We Scandinavians seen too much White and silver over the last decade, but for some reason it seems to get on in the rest of the world, while we don't want it anymore 😅
Korean-made audio products are not widely known, and Chinese-made audio products are just beginning, but Japanese-made audio products have continued to develop steadily since the 1960s and reach today. By not competing with European and American products, they have steadily developed products at popular prices, so the sound quality is so excellent that music lovers have no trouble listening, and each brand, such as Yamaha, Denon, and Pioneer, has distinct characteristics. If you have to pay tens of millions of won for a set of audio, this is not a good idea. I'm a Korean.
someone could make some hardly flexing coil to fit it with audiosystem wires and shape em as crazy audiophile wants. and tell them that its allso inulation of vibrations😂
Thanks a lot for doing this, very very nice 🤠 It seems that a lot of the gear is set up only for display and not even playing, is that the case? Like D´Agostino seemingly just showing boxes, and not playing; B&W deep into some corners; was anyone playing music here?
The B&W was in a small room, played on the 805D4s, but not the bigger 801D4s. D'Agostino was closed demos and wasn't possible to get in unfortunately. :)
Since the collapse of the USSR, our industry and education have plummeted in favor of sick ideologies, today real electronics engineers are a dying species. Today, shape designers and marketers are doing well. As a result, you can go to the presented event and see beautiful things that cost 10 times more than they are worth in terms of how they play. Interestingly, the wonders shown are mostly beautiful, properly displayed in the store. When you buy them and put them in your house, they seem to be somehow ugly and tacky. Marketing rules
It's fashion. The looks are very important. It's like showing your new Lamborghini to your friends with a little Ford. I don't care but who can explain me, what kind of golden stuf is inside the equipment. Is it more than a few hundred pound/euro/dollar?
That looks like a nightmare and no fun at all. I'm often amazed this hobby isn't dwindling faster than it already is. But, quick, let me mortgage my house to grab that $80,000 phono stage with the gold knobs, because it did kind of look cool.
@@papschmooAgree. I've been at quite a lot shows over the years, and I don't think I've ever seen a show with so few people. But a lot of good gear anyway. 🙂
I've just got back from the Chester Group's Staverton Park Hi-Fi Show and they really messed that up this year with attendees having to walk past tables of hotel guest eating their breakfasts! @@Audiophilesdoteu
@@johnwilliamson7704 I'm curious how many end up buying after attending Axpona? I've been but it was 10 years ago, and I live in Chicago. We have a healthy audio scene here but there's very little discussion of the ultra-high-end. More the 'sane' high end and a lot of vintage. And by sane, I'm not meaning cheap, just not house-prices.
Funny how they seem to demonstrate with classical toot. When the majority don't listen to toot at home. Not saying they should use Doof Doof or elevator music. Just something more typical.
Yep. Tinkly, safe stuff, easy to reproduce and not taxing the system in any conceivable way. When a manufacturer demo's with death metal, they'll have my attention.
