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.

UK loudspeaker manufacturer KEF held a series of events between October 1st and 7th called “KEF Week” and we thought it only right that we should send out a Hifi Pig scout to take a look at one of the events at Loud and Clear in Edinburgh.
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 […]

Linette has finished her “Birds Eye View” of the Munich High End Show and you can now read the final part of her report on Munich High End 2013. I’ve written Munich High End Show report Part 3 and Munich High End Show report part 4 but there is still much more to add […]
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 […]
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.

At Hifipig.com we have a lot to say about the Munich 2013 show, but I wanted to give you my views, as a first timer who isn’t a techy, doesn’t necessarily know all the science bit but knows a good sound when she […]
I have spent the last 3 months working myself into such a state of excitement about getting to grips with some Trios at the show that by the time we got there I was as uncontrollable as a fractious toddler who doesn’t know whether to wee themselves or throw their haribo on the floor in […]
