Bruce Springsteen’s First New Single in 5 Years and it’s a Cracker 👍

Hi All, Being a bit of a Bruce fan it is always big news when he releases a new single, it has been 5 years since we last had new material from Bruce and his new single ‘Hello Sunshine’ really doesn’t disappoint. In all honesty when Bruce announces he is doing a solo album I’m always a little disappointed as I just love Bruce with the E-Street band, especially live, seen them around 85 times since 1985, but funnily enough I probably listen to Nebraska, Tunnel of Love and Ghost of Tom J

dCS & Constellation Audio Open Day - 27th April.

Hi Everyone, Time for another Open Day, this time 2 of the big guns together, dCS and our newest addition to our portfolio, Constellation Audio. Hear the dCS Vivaldi Stack + much more! In all honesty this was going to be a standalone dCS day with a Constellation launch day to follow but as so many people came our Wilson Audio day recently it seemed a shame to use the same electronics when we had something new in the wings so we thought this would be a good idea to give a re

The New Mcintosh RS200 + Amazon Alexa = COOL :-)

Hi Everyone, So I certainly love a gadget and have to say this is pretty cool, matching one of the oldest HiFi brands in the world with cutting edge Alexa Voice control, basically partnering an Amazon Echo Dot with the new McIntosh RS200 Wireless speaker allowing you to control it via speech, this really does feel like we are finally getting to what was portrayed in Back to the Future all those years ago It is all run totally wireless other than the mains of course but it was pretty s

McIntosh Announce the RS200 Wireless Speaker, On Demo Soon!

Hi Everyone, I just can’t resist McIntosh so when they announced their new RS200 wireless system I was straight onto the UK Distributor to order for one for demo which should be with us in a couple of weeks. It looks like McIntosh are looking to move on the wireless speaker market with the RS200 offering all kinds of connectivity and I would expect it to sound very good, especially with a sub hooked up to it, time will tell but for me personally I was sold on it as soon as I saw it, th

The New Focal Stellia Closed Back Headphones Now on Demo!

Hi Everyone, Well this one came out of the blue, last week Focal announced their new Highend closed back headphones, the Stellia, and today we had 2 pairs arrive, I had no idea they were this imminent but it is great news as from what I can tell this is a closed back version of the Utopia which I consider to be one of the best headphones currently available, so if Focal can get a similar performance from a closed back they are going to have a real winner on their hands.

The New Wilson Audio SASHA DAW Speakers Now On Demo!

Hi Everyone, So we all know that Wilson Audio makes some of the best speakers in world but I have a feeling that the new Sasha DAW holds quite a special place in the Wilson Audio speaker lineup bearing in mind that the initials DAW stand for David Andrew Wilson, the founder of Wilson Audio who sadly passed away last year, thankfully Wilson Audio’s speaker design has been left in the very capable hands of Dave’s son Daryl Wilson so I am really pleased to have one of the first pairs of these

Time For a HiFi Upgrade For The Van!

Hi Everyone, This is just a quickie regarding an upgrade I did for the van a couple of months ago but never got round to sharing it so here we go. Basically the sad truth is that although I am surrounded by some of the best HiFi in the world I listen to most of my music in the van, whether it is the hour a day I spend going back and forth to HiFi Lounge or when driving all over the country installing HiFi so when we got our new van I saw this as a great opportunity to take out the syst

Wilson Audio TuneTot Speakers Now On Demo!

Hi Everyone! Now I must admit that I am a bit of a speaker tart, I really do love speakers, for me it is the most important part of a system and it can also be the hardest part of a system to choose as it is the part of your HiFi that actually talks to your room which can transform how your HiFi Sounds so careful choosing is a must. Now I have always been a floorstander kinda guy, I always felt I was being short changed by a standmount speaker, well that was until I heard the awesome B

Hi Everyone, This is a real quick one just to say that the roads are very clear round here so it is full steam ahead with out Fyne Audio Open day. We spent all day yesterday setting up and we have now got 4 demo rooms running with a combination of Fyne Audio speakers ranging from £599 to £17999, I have to say that what impresses me most about Fyne Audio is that 10 months ago they hadn’t released any speakers to the world and here we are now with a full range and everything I hear from

VPI Turntables + Lyra and Kiseki Cartridges Now On Demo at HFL!

Hi Everyone, Well the Vinyl Revolution certainly shows no sign of slowing down I am very glad to say, as many of you know there really is some real magic with vinyl, not just on a nostalgia level but with the quality of sound, it just sounds right, hence why it has come back so strongly as to be honest it can be a bit of a pain, you get the odd pop and click, you can’t skip tracks easily and you have to keep getting up and down to change sides but besides all that we still sell more turntab
