Set up Day Snooping at High End Munich 2016 Produced Some Scoops!

Being a glutton for punishment, instead of taking it easy after traveling all night to Munich, I headed directly to the MOC convention center to watch everyone set up for Thursday’s press day opening.

Among the new analog gear I found: a new KLAUDIO cavitation based cleaning machine. It’s smaller and includes new functionaiity including a fine water level adjustment and an outboard water tank that improves filtering and makes easier tank cleaning.

There’s a new Frank Schröder tone arm built in America by Soundsmith and a lot more you’ll see on the video. There will apparently be some “big news” about reel-to-reel tape recorders to be announced on Thursday! (Warning: the sound gets loud at around 13:25).

When you see the state of the convention floor the day before the show begins, you’ll find it difficult to believe everyone will be ready to go on Thursday.

...looks like something right out of the Jetsons. What a MASSIVE frickin' arm also. Was that Mr. Spacely you were talking to?

Or king of jet lag.
I'd be laid-up with an I.V. sticking out of my arm on your schedule, Michael!

Thank god for Pro-ject. Most of this stuff is about as interesting as a Lamborghini.

They could sell a lot of those turntables in Portland if they'd put a bird on it.

...if a fluid damper, such as the one available on SME tonearms, would mitigate the effects of bearing chatter?

On another subject, how many caught the long, long trailer (movie) reference?

The manufacturer of the S(h)procket turntable should hire Dieter (aka Mike Myers) as a s(h)pokesperson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHZR9SA5pOg
