I was thinking the same thing. The lighting is perfect.

Excellent photography in both lighting and composition...using bounch flash ?

Many thanks for the kind words. I'm only using prime lenses, large apertures and a steady hand :) The biggest challenge during shows are usually not the lack of light, but the mix of colour temperatues and various intensity.

Haha... Thanks Lloyd ;)

For the tech-freak, I'm using a Canon 5D MKIII with 24/35/50mm prime lenses + Lightroom editing from the hotel bed. I do like large apertures (usually around 2.0). No flash, no gimmicks :)

If you say so ;) Don't forget that I'm only a humble Swede. We never ever brag, not even the slightest. We even have a word for it - it's called "Jante" over here ;)

The brand new Gryphon Diablo 300 shows a lot of promise, replacing the current Diablo who's been one of the most successful integrated amplifiers on this level worldwide for over a decade. The new Diablo 300 comes with an optional DAC and Phono stage.

A nightmare to photograph, but a true joy to experience. The Wilson Benesch / CH Precision room is one of the most impressive at the show. Neither words nor photos can do the level of engineering and finishing of these magnificent products the justice they deserve.

Wilson Benesch was debuting their R1 rack series. I have to tell you that nothing comes close in relation to engineering, build quality and finish. I'm saying that with the deepest of respect for Stillpoints, SRA and HRS.

CH Precision has completed their C1-series with the new P1 phono stage, which looks as promising as everything else from this cutting edge company.

Both these companies are backed up by the nicest and most supportive people in the business by the way.

Do the Swedes say "Jante Plus" or Super-Jante? ;) Anyway, great, great photos. Thanks for taking the time. Do let us know when you heard the Gryphon 300...interesting!

There's "the law of Jante" i.e. never pretend or act to be better than anyone else... It's kind of nice in a humble way, or just plain weak if you will ;)

The new Diablo 300 is only on silent display. Hopefully I'll get one of the early units after the summer.

Absolare accompanied by Rockport Technologies has belonged to the strongest shining stars during the Munich show during recent years, with numerous "Best in Show" awards from leading reviewers worldwide. This year, Absolare debuts both their new monoblock (push-pull, 85W/8Ohm), but also a new two piece phono preamp that has been under development for several years. Cables (Echole) and resonance management (Stabilian) is also the fruit of Kerem Kucukaslan's solid work.

The result is a musical experience that breathes realism with a rare sense of naturalness. A wonderful contrast to the surprisingly large proportion of sterile and uninvolving systems at the show.

Boenicke is one of the smaller and most interesting European (Swiss) speaker manufacturers during recent years. What Sven (Boenicke) creates with his massive CNC-milled wooden cabinets is special. These are small speakers with a soundstage much larger than expected, which partnered with great dynamics and a very natural tonality creates a lifelike and very engaging experience!
