  • Explosive worldwide vinyl record sales growth over the past few years produced a powerful response from the audio industry, based on what was on display at High End Munich 2022. A profusion of new turntables, tonearms, phono preamps and accessories spread throughout the sprawling 28,000 meter MOC Event Center made difficult covering it all even with four days available to do it.
    According to the High End Society, 19,767 visitors attended the world’s largest audio show held in the MOC Event Center. 450 companies from 40 countries, representing 800 brands exhibited at the show-the first in two years following the Covid pandemic that while diminished has not yet ended. A few unlucky American exhibitors tested positive following the show and are still overseas in quarantine.
    The first video, which runs an epic two hours, includes news from Pro-Ject, Graham Engineering, Ortofon, Thorens, Thiele Wilson-Benesch (which for the first time exhibited a working version of its GMT One system), OMA, Transrotor, DS Audio, Mobile Fidelity, Vertere, Einstein and Technics.
    Pro-Ject displayed a 3 arm direct drive “design concept” as well as a jagged looking Metallica licensed turntable and touted its move towards balanced phono connectivity and preamplifiers. Transrotor, one of a number of companies once reliant upon SME tonearms, introduced a pair of “home grown” fully-realized models. DS Audio showed its incredible eccentric groove centering device, while Mobile Fidelity introduced the new Allen Perkins designed Masterdeck turntable and tonearm both of which have more than a little bit of Spiral Groove DNA in their designs and industry veteran Peter Madnick’s intriguing new phono preamplifier. Vertere’s Touraj Moghadden showed off his latest top tier arm and a new clamping system that allows him to install a cartridge, fully set up the arm and ship it anywhere in the world as an almost “plug and play” item.
    There’s a great deal to see and hear in this long form video and shortly there will be another also filled with new designs from familiar and new manufacturers entering the already crowded newly revitalized analog playback arena. This is the best time ever for vinyl enthusiasts! Enjoy the show.

    As an Audio component manufacturer, it’s important my son carries on my business if he so wishes to when I am no longer able. However, he is deaf. Despite this he is able to hear very well thanks to ortofon Baha hearing aids he has, I can’t thank them enough for their amazing technology and how it’s changed my sons life.

    Munich seems to have become a showcase for all that is wrong about the industry. Loads of bling kit, much of which probably sounds little better to any reasonably priced equivalent at a fraction of the price. It’s ludicrous just how expensive some of this stuff has become and for me, a humble audio engineer, it brings our passion into disrepute without offering anything new or groundbreaking . For all that, it is still interesting to see this, so thank you Mr Fermer, your efforts are appreciated.

    Thanks for the tour, Michael. That turntable and linear tracking pivoted arm by Mr. Theile looked pretty interesting. I enjoyed your quote: - “The brass plugs are not “bling!” 🤣 MoFi’s new deck looked really nice, especially with those adjustments on the headshell and the build quality looked fantastic. Technics certainly has designed an amp which I’m sure many people will want the phono pre as a separate. Thanks again, Michael.

As much as many may cringe at the thought, any thoughts on a modern high quality fully automatic turntable? I bet that there is a market for that. Would love to know what others might have to say on that.

I own the Technics SL-1200GR and I will upgrade to the 1200G at some point. I’ve fiddled with other turntables for many years before settling on Technics as my forever turntable. It really is the every man’s turntable!

    Mikey, good analog coverage as we have come to expect. Your position allows you to elicit information and "scoops" from the principals of the companies you talked to. I watched til the very end and was particularly interested in your conversation with the Technics representative. Your question about a standalone Phono DSP was of interest to me since I have been using such a product for the past few years. You may not remember me, but I spoke to you at CAF 2021 last November and specifically asked if you would review the Parks Audio Puffin - a DSP based phono preamp that does many of the things the Technics product does for a mere $500. I continue to hope you will give the Puffin a fair hearing and bring it to the attention of your readers. I believe the Puffin to be the most significant phono product to be produced in the last several years regardless of price.

    As a special added safety feature designed to make sure the right people are using the D'Agostino Epic Power Amp, it comes with a patented Initiation circuit. In order to power up the Epic you must first light a 100 dollar bill and hold it to the Initiator Bling Sensor and voila, the unit comes to glorious life! The Initiator is specially calibrated to sense the unique chemical composition and burn temperature of the 100 dollar bill. No other bill will suffice! Now listen to your music safe in the knowledge that you are protected!

    In reference to something i heard at 7 & a half'ish minutes into the video & elsewhere from sellers & manufacturers about a "need" for fully ballanced tonearm leads to fully ballanced phono stages to ballanced pre'amps to ballanced poweramps to cancel hum. (btw, I have a pseudo ballanced pre'amp that sounds awful into my fully ballanced poweramp but far better via it's unballanced alternative RCA phono out, i never use it as i bought a far superior non ballanced valve pre')
    Am i abnormal? Because i just dont get any hum at all, ever, never, at least none i can hear on either one of my 3 non-balanced tonearm leads into either of 2 non-ballanced phono stage into non-ballanced valved pre'amp to fully ballanced poweramp (the only 'real'
    ballanced item i do have, so i must use RCA phono plug to XLR plug'd leads from pre to fully ballanced Jungson 99C poweramp when playing any of my 3 low output (0.15mv, 0.3mv & a 0.4mv) M.C. cartridges without getting any hum (1 is a AT33 mono M.C.)
    One of my phono-stages is a solid state Dynavector P75 mk3 & the other is a fully valved inc' power supply 2 box "Icon Audio" phone-stage with switchable 10:1 ratio step-up transformers for M.C. i have 2 t/tables set up & one is a luxman PD444 that holds 2 switchable output tonearms, (a 10" inch 'arm & one 12" inch 'arm) so with 3 arms permanently wired up, i use both phono stages for no-fiddling mono or stereo cartridge play & cart' change according to mood from 3 'arms on the 2 decks & never a hint of hum.
    My point is, considering all the convoluted lead routing, i've never once ever been plagued by hum except when a tonearm earth lead becomes unattached or when a phono to pre'amp lead needed replacing to get rid of an intermittent earth break hum with sealed phono plugs i couldn't re-solder. I don't see any point in a ballanced tonearm lead & ballanced phono'stage or ballanced pre'amp. is it all marketing hype to fix a non-existant problem? I see it useful only for very very long t/table to phono stage to pre'amp to poweramp runs or any combo of (which makes science-backed sense) but for living room stereo with equipment on one or two adjacent shelves, is their a need for ballanced gear? I cannot hear that need, nor ever have done with all my previous equipment ive ever had, that never needed more than 1.5 metre interconects. (bar speaker leads) I understand common channel noise rejection but never had common hum except when an earth wire gets unattached or when an earth loop occurs & both can be easily fixed & hence silence any hum. I don't get the need for ballanced gear. Call me dumb but i refuse to fix non existant problems of common mode hum that i've not heard or that i've fixed sometimes by removing an earth & sometimes by adding an extra earth to a chassis or even a tonearm base once. Msrketing hype?

    Hopefully that linear tracking, pivoted arm has all the strengths of both instead of all the weaknesses. I've found that using fiber record cleaners by moving the brushes toward the label means that the dust will ultimately migrate back to the record. It's better to move the brush off the record.

    Heres something for you to try to remove static, try taking a 2cm strip of tinfoil, make some tears to wrap around the tonearm 2cm above the cartridge, and shape the remaining tinfoil just high enough that it doesnt touch the record, so it looks like a small comb behind the cartridge(Perpendicular to the tonearm) the idea here is to discharge static before it gets chance to discharge at the needle-grounded through the tonearm.

    The DS Audio record centering device is really interesting and could be a very big gamechanger, but if it requires reaming out the holes of my records I don’t know that I would be interested. I’d more like to see a turntable made to work with this with a removable spindle, or maybe even a magnetic spindle that can “slide” with the vinyl from the true center of the platter

      - lots of beautifully constructed tables and arms - one should not forget Edgar Villchur's AR Turntable which had better immunity to feedback and less rumble than many tables. Was Wolf Von Langa there? He's one of the few I know of who has worked with Karlson stuff. (my hobby)

      If you happen to have a copy of an LP that is absolutely perfectly centered, you are correct.
      Almost no LP is, and the result of centering the side is instantly audible in sustained tones, it's not even close.

    As far as that interview with Technics guys, I honestly don't mind digitizing amps and turntable signal,,,,as long as it is bringing us closer to the original music. But I also respect and like the good old pure analog sound and electronics. Not all analog is great just like not all digital is $#!t. Technics has brought back some great products yet somehow, they are missing something. I understand the new direction for the company, love how they kept the recognizable products and hallmarks that made them legendary ( big VU meters ) yet somehow i haven't yet bought into any of latest stuff ( I have like 20 vintage Technics components ). Would love to see not only a separate phono preamp but for instance better designed reference speakers, nice big mono-block power amps, reference CD player and network player. That is what will put them in the game with big boys, big name brands ( McIntosh comes to mind, Classé, Audio Research, Mark Levinson, .... that is what premium is! Also, Technics was great on accessories, get us some stands, cables, furniture...thet is what aficionados will buy into. That is what brand followers need.

    Turntable design is impressive as art. How can CD players compete? Simple, when one has 2,500 SACD/DSD/CDs of mainly classical music the investment has already been made and a competing system is not in the cards. LPs cannot compete with the huge variety of SACD/DSD/CD releases within classical music. Michael Fremer is the king of the earthly Analog Planet - keep up the good work of promoting LPs!
