The National Hi-fi Show ' 10

Is there such a thing as a best day to go?

 

wow these guys really pay a lot to have their stuff heard.

 

there you go, they should pay us but they are poles apart from us, heads in their pockets, stilllife goes on,

 

That is less than it cost for a bedroom at the Heathrow Hotel in the late 90's Autumn show under the auspices of Hi-Fi News Magazine.

Chester Group are not doing a rip-off.

 

Sunday if you are buying as very often exhibitors will sell off dem stuff at the end of the show so as not to have to load up and take it back with them.

 

Just discovered a couple of days ago they are running a shuttle bus service from Milton Keynes Station - price one whole £

 

Bus is good as the Hall is a bit off the beaten track.

 

thanks Richard.

watch out for the lovelly pony's

 

I would have thought they would have advertised it by now, so I will do it for them Simon and Rob are in - S14

 

Thanks Richard. I didn't know Chester Group had updated their website already, I only called them yesterday!

I'll put together a post in the trade announcements section soon. I need to get some other stuff sorted right now though.

 

Rob told me :boughtMF:

 

How lucky you are to have your HIFI shows .Australia is a hifi desert .Most of the real Stero shops have closed or cut back. but every thing is not lost we have a Milton
Keynes in Tasmania about two men and a dog no HIFI show there. Noel W.

 

You had Surya Moorthy :crazy: what more could you ask for

I tell you what, you sponsor me and I will move the company there tomorrow - I love the place - gods own country is the right name for it, even with Australians living there.

simon, what stuff do you need?

 

just had mr bird's tariff fees of entry to E.Mcevoy's show £29.00 per person inc. one complimentary drink.

 

I'm going - my first ever HiFi show - what should I expect?
I only have a very basic system, purchased 15? years ago - Marantz CD player (CD67 to replace my broken 63SE), Arcam Alpha 5 amp and Mission 751 speakers, with iPod dock (recording Lossless of course!) but I'm now beginning to look at ways to improve things...with a very limited budget...

Si

 

to expect?

things of varying .... I wanted to say performance, but will stick with ''sonic signature'' - with no apparent correlation between sound and price.

quite a few ''one trick pony's''
quite a few plainly outrageous or ridiculous things.
the odd jem.

 

How about my DAT2, Nando's amplification and your speakers? Plus a few DACs . . . I was toying with the idea of a room share myself . . .

 

I've decided to fund my own room, thanks. I can see it getting a bit sticky having more than one party trying to show-off their kit.

I think I will be using:
