Hi Downunder,
it sure was obvious - wasn't it?
How could I missed that one - it was handed on a plate.
But seriously - I am quite happy that finally he and me came to some terms and share at least a small common ground and point of view.
The Munich HE show report.... ?
Most feedback from Munich HIgh-End show made favorite mention of the Korean Audiophile displaying - and playing - 1940ies small Western Electric theatre short horns with Allnic amplification (as far as I remember it was Allnic ...).
Since large picture horn systems are terra incognita for most German audiophiles not into vintage theatre sound, this did not fail to make a huge impression on a large portion of the visitors.
A very different )if vintage...) sound which stand out and away from the "crowd" for various reason.
Besides that - hardly anything new to mention. Manuel Huber showed off his Thales and Simplicity tonearms at Brinkmann's and TW of TW brought the white (?) labeled black bird to Munich. They all had their fans and admirers dropping in and out, - well, business as usual.
On the whole scale there was less novelties compared to last year and the side show at the Meridien Hotel in the city centre was a logistic declaration of bankrupt (it wasn't great last year at Fleming's either, but pure gold compared to 2010...).
Soundwise nothing really deserved to be mentioned - blame it to show room conditions, lack of interest, lack of abilities - pick either and you can not go wrong.
In most cases a mixture of all.
So - all in all, kind of disappointing.
With European regulations seriously nipping (snapping.... with brute jaws!) at High-end's heels I really wonder what we will see in 2011.
But the weather was fine the last 2 days .....
