Oh dear…I visited Vienna high end last year in November. Going again this year. The rooms are way worse in terms of geometry (and acoustics) than in Munich. For hifi anyway.
.After Munich I see in the future Vienna vs Warsaw: The fight for number one...![]()
Yes, I will skip Vienna 2026 since it is in the middle of my holidays in spring which I like to spend in Greece...Munchen gone end of an era , best show i ve ever been by far
Probably end of an era then ..
I think i might go to warsaw then
Never really been , i did work a lot in poland .
Munchen gone,,, end of an era , best show i ve ever been by far
I am based in Ontario Canada - and wanted to say hi - I am super excited to hear the Cinnamon Galle this weekend at Toronto Audio Fest!It's a possibility, lets see if the right opportunity arises![]()
Thank you! we're sure the rooms from @Hearken Audio at Toronto Audio Fest will be very welcoming.I am based in Ontario Canada - and wanted to say hi - I am super excited to hear the Cinnamon Galle this weekend at Toronto Audio Fest!
BTW - I really liked what I heard with the Galle DAC - Matt @Hearkin Audio was super kind to let me select a couple of "torture tracks" and my goodness, it sounded like analog. This DAC is now top of my short list as next upgrade - I plan on spending more time with it towards the end of the year / Jan of next year.Thank you! we're sure the rooms from @Hearken Audio at Toronto Audio Fest will be very welcoming.
Hope you have fun!
As long as they do in Warsaw the introduction of the set-ups in Polish and not English it is just a local audio showMaybe then Warsaw, maybe not...the thrill is gone...
I own the Galle DAC and it is by far the most musically engaging digital device I've ever heard. AND Colin at GestaltAudio.com (@gestalt) is about the nicest person I've met in a 48 year journey through hi-end audio.BTW - I really liked what I heard with the Galle DAC - Matt @Hearkin Audio was super kind to let me select a couple of "torture tracks" and my goodness, it sounded like analog.

Hey, sorry so late to the party! I'm just getting used to this Forum and finding my way around it. Glad you loved the Galle at Toronto AudioFest. You can hear it any time.I am based in Ontario Canada - and wanted to say hi - I am super excited to hear the Cinnamon Galle this weekend at Toronto Audio Fest!
The Galle II DAC is "burning in/warming up" in my system as of last evening (Thank you, Colin!! @gestalt) My first impression was a slacked jaw, and I am a jaded audiophile in "the game" for 48+ yearsWe're not just designing DACs...
Electroacoustics (loudspeakers) are, ultimately, what drive me. It is the ultimate challenge, on almost everything, from materials, industrial, product and acoustic design, to psychoacoustics. Components to feed them and ultimately achieve a vision could be interpreted as a natural progression for some. Look at Aries Cerat and Stavros, for example. As long as you have a solid understanding of the fundamentals, and the predisposition to iterate and learn, nothing is out of reach. I've had the luck of studying, researching, publishing, teaching and working on areas that map extremely well, and gave me those deep fundamentals.
Of course we do partnerships. The industrial design of the Galle line comes from an architect and a designer couple. Some boards are manufactured for us by specialized partners. Some ideas for parts of the processing stack were provided by PhDs in digital processing. This is not a solo sport, and Cinnamon is surrounded by incredible people.
Dear everyone.yes
yes
yes
the truth is still out there....
