Munich Germany -- High End Society 2006 Show

Part 1

---

  Acoustic Solid offers colors! Yes, another World Premier with their model Classic Wood (€1199) available in virtually any color through custom ordering.

 

Germany's High End Society had various seminars. Seen here in the Technology Stage with Thomas Fast of Fast Audio.

 

Germany has many DIYers and as such, companies like Furutech provides many solutions including connectors for analog, digital, and power cables.

 

Of course Germany's WBT was here in full force.

 

Norbert Lehmann has a World Premier of their Black Cube Statement (€300) that has very high quality for this price range. Such parts include low ESR electrolytics, double-sided circuit board, plus DC jumpers. High-end does not need to mean high priced! Also new is the Black Cube Linear headphone amplifier with USB (€900) DAC that has a passive LC filter, analog input via RCA and1/8-inch (3,5mm) mini jack.

 

Those of you who have read my previous Germany show reports know this place is filled with analog junkies. Seen here is Fenn Music Service who has table after table of vinyl.

 

Italian manufacturer Mastersound has a World Premier of their tubed Preamplifier (around €3,000) that includes wireless remote, five inputs, two outputs and MM phonostage. Tube compliment includes ECC 82 and ECC83. Of course very special parts, custom capacitors, etc are employed.

 

In the B&W room was live music!
