High End Munich 2024—Tracking Angle's Day Two Coverage
Day two's coverage begins and ends with visits to the main floor mayhem where you can find newly minted dreamers as well as veterans who do well selling accessories, records, inner and outer sleeves, etc.
I stopped by Rega, Thorens, where the finished edition of its big turntable was on both static and active display, Acoustic Signature, which showed a new Tango Apex NEO phono preamp and a new €50,000 TA 10000 NEO tonearm. The 50K tonearm price point has become a "destination".
Most interesting is a new floor standing Degritter record cleaning machine, which with it cooling system, dual water tanks and industrial grade filtration system is capable of continuous use.
i stopped in on a Boulder/YG joint press conference you will find interesting, and then spent time in the Cessaro/Alieno/Supatrac (which I misspelled so sorry), Dohmann turntable room where I got to interview the designer of the Alieno tube amplifiers.
Also visited SAT's Marc Gomez, Clearaudio, which also showed a circa €50K tonearm, Kuzma's booth, where Franc showed me the all black edition of the Safir arm and finally the AFI disc flattener/"relaxer".
Sounds like not much but there is much to see!

High End Munich 2024-Tracking Angle's Day One Coverage
Переглядів 11 тис.7 годин тому
New product debuts abounded at High End Munich. I was trying to cover products in the analog domain-turntables, cartridges and phono preamps-and found many each day, but while I was at it I came upon many other new and exciting products you'll see in this day one coverage. All prices are approximate. The day started with a curious coupling of Technics and Lamborghini. It seemed that Lamborghini...

Pro-Ject always has a big presence at High End Munich, but this year the company had its biggest display, taking up a large section of Hall 3's center space. The Pro-Ject "booth" (the word hardly suffices) includes Pro-Ject, E.A.T. and Musical Fidelity. Though there were many new products launched by all 3 companies within the Pro-Ject umbrella, and some were fairly costly, the most significant...

Listen to Gimme Shelter” off an original U.K. Decca pressing of “Let It Bleed”. Well sorry of. I explain in this video how a first lacquer ended up on the second “Decca in a box” label and how this pressing, sourced using the 6th lacquer ended up with the original FFSS Decca label. And more… but this pressing sounds best of the ones I have. Subscribe to TrackingAngle UA-cam channel! Follow Trac...

Mental prices. Hifi is dying
Let’s have Micheal a new top 100 albums
Mikey, the ad on pvc supply in pure genius. Your vinyl Renaissance glory keeps going. Shame this year I did not come across you in Munich, maybe in 2025 then. Thank you and keep rocking
Flux Hi Fi has a nice pair of turntables. ;)
Al those records look like represses
The cover on the Rega Naia makes it more appealing to me as my home is too dusty not to use a dust cover. Yay. Good stuff Micheal
Thank you for another awesome video. Much appreciated.
Awesome Video Michael
Some of those turntables belong in an Art Museum, I sure wouldn’t want to be near them after a few cocktails. 🫣
50,000 euro tonearms . 500,000 euro speakers that cost 10,000 to make . This is a snake oil industry now
Whilst I agree that some items are excessively priced , it’s not just about the costs to manufacture a product. R&D, staff costs, utility bills and costs associated with renting or owning a building need to be factored in. Also, these items will not be sold in bulk, making the unit cost higher.
38'45" - 45k for the vacuum?!
@ 6'32" - 50K for an arm?
Nice
(An awed hush comes over the convention and someone says sotto voce) Herr Fremer has entered the building!
Love Thorens turntables. 1:43 This one is a tech wonder and the build quality is excellent. I have actually heard the early reference Thorens- stunner. That Natures PVC is a problematic business concept 😆. Everyone knows you just hook up a IV with PVC in it when you go to bed.🙂
Natures PVC as a substitute of Vinyl listening?
@27:21 Crikey! Was he beaten up by the local Mafia?
I heard Russia has good audio show in Siberia. You should go there.
Beavis and Butthead - classic 😊.
Thorens is running wild, good to see, hope they survive all this. I dropped as a kid into a bathtub of natures PVC. It really works I can now recitate 6 records a day by walking the groves on the road. The difficulty now is while I have no time to work and earn some money I have to pay the taxi to get me back to civilization every day, that’s some high expense. Clearaudio, well done, too.
Bought 300 bottles of PVC with 100 capsules each. That will take me through 180,000 records of my 1,350,000 collection. Great product Mike! My wife is happy as she doesn’t have to listen to my records and my language when setting and aligning cartridges.🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:50 It can only take 3 tonearms? For $70000 I wouldn't settle for anything less than 4 tonearms. You can never have enough tonearms attached to your turntable at the same time, I always say.
I'll take the original Thorens Reference thank you very much!
Priceless PVC Michael! You are the best!!
3:45 Pure comedy gold.
Michael your infomercial was pure Gold.....love it Sir!!!
Was very disappointed by the Thorens presentation. The overall qualitity was not bad, but the details were bad, one example, this flagship here with the anti vibration system had extreme sharp edges, the dials were very uncomfortable to touch and use. The other turntables hat heap plastic buttons and dials. This is not the way to go if you take 7500€ for a turntable.
I have MF A1. Its been great with my single driver 94db speakers. I really like Musical Fidelity. Its a company Ill always look at for Audio gear.
nice show coverage. Some really nice tables and arms. Appears both SAT and Kuzma have put a lot of effort into damping and controlling resonances originating from the cart as well as the outside environment.
I don't think these sales people are that good.
Hahaha ... Excellent ... I need Natures PVC .. take my money NOW 🤣🤣🤣👍
I'd love to know who actually buys all this expensive equipment and why do they play such crap music on them?
Far & few between, try to buy used 🤓
Must suck to have such a poor taste in music.
Do you guys have any powdered Pantera pvc?
That comedy stint with "nature's PVC" was hilarious 🤣, why you didn't go all the way with the comedian thing only you know! You could have been a comedic actor! But I'm glad you decided to be a journalist! Either way !
I would like to place an order for 500 bottles of Natures PVC and a jar of snake ointment for my arthritis, please.
I would like to place an order for 500 bottles of Natures PVC, please
Unaffordable
The turntables look amazing but prices keep climbing. Use to think $30k for a table/arm combo was crazy and now I see just arms are $50k. Prices for the rich. 😳 Thanks for the tour Michael 🫡
I don’t have money to fly to Munich. Can you please let us know when something like this comes to the Javitz center?
It's a pitty the distributor of Nature's PVC wasn't at High End Munich 2024
SELLOUT! You're just a corporate stooge for big PVC! 😉😂🤣
Prices are sickening, Attention folks, At such exuberant prices, only upward wealth transfer cult can buy these equipment. only tone arm costing $50,000 ! Good gracious Lord !
The high end turntable and first UK pressing sounds clearer and more defined that the Canadian pressings I grew up on. You can here all the guitar layers much clearer. That's just on UA-cam. Can't imagine what it sounds like live. Like the original Master Tape.
Thank you very much.
Someday, a brave show organizer will ban the playing of “Brothers in Arms.”
The theme of the show was "A fool and his money are soon parted."
@TrackingAngle I recently bought an original UK LIB aswell and what a treat to listen to this one on proper equipment like my Einstein Aerolith and this even superior GMT One you have. This pressing blows any vinyl (or CD) release of this album out of the water.
Silence Audio! You heard it here first folks!
24:20 sorry Mikey, dCS are very much English , not American.
❤Vinyl LIVES! ❤ Class! Thank you.
