High End Munich 2024—Tracking Angle's Day Two Coverage

Thorens is running wild, good to see, hope they survive all this. I dropped as a kid into a bathtub of natures PVC. It really works I can now recitate 6 records a day by walking the groves on the road. The difficulty now is while I have no time to work and earn some money I have to pay the taxi to get me back to civilization every day, that’s some high expense. Clearaudio, well done, too.

Hahaha ... Excellent ... I need Natures PVC .. take my money NOW 🤣🤣🤣👍

Priceless PVC Michael! You are the best!!

Thank you for another awesome video. Much appreciated.

Mikey, the ad on pvc supply in pure genius. Your vinyl Renaissance glory keeps going. Shame this year I did not come across you in Munich, maybe in 2025 then. Thank you and keep rocking

3:45 Pure comedy gold.

The cover on the Rega Naia makes it more appealing to me as my home is too dusty not to use a dust cover. Yay. Good stuff Micheal

Love Thorens turntables. 1:43 This one is a tech wonder and the build quality is excellent. I have actually heard the early reference Thorens- stunner. That Natures PVC is a problematic business concept 😆. Everyone knows you just hook up a IV with PVC in it when you go to bed.

The turntables look amazing but prices keep climbing. Use to think $30k for a table/arm combo was crazy and now I see just arms are $50k. Prices for the rich. 😳 Thanks for the tour Michael 🫡

Natures PVC, I just about fell out of my chair Michael...you crazy bastard you!

As much as i love the beauty and extravagance of some of these turntables , one has to eventually come to their senses that there's only so much one can do to improve on the medium of a needle scratching plastic .

Awesome Video Michael

Unaffordable

nice show coverage. Some really nice tables and arms. Appears both SAT and Kuzma have put a lot of effort into damping and controlling resonances originating from the cart as well as the outside environment.

Reinventing the wheel......over & over & over & over .........

That Clearaudio unipivot arm at 45:55 uses a magnet to to (try) and stabilize the arm. Magnets are springy and i saw a quite high resonant frequency when excited. I wonder how that would fare in a heavy bass situation or on a non-suspended turntable design.

I'll take the original Thorens Reference thank you very much!

I love seeing new things. Thank you. Most of this new equipment seems to be more an exercise in artistic design than anything else, especially the turntables. I see the tone arms and many remind me of the technology they used in the kiddie record players. Some have moved up to curved tubular tone arms, which is old technology, but the high-end turntable manufacturers realized the superiority of the design many decades ago, like my late-40's Capehart flip-over changer has. State of the art way back when, I fondly look back on the Empire turntables. The Japanese manufacturers saw the light, again, decades ago. Interchangeable head shells and "S" style tubular tone arms. The Technics SL-1200 took the industry by storm many years ago. Loved by both audiophiles and DJ's, the style is timeless and hard to beat. So, you take a company like Technics, who has done and tried everything, decides to re-introduce the SL-1200, doing many tweaks, and what do they use for a tone arm? The "S" style tubular tone arm like the original. They could have done anything and issued a new turntable which they still labeled SL-1200, but instead of doing like many other manufacturers and making something with Frankenstein styling or looking like someone put it together in their garage at home, they stuck with tradition and with what works. No, I just can't grasp onto why someone would pay a small fortune to play a $3. piece of plastic.

I recently ODed on Nature's PVC and now completing the design of the Nebula DD TT haha!!!

Michael your infomercial was pure Gold.....love it Sir!!!
