Poland 2018

Warsaw, Poland's Audio Video Show has grown almost exponentially over the past 20 or so years. Today it's Europe's second biggest show (after Munich) and this year it expects to attract over 15,000 visitors in three venues: the Radisson Sobieski, the Golden Tulip and the skyboxes at the enormous Stadion Narodowy.

The enormity of the stadium plus poor signage led to first day frustration with AnalogPlanet editor Michael Fremer wasting more than an hour once at the stadium, first trying to find the entrance (!) and then the press room to pick up his badge.

There's no time to waste given the size of the show. This video is a "walk through" of the stadium rooms (most but not all) as well as the Jean Michel Jarre album premier over which the international pop star presided.

A new and improved camera had some lighting issues (operator error) but the next installment will look much better!

The top image is of a new made in Poland J. Sikora tonearm made of Kevlar. More about that in a future video

The video thumbnail image is of a skybox room where these young people enjoyed opera on a pair of Wilson Audio Specialties' new SashaDAWs. These produced the best sound I heard in the skyboxes.
