I go every year, always on a Friday as it is much quieter. Head down for a wander, start at the basement and work my way up. Tend to nip out for lunch in town and then head back afterwards. The HMV in the centre has a good stock of records too if that's your thing. Always take a wander down there after.

Can't make it this year, but friends from The Audio Works are there with some very nice Accuphase gear and they're also supporting the Fyne Audio room with Accuphase, too.

Just got back. Joined the very long queue and headed straight to the top floor. Rooms were empty and most people tend to start at the bottom. I took my daughter who is studying Music Production and Music Tech and I wanted to show (listen) to just how good some hifi could be. Took a day off work assuming it would be quieter today than the weekend but it was still rammed.

Some very good demonstrations, I love PMC and Wilson Bensch. The Fyne room was brilliant, using Accuphase amps, filled the huge room. Dali also very good.

Didn t make it to the REL demo. Musical Fidelity was appalling, I m sure their Amps are good, but the speakers and source just made it sound bad, really distorted. Could be the room of course.

Had my setup on since I ve been home and I m genuinely still happy with my multiple Naim boxes and Focal speakers.

Pop in and say hello if you are coming ?

The Accuphase electronics on the LP12 sounds incredible. We have 3 systems on the go - attainable, achievable and aspirational.

First day was great. Very busy.....

How does this show compare to the Ascot one?
