Yosuke Koizumi, 36, who took over the ART 1000's final production supervision brought some of his 45rpm collection on the second day of my visit...perhaps to assure me that he's way into vinyl and not just doing a "job”.

Analogplanet reported from Munich's High End 2016 show on Audio-Technics's "evolutionary" new ART1000 phono cartridge.

An IKEA IVAR shelf full of records came tumbling down a few weeks ago. Fortunately no records or people were injured. The shelving was old, the records heavy, and the glue failed that had held together the upright’s cross members. (Photo show a pair of Pryma headphones from Sonus Faber. Beyonce worse a pair in the "Lemonade" video.) I thought I'd monitor the show in style.

Register to win the Intervention Records catalog (seven LPs with a retail value of $248) we are giving away.

According to the company:

"Intervention Records is the NEW antidote for the same old reissues of the same old albums! IR exists for one simple reason, to produce archive-quality LPs of music we love! Intervention's sonic goal is that each record we do must be the definitive, go-to version of that album, the must-have edition that real music lovers will seek out. "
