The largest exhibition of audio equipment in Europe is behind us so we are getting back to normal operation. Before this happens, we wrote a small summary of the whole event. The form of our reports is forced by the size of the exhibition. Even before exploring the MOC halls we came to the conclusion that it's impossible to see it all, but we tried nevertheless. We could of course focus on ten, twenty or thirty rooms with the most anticipated new stuff or just the most expensive equipment, but what kind of report would it be, if you have hundreds or thousands of companies and you only pick a few dozens? So we hope that our gallery at least allows you to catch the climate of High End and see some interesting devices. For now all the photos have been posted, also on our profile on Instagram. If you are interested in our impressions of the exhibition, if you were out there somewhere or you want to go to Munich next year, we hope it would be an interesting lecture.

Langer Audio is a company manufacturing direct drive turntables. German engineers rely on measurements and everything that can be clearly heard. During the development of new solutions they perform blind comparative tests, which is still a rare thing in this industry. Their machines still look sexy though. Well, they're turntables after all!

Kronos Audio, a company which made just one high-end turntable, unveiled a new model called Sparta. If you expect that this is just a board with a motor and simple arm, it is not so. Sparta is very similar to the original Kronos. Anyway, just look at the picture. The price initially set at $21500. Photo by Kronos Audio.
