Made in Italy and with an unusual aesthetic, the Mya speakers from Nime Audio certainly look the high-end part, but what do they sound like. Stuart Smith cocks an ear to these €12500 beauties.

The Road To High End Munich
Hifi Pig have been going to the High-End show in Munich now for six years. The first couple of years we attended was a bit of an adventure as we took the overnight train from Paris – even getting to Gare l’Est Paris from rural Brittany is a bit of a hike and if you […]

I was really pleased to receive a call from Italian brand Monrio a few months ago asking if we’d be interested in reviewing one of their amplifiers as I’d owned one of their preamplifiers many years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Paul Carrack- The Festival Theatre, Edinburgh
I can still remember the first time I saw Paul Carrack. It was on Top Of The Pops way back in 1974 singing How Long with his band Ace. It was their only hit but it has become something of a radio classic, the type of song that makes you stop whatever you’re doing and […]

The Bristol Hifi Show 2019 Report – Stu’s Views
People queuing up to get into the Bristol Hifi Show well before the doors open can only be a good sign for the industry. Overall this year’s show seemed very busy, with a good mix of singles and couples in attendance. On the downside, there were only two of the three lifts working which was […]
