I have to confess that I had been growing impatient lately, counting down the days until the opening of the main audio event in northern Germany — Norddeutsche HiFi-Tage. The fact that the city I live in hosts the second-largest audio show in Germany makes me feel fortunate, because it is a great opportunity, costing me practically nothing, to align my expectations and internal reference with what is considered top-notch audio reproduction today.

High End Munich 2017
The show is over, and I am going back home, guys. Sitting on a train at Munich Central Station, which should depart any moment now for Hamburg, I am trying to gather my scattered thoughts.
Norddeutsche HiFi-Tage 2017
Norddeutsche HiFi-Tage is Germany’s largest HiFi show after the Munich High End. It was held at the Holiday Inn Hotel in Hamburg from 4 to 5 February. I had never visited such a show before, and I was very curious to discover how some very expensive systems would perform and what is possible in terms of audio reproduction.
