Bird’s Eye View Part 1 – This Year’s Trios ?
Last year was my first ever High End Munich Show and I did indeed get myself quite worked up at the prospect of hearing Avantgarde Acoustic Trios for the first time.

High End Munich – Newcomers for 2014
The newcomers part of Munich High End is a great idea and gives those company’s that are relatively new to the industry the opportunity to showcase their products without having to shell out huge amounts of cash for a stand or room proper. It’s a great thing that the High End Society does and I […]
Scalford Hifi Show 2014
Spring is in the air! – well, at least it seems to be thinking about it after a mild but horribly wet winter here in the UK. So it’s time for the annual enthusiast’s show at Scalford Hall in the depths of the Leicestershire countryside in the UK, this being the Show’s 6th successive year.

Haute Fidelité Hifi Show – Paris 2013.
The Haute Fidelité show was a great success for us, not least because this year we actually managed to catch our train and get there in one piece. It’s a really good show it has to be said and members of the public who attended are clearly very passionate about their two channel replay and […]

Salon Hifi Paris 2013 A Bird’s Eye View
…where Linette gives a very female perspective on the show…. Great to be back in Paris again, doesn’t seem a year since the last one! Mr HiFi Pig of course is doing a much more detailed report, but you know me, I like to have my say too so here are my top stand out […]
Salon Hifi and Home Cinema 2013 – Paris
We really enjoy the Salon Hifi Home Cinema et Technologies d’Interieur and yesterday’s event was no exception. An early (3am) start and a long journey home to rural Brittany makes it an exhausting day but it’s well worth the effort.
National Audio Show 2013 – Whittlebury – Part 2
So, continuing on around the National Audio Show at Whittlebury Hall, this gold-plated “Garrard 301” turntable made by The Classic Turntable Company managed to catch my eye with no problems at all in the Kralk Audio room! It looked stunning in it’s beautiful wooden plinth. Shame they hadn’t got one of the gold SME arms […]
National Audio Show 2013 – Whittlebury – Part 1
National Audio Show 2013 – Show Report What a great Show it was this year! Now well established in its countryside setting of Whittlebury Hall in the gently rolling agricultural landscape of southern England, it was another excellent show managed by Roy Bird and the Chester Group. Lots of interesting new product sounding good, and […]

Munich High End 2013 – The Final Report
The Final Report Well there’s a massive amount to see at Munich High End and there’s no way that we could have hoped to have visited every room and every exhibitor but we did see a lot and we did manage to spend time listening in many of the rooms. Overall we thought the show […]
Munich High End 2013 – Show Report Part 5
In part 5 of the show report from Munich High End 2013 we have a listen to the new Gryphon Audio Trident II loudspeakers, have a chat with Norbert Lehmann from Lehmann Audio and have a chat with newcomers Van de Leur who are launching a new valve pre and class D power amp. We […]
Munich High End 2013 – Show Report Part 4
We’ll come back to the main listening rooms in the next installment of the show report from Munich High End but in this part we’ll look at some of the exhibitors who had taken static stands and were not actually playing any music or we were unable to get a listen. There is some stunning […]
High End Show Munich 2013 – A Bird’s Eye View. Part 3
Bird: UK slang meaning a woman/wife/girlfriend, synonyms: broad, chick, dame, girl, lass. ‘Turn it up, bring the noise’ It’s Saturday already so time to pack our bags, eat another huge breakfast and set off for our last day at the show. The fantastic staff at the NH München Deutscher Kaiser are looking after our bags […]
Munich High End 2013 – Show Report Part 3
In part 3 of my coverage of the Munich High End there were a few surprises in store for me and not least in the guise of the Living Voice room which completely turned around my opinions on the company’s loudspeakers, so perhaps this is where I should start.
