Turbenthal, Switzerland based HiFiction precision-manufactures Thales tangential tracking pivoted pick up arms, battery powered turntables and most recently acquired and now manufactures in-house EMT phono cartridges and a new MC step up transformer.
Founder-owner-designer Micha Huber is a trained watchmaker who applies his skills to making high precision vinyl playback products as you will see in this video shot just before Munich High End 2019 during AnalogPlanet editor Michael Fremer's whirlwind European tour following "Making Vinyl Berlin" at the end of April, 2019.
In this video you'll tour HiFiction's sunny, airy factory, watch the assembly of a top of the line Statement pick up arm and EMT cartridge assembly as well as what's involved in precise calibration of an EMT cartridge. At the end Fremer's attempt at adjusting an EMT cartridge's suspension might give you a laugh, but note his steady hands! Two more videos will soon be posted from this tour: a visit to GZ Media in the Czech Republic and Optimal Media in Röbel, Germany. So stay tuned!

I just gained a real appreciation for why these can cost so much. There is a massive amount of skilled labor to turn out one high end cartridge. Another fascinating plant tour.

I have so much respect for people that start their own business. Who else would report on this, if not Mikey Fremer? Thanks!

dunno if anyone cares but if you guys are stoned like me during the covid times you can watch pretty much all the new movies on Instaflixxer. Have been binge watching with my gf during the lockdown :)

@brantleygrey696 3 года назад

@Philip Jeremias Definitely, been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself =)

Great to see that someone still cares about quality in this day and age, Great work Mr. Huber.

“It’s never stupid to ask” never a truer word spoken! I am really enjoying this Michael. I only read the descriptio after watching ( I still have more to watch, I’m savouring this!) but when I saw the watchmakers benches I wondered if there was a watchmaker at work there!

@NickP333 5 лет назад

What a wonderful video. It’s such a treat to see a product made with such care and precision. I’m very glad to see a company continuing to keep making great HiFi components at that level of expertise. You’ve made my day, Michael. Many thanks to you!

Maybe if you haven't realized it by yourself, .......but all the Microscopes in that workshop are by LEICA Microsystems.........a Sister Company to LEICA Photo ( that is producing the world famous LEICA Viewfinder Cameras and Lenses....... both are absolutely WORLDCLASS QUALITY !!! So you could easily realize an what high level this guys are producing !!! Michael.....Keep on going with this series of production tours., please......they are super informative! Maybe their are coming German Manufacturers of Turntables soon too ?

Mikey's finger pressing against the cantilever was making me nervous.

Me too!!!!

The endless irony of Michael Fremer. Only you would show us the FACTS about hi FICTION. (What an odd name) 😊 but a really nice looking small business. That EMT tt was Sweeeet🙏 It is a pretty country though as another has commented. Great for summer vacations imaging the Von Trapps trotting across the verdant countryside (maybe a long run from Austria) singing they’re little hearts out.

AMAZING!!!!

@recordplayerz 2 года назад

Thank you for posting this video. Does anyone know what the putty material is, that cartridge makers seem to all use?

@ianmedium 2 года назад

It looks like Rodico which is similar to blutac but not greasy. It’s used in many applications in watchmaking. So not only watchmakers benches but also finger cots to add to a watchmaker vibe to the place!

@David12005 5 лет назад

The Swiss facility is impressive - both employees and technology.

Fett= Grease in English. So the Part is labeled "Gefettet", Greased

I wish the cowards who give this video a "thumb's down" would step forward and say what they didn't like, but they don't....because they are cowards.

Tuck Frump that’s not true at all. Only ones off subject or lies

Look at it this way, there's almost no RU-vid video without a small percentage of dislikes.

@mubodude 5 лет назад

They're just jealous because their hum drum life in in the Trump Reich is not as interesting as creation of art such as these components, multi level cultural levels ahead.

@mikrophonie5633 5 лет назад

Do they make a combination turntable/cuckoo clock?

@AnalogPlanet 5 лет назад

For you it would be a necessity.
