2015 : The year High End Munich turned Pink !

So, Stuart has filled you in on our adventures on the way to Munich.

Lin on the right with various members of the esteemed audio press.

We found ourselves at our hotel on Schillerstrasse, just a few minutes walk from the main train station.

At first glance this area is what might be described as ‘a bit dodgy’ ……there a more than a few ‘Gentleman’s Clubs’.

Stuart said that it might be fun to go and dance on a table but I didn’t think the regular clientele would appreciate that very much.

Actually the area is very safe, it’s a melting pot of different cultures and nationalities so it is lively, buzzy and there are lots of great places to eat.

We are really happy with our hotel, the H+ City Centre … the staff are friendly and efficient and the rooms comfortable and clean, we have managed to get ourselves a great base camp for this year’s High End Munich show.

Thursday dawns and after fortifying ourselves with a substantial breakfast we head off on the now familiar S and Ubahn route to the MOC and the show.

Now, we expected to run into lots of people that we know at the show this year but we were just not prepared for the overwhelming response that Hifi Pig got at the show …it seemed that everyone knew us.

This really was the year the High End show turned Hifi Pig Pink!

By the time we had checked our coats in we had already run into Norbert of Lehmann Audio and Armin from Avantgarde Acoustics but we have to dash for the first of many meetings with promises of meeting up later.

After the first appointment, which is the Devialet press conference (more from Stu on that later) we get the chance to really see some of the show proper.

My first impressions are that this is going to be a really big one.

There seem to be a lot of new (or new to me ) brands which I find very exciting …I always think that discovering something new at a show is one of the best bits, but I also love seeing what my favourite established brands have brought to the party.

Stay tuned for Bird’s Eye Views  a’plenty!
