Warsaw Audio Video Show 2025 Day One Coverage

The Stadium

A new Technics turntable—the SL-1200GME, a new Aspire from Polish turntable manufacturer J.Sikora, and a new Doshi Audio designed J. Sikora Reference phono preamp are this video's highlights—as far as new audio gear is concerned.

There was also a graphic exhibit from Zbigniew M. Bielak, the artist responsible for all of the fantasmagoric album covers for the Swedish metal group Ghost. Mr. Bielak was there and I interviewed him as he walks us through the exhibit. A must for Ghost fans and non-fans alike!

This year's Warsaw Audio Video Show was easily the best ever—and I've been going to this one for at least a decade. Aside from the new stadium section that opened to further expand the show, there was just more good sound throughout the show, especially and surprisingly at the Sobieski Radisson Hotel where most rooms are small.

The sound at the Golden Tulip Hotel was also better than usual for a few reasons that will be explained in upcoming videos because this one covers only the Stadium—or at least parts of the stadium exhibitions. There will be more in a future video.
