclusive demo of this new Thorens Reference TT during the High End in Munich - and the room was closed for the public because Michael Fremer wanted to hear "his self-produced" Jazz Album via the Thorens TT and those new Thorens "Soundwall" speakers which been...

..thank you all for your attention! @Pierre.....yes of course thats Max ..the one and only Max from Berlin - often we get mistaken because we both looking like chinese wrinkle dogs....😉 @optimus ...Horn Speakers never dissapeared and Heiner Basil Martion is the oldest "Horn Maker" (alive) in...

Jonathan uploaded already the last pics.... so let me comment on them and then I ll end there. Brinkmann of course is always a pleasure to (look at and) listen to. Please look at the beauty, the simplicity and perfection of each component. To me its the "Zen" in finding the correct note, the...

...so I m not sure if I bore you people...? There are few more pics to load, few more short stories to tell, the show is past and a new season about to come. You guys let me know if I shall continue or stop here....

......some impressions of Dolce Vita .... after a long loud day on the show it needs a break. My old company invited the dealers and suppliers for an italian evening. Simply Delicious....Simply Italy! Alan from Ruark is still in working modus at his newest All In One product while everybody else...

......here now it got painful indeed! How much do I hate this hall and floor of the show.....You enter the Gryphon booth, you look and listen, you sense the ability of what you hear - and you know this will cost you money..... Valdemar knew it and doesnt even hide it with his big grin..... but...

The other photos should give you some impressions of what I ve seen there - even that was far far more.... This ZenSati / Brodmann System was beside the Chinese Super Set up the second worst and shocking system of the show. Its crazy how much so many components can abuse on a music signal -...

The tall guy next to me is Stefan Dreischärf...the man behind the show. Without him and his team there would be no High End Show in Munich. I mentioned it before that we both knowing each other from the very early days when he was a truly sales animal at PIA (Accuphase) and me as well young...

Lars Worre (Director/Co/Owner Dali) and me on this Polaroid ...in memories of the good old times when he as a Top Absolvent of a Tech University started his career at Dali - just after I got appointed by Peter Lyngdorf as a "temporary" sole importer for Dali in Germany, Austria, Czech and...

The photo of this huge, huge ESD Acoustics Hornsystem & Components (High End made in China) deserves the award "of greatest efforts but lousiest sound of the show" - it was shocking how bad a fleet or armada of components can sound - my toe-nails rolled up. Cessaros small Floorstanders truly...

@optimus..... the good news: The best sounding systems to me so far been those which are within a reality. The Wiener Loudspeaker Manufaktur for example impressed me with a beautyful sounding smallish floorstanding speaker. Odeon ....the brainchild of my friend Axel...they have a range of new...

......I decided to send few impressions of the actual munich show to greet all mates at home. Of course my journey started at my old company TAD Audiovertrieb. From here I start my day, take my breaks, enjoy the fantastic Parmesan, Salami and Wine by our italian friends from Unison Research. It...

....you cant get better "tiny" speakers than them..... just checked the actual prices in Germany - in Rand we are already at R 50K - and as well here ...not made in China. Those are the real last Tannoy Mini Autographs - made in Scotland. Instead of going further down with the price - Jonathan...

...I m not a great fan of their TTs ...BUT.... I simply admire and respect the strong will and way how they re doing things in good old England. This kind of "we are owned by ourselves - no foreign hands in or on it - thats to me makes a brand. Its not a secret here that I am a rega man and...
