If you haven’t been to the show before then be prepared to be absolutely overwhelmed when you first step through the doors of the MOC. Really, nothing can prepare you for the scale of this event and no audio show we have attended comes close to matching the scale and breadth of Munich High End.

The organisation of the show by the High End Society is second to none and all credit must go out to the team in Germany.

Of course as well as this publication, which we hope readers will download and use for the show, we are also adding news to the Hifi Pig site on a daily basis and will be reporting from the show itself.

They also sell rib sticking food with Zum Augustiner a limited choice for vegetarians. Augustiner-Keller Beer in Germany comes in many styles and here’s the ones we’ve encountered most whilst we’ve visited. STYLES OF BEER IN BAVARIA

Weizenbier and Weißbier are the standard German names for wheat beer with Weiß meaning white. Hefeweizen is an an unfiltered wheat beer with "Hefe" being German for yeast. Linette is partial to this particular style of beer. Helles is a malty pale lager from Bavaria and is available pretty much everywhere. Pilsener is massively popular in Germany and is a pale and hoppy lager. Dunkel is a dark lager which comes in Bavaria is a sweet and malty. This is Stuart our editor’s favourite!

The MOC is in the inner district for the S and U bahn trains. If you are SHOW SHUTTLE traveling from the city centre to the MOC every day of the show, you can buy day tickets. The best value if there is two to five of you in a The High End Society are nothing if not hyper organised and they group is a three-day ticket for public transport that costs just under make it very easy for trade and public visitors to the show to get 30€ (3 tageskarte gruppe). You can buy tickets at the machines at the there. For trade and journos there is a bus service from the airport station or online here. and for public visitors they lay on a shuttle service to and from the MOC from several of their partnering hotels – and what’s better is it is Taxis are plentiful too, as you would expect in a major city and absolutely free to everyone. walking is always an option for those of a fitter persuasion.

There are four routes with the first taking people from their hotels (Best Western The K Unterfohring, Ibis Nord and Fleming’s Hotel Scwabing) to the MOC in the morning at various times and returning them in the late afternoon and evening. The second route does the same but to and from The Hyperion and Leonardo hotels. Route 3 takes visitors to and from the Park Inn Frankfurter Ring, The Rilano and Innside Munchen Parkstadt Schwabing. The final route includes hotels Suite Novotel/Ibis and again the Innside Munchen Parkstadt Schwabing. Head on over to the High End Society’s web page for full details of times and routes. GETTING AROUND MUNICH

The S and U Bahn in Munich is very safe, clean and easy to navigate. To get to the MOC by underground from the centre of Munich, you want to take the U6 line from Marienplatz, it’s easy to remember because you are heading in the same direction as the Bayern-Munich football stadium. Get off at Kieferngarten and then it’s a short walk to the MOC…follow the crowds. The trains get really busy around opening and closing times of the show and if there is a football match on it gets really crazy.

To combine the two drivers to achieve a flat frequency response and, more importantly, a slow even mid/HF roll off in the power HF UNIT response is a significant feat of engineering. There is no off-axis hole in the middle effect. The tweeter is an Air Motion Transformer (AMT) operating according to the principles developed by its inventor Oskar Heil. Developed and manufactured in-house by Mundorf with assistance from FinkTeam, the AMT has a strong, 25μm-thick pleated Kapton diaphragm with MID/BASS UNIT 50μm aluminium strips. This material has extremely good internal damping, resulting in particularly low distortion. A special etching process was developed to produce it and the diaphragm configuration As one would expect the mid-bass driver of Borg is custom designed optimized through a large number of tests. This was chosen by and manufactured exactly for the purpose. 10.25 inch mid/bass units FinkTeam for its low distortion and dynamic ability combined with a are relatively unusual and crossing them well to HF units is not trivial beautifully clean sound that suited the objective of accurate and fun. but FinkTeam is relatively unusual: a technical challenge is just a design exercise that may take a little longer to solve.

Coloration and time smear are reduced, stereo image focus is improved, and listener fatigue avoided. DISTORTION

Besides linearity and signal-to-noise the other key parameter the FinkTeam fight for is low distortion. Low distortion just makes it easier to listen for longer and for instruments to sound more natural. Compare brass instruments live to that reproduced by the average hi-fi system and to a system with low distortion and it’s clear that low distortion is far more natural.

Anyway, did Tellurium Q succeed? This is from the first review of the Ultra Black II interconnects Vs the old Ultra Black interconnects, “I So what is in store for the rest of 2019 have no idea what Geoff Merrigan and his team at Tellurium Q have and more specifically the Munich show? done to these Mark II cables and he is not about share that information with anyone. What I can tell you is that what they bring to Why not drop by and have a chat with a system is addictive and irresistible.” us in Hall 3 L03 if you can make it? Tellurium Q will be using a mix of the new Silver and Silver Diamond power cables along with the Statement power cables at the Munich show in May to illustrate how mixing the cables work. There will also be an uneven pair of Statement speaker cables used, 3m one channel and 6.5m the other. This will be in a cabin in Hall 3 L03.

Oh, we almost forgot, after three years of stop start work we have finally produced our first Din to RCA cable for turntables and released it now, it seems to have been worth the wait with the first person to evaluate the cable commenting, “One of those OMG moments…I haven’t heard anything as good, anywhere, at any time, for any price !”. Then they refused to return the cable to our distributor! Because of their unique nature Tellurium Q had to design and build a rig to burn in every single one of these tonearm cables for at least two or three days continuously before they can be shipped.

We do not take any of this success for granted because with each new or improved product there is that increase of pressure to do better which simply becomes a tougher challenge when you work transparently. Paradoxically, because we know enough to be unsure of what exactly can be achieved we can be sure that we will not sit still and rest on all the previous product awards.

I would highly recommend this $400 upgrade to anyone looking to take their Quintet15 Horn1’s to the next level, especially if they listen primarily to un-amplified music. Thanks so much for creating the Quintets with an incredibly easy upgrade path!
