Ulla Scheu of Scheu Analog had many reasons to be in a good mood as in the picture on the left. She debuted in Munich with her products as far as the participation at a High End show is concerned and had a very good start with some interesting contacts and even some orders right during the show.

She definitely proved those people wrong who - after her husbands tragic death in 2004 - had predicted that the company would disappear from the audiophile scene. Now Scheu analog is doing better than ever before with some new hot products and a new professionalised appearance.

In front of Ulla Scheu the new top turntable model of the company "Das Laufwerk No. 1" (the drive No. 1) a synonym for Scheu's new approach to their line of turntables. Up to three arms can be mounted to the unit. In fact Scheu is manufacturing different arm models so even three different Scheu arms can be used.

The photograph on the right shows the Scheu "Premier" a unit that - after the introduction of "Das Laufwerk" - simply isn't the top of the line product among the Scheu turntables any longer. On the Premier two arms are mounted: on the left side the "Classic" and on the right side the "Cantus". Both arms have their very special approach.

The last Scheu image shows a very special ultrasonic cartridge cleaning device mounted on a Scheu Premier together with a Cantus arm. This device already belongs to Hannl turntable cleaning.



Scheu Analog shared their booth with "Hannl turntable cleaning machines" a company closely affiliated with Scheu. Hannl also presented some new products and also had an overwhelming first time in Munich: Their new US importer simply flooded them with orders for their devices. The poeple at Hannl did a lot of demonstrations at their booth during the show like Grischa Drespa in the picture on the right.

Hannl offers a wide range of turntable cleaning machines in very different price ranges. On the right side in the left picture their top model "Aragon" can be seen. Being familiar with conventional cleaning machines and industrial electronics as well definitely helped to build the reputation of the company.

The image on the right shows a large variety of Hannl tuntable cleaning machines. Some of them are available in many colours like pink and flamingo called the "lady line" which got much interest and was even featured on TV during the High End.
