High End 2024 - The Munich Show, the Trade and B2B

High End Munich 2024. Once again, one of best organized audio shows in the world, with a wide spectrum of very high-quality audio solutions presented, and an excellent business environment. All perfectly complements this international trade show, making it highly valuable for all. A true "marketplace" for the audio industry in the best sense of the term. These are my first impressions.

audioXpress traveled to Germany to learn about the Pure Acourate Sound Project, which aims to create the lowest distortion sound in a listening room. The initiators of the Pure Acourate Sound project are Ulrich Brüggemann, Markus Grelka, and Ralf Höllmann. The partners involved in this unique system are Purifi Audio, Okto Research, GIK Acoustics, Klippel, Roon, AudioVero, Rose Handwerk, and Joachim Gerhard. Ahead of the presentation at the May 2024 Munich High-End show, audioXpress offers a preview of the project.

In the 2024 Glass Audio Special issue there’s Menno van der Veen’s TubeSociety TS-2022-OTL hybrid amplifier, and a Low-Feedback Triode Amplifier With Zero Output Impedance (ZOI) as DIY projects, designed by Tim Mellow and Peter Farrow. More great audio electronic articles by Rudolf Moers, Christopher Paul, and Dimitri Danyuk. Read about sustainable acoustical absorption, the Pure Acourate Sound Project, and The Neurochrome Story. And Andrew C. Russell concludes his High-Performance 60-Watt Class A Amplifier project.
