High End Munich 2023 | Michael Fremer's Analog Show Coverage

From Fremer: Day one started with a 7 AM breakfast meeting with Mark Döhmann and his team to catch up and discuss turntable news—his and what had been announced we'd see at the show. Was worth getting up early for. The only show appointments/events I had on my schedule was a panel discussion with engineering great Jim Anderson and his wife and "Tonemeister" partner Ulrike Schwarz, this time not about his work with Patricia Barber. Instead the discussion was about analog versus digital and I was there as a participant not as a moderator.

At High End, these panels are often not well attended because everyone is busy doing business, especially on press days one and two, but we had pretty much a full house and the discussion was lively, informative and a great deal of fun. i think it might have been recorded.

Though analog coverage is the main focus, among the most amazing items I saw and heard was the Alieno 250D LTD MK2—a push pull 300B tube amp (not a hybrid) with a claimed output of hundreds of watts per channel! You'll see that in the video. Enjoy!
