For those of you on here that have not seen this on another forum or are interested thought I would post this blog. The gentleman who does this appears to go every year and takes some wonderful photos. I know much of it is over priced bling but there are certainly systems shown I would love to hear and some amazing tt's that I am always drawn to.  The real photos of the show start on page 10, but I'm hoping the link I've shown comes out on page 7 since there are some wonderful shots of Munich centre and another page or two later the train station. One thing you cannot help but notice is how beautiful and clean the streets are compared to the uk, puts us to shame. www.my-hiend.com/vbb/showthread.php?12471-2019年德國慕尼黑High-End音響展實況報導-Munich-High-End-Show/page7 |

he is always very comprehensive isn't he? I'm sure there is some stuff he does not photograph but there can't be much he misses.
Have to say prefer Justin's report on AoS as he does provide some commentary as well, gets a bit dull just looking at 20 pages of piccies.
re the tidy streets I don't know if it is five decades of living in England or what but I find places with no litter a bit weird and un-natural, like walking around Disneyland. Last foreign place I went to (if you don't count Scotland) was Rome, and that was reassuringly filthy. So it isn't just Britain.

No, it's not just Britain Macca, seen plenty of 'shitholes' in the far east. I went to the Munich show 12 years ago, by all accounts smaller to what it is now, but it still took 2 days to go round then! I have spoken to Germans since, telling them how I found the locals friendly and helpful in Munich, and how clean everything was. The impression I got was Munich is very touristy and locals are well used to visitors, other cities in Germany might not be so tolerant.

Never been the far east or Africa but everywhere else the indigenous personnel have been pretty friendly. Exceptions - Paris and New York. Caribbean they can be a bit stand-offish until they realise you have no airs and graces and will have a laugh and a joke with them. They get a lot of American tourists there who tend to treat them like 'staff'. Although I'm generalising ofc.

The first cable lifter pictures are coming through from Munich. So far I think this one is ahead by a whisker:  |

Or are they? Maybe just the light. Note even the power cable has them.

Because they think that having the boxes any close together will introduce some sort of sound-degrading 'interference.'
Cables cannot touch the floor because the floor is made of lava.
When you think about it there are that many 'known unknowns' affecting sound quality it's a wonder anyone can get even a half-decent sound.

I’d be more worried about having the deck in the firing line of the speakers. |

Even though it might actually be a genuine problem. If you want to get rich selling high end tat how it works is first you come up with the expensive solution, then you invent the problem for it to solve. |

However, going from shorter to longer ic cables in my system did seem to make a difference for the better and one of the guys who did the same also reported the same. Could be something in it or we could just both be bonkers. |

Either a flaw in the cable design or the benefit of placing a greater distance between pieces of equipment with large transformers inside...would be my guess |

How dare you!!! Lol. Nah, the cables are rock solid matey, I checked them thoroughly, and the equipment didn't move for either of us. Odd I know. |
