Yes the DACs have the tops cut away to showcase the insides, most likely done as demo pieces....

I got that. I was referring primarily to the shape of the holes on the top sides of what I believe is the Premier (better design IMO).

OK, Mike after Post #43 you can call it quits. That was one hell of a amalgamation of gear in that group of photos.

Thanks guys. Hearing and seeing all the latest and greatest is how I stay on top of things.

The show starts tomorrow at 9am. Industry only day. I’ll do my best to also make it to the HiFi Deluxe show.

Thank you. It’s 8:35pm here. Had a busy day at the MOC and then a 3.5 hour walking tour on the rise of the Third Reich. Yes, not the most pleasant of subjects, but I’ve done most of the other tours.

Thank you. Show(s) start tomorrow. Was happy to spend two days at the MOC before the show (and crowds) started. Tomorrow, it’s the big show!

World Premiers - SAT table and arm. Had a good long chat with the designer. Pictures don’t do it justice. He wouldn’t commit to a US price yet. Cart is the Ortofon Century. Some talk about tables, we go listen!

Speakers are the new Marten Mingus Orchestra (est. $200k USD).

THIS is why I come to Munich every year.

Would love to hear this system with some other electronics. The acoustic guitar on the Alison Krauss album is so damn dry. I know this album very well.

Not sure it’s the slogan I would have chosen.
