Munich 2025

The assignment for High End Munich 2025 was simple, and direct: “Show me turntables. Lots and lots of turntables.” And who better to carry out such a focused task than my go-to table-loving colleague and main product reviewer for AP, the always estimable Ken Micallef.

In the video that’s posted below, and also available on our official YouTube channel, you’ll see Ken’s 11½-minute Munich 2025 video diary, which features a wide swath of turntables, plus a few tonearms and cartridges to boot because, hey, we’re not single-category savages, ya know?

In the above clip, you’ll see a wide array of turntables, arms, and carts from companies like Neumann, Thomas Schick, TechDAS, Clearaudio, Klaudio, Kronos, Kuzma, Dual, Muarah, J.Sikora, Soulution, Technics, Ortofon, Thuono, Thrax, Wilson Benesch, Transrotor, Thales, Supatrac, The Wand, Pro-Ject, Thorens, and more.

Also, see if you can spot our easter egg of sorts, which directly relates to something many, if not all of us, have had to deal with when it comes to playing vinyl, vintage or otherwise — and then let us know in the Comments section below if you think you’ve got it. And, with that final note: Happy viewing!
