Munich Hi-End 2019 Photos and Commentary
After connecting in Charlotte, I landed in Munich about 6am local time (midnight Eastern).
It’s currently almost 2pm here and I’m headed out to do some sightseeing. It is very cold. When we landed it was 32 degrees F.

Mike,
You are so lucky. You are going to get to hear the debut of the new MSB M500 monoblocks. I saw the system MSB is sending over on their Facebook page and they are going all out. MSB Select DAC and Transport, MSB M500 monoblocks and Magico M6 speakers. Please give a full report on this amazing system when you listen to it.
Thanks,
Ken

Re: Munich Hi-End 2019 Photos and Commentary
Totem Acoustic has had some innovative speaker designs with excellent performance over the years, and they'll be introducing their latest Element V2 models in Munich:
Totem launches Element V2 @ Munich High-End Atrium 4.2 F206
Some bold claims being made, could be worth a listen for those attending...
"Vince Bruzzese, Totem's chief designer says "Now the Element Metal V2 can justifiably hold its head proud amongst the most expensive loudspeakers on the planet and the Element Fire V2 is the finest monitor anywhere."
The Element Metal V2 and Element Fire V2 are available now with MSRPs of $15,500.00 and $7,000.00 USD, respectively.

If you take any CD (16/44) and upsample it, you can get the benefit of using better filters that the brick wall filters used in the past. When you do that with older recordings you may get higher...
