It strikes me I am not being too kind to some of the gear. Let's just say it is a lot better in Munich than Whittlebury or Bristol.
Just thought it important to make that point, irrespective of prices, which on average are way higher in Munich, obviously.
Anyway, this was a really interesting contrast at the show. What none of the systems can do is capture the real sense of air coming out of these instruments when you are close to them. It is like you can almost feel it.
It was like they were saying "here you idiots, this is what the real stuff sounds like".
YouTube just won't fess up to having the Albedo video despite it having been uploaded 3 times. Curious. Time may cure this.

It never ceases to amaze me how bad the majority of systems being demonstrated at shows sound and how horrific looking some of this kit is!.
I feel completely disconnected with the direction that the industry has taken. I wonder who is buying this stuff nowadays?
