From Bedfordshire to Brooklyn, USA, for DeVore Fidelity Visit!

So on our recent travels to the States Wendy and I we had 1 spare day and I couldn’t think of anything better to do than drive over to Brooklyn to visit DeVore Fidelity so I sent John DeVore a quick mail to see if he was around and he was more than happy to accommodate us, to say I was a little excited to visit him was an understatement, especially as we would get to hear the DeVore O/References that we have on order for demo and are due shortly.   Please find the link below to t

dCS Audio Visit To Hear Their New Flagship Varèse System, Quite Astonishing!

Hi Everyone, So Billy and I were extremely privileged to be invite to dCS Audio on Wednesday to be one of the 1st in the world to hear the new 5 box flagship Varese music system.

It wasn’t

Introducing the new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy, Re-Imagining an Audio Legend, On Demo at HFL Shortly!

Hi All, I’m really excited by these new Wilson Audio Watt/Puppy’s as the original 8 iterations from 1986 - 2011 were before my time as a Wilson dealer but I know they were loved by so many so can’t wait to get our demo pair in the shop shortly for a good listen. These really could be the perfect Wilson speaker for the UK thanks to their smaller size, sitting below the new Sasha V but with all the latest tech from Wilson these really could be the perfect speaker for a lot of our custome

PMC Active Crossovers Now on Demo for Twenty5 2 Way Speaker Range!

Hi All, This is just a quickie to say that we have just recently installed the new Active Crossovers to a new demo pair of Twenty5.23i speakers, have to say it couldn't have been easier, just unscrew the back plate, unplug the old crossover with one plug and then plug in the new active crossover, screw it back on the speaker and job done, it really does only take 10 minutes. Then it is just a matter of connecting mains to each speaker and plugging in a source and you are good to go, ho

Our First Formula Junior Season Is Go, Snetterton Race Report!

Hi All, So here we go, our first season in our 1961 Lotus Formula Junior, this has certainly been quite a while coming as we bought the car around 3 years ago now but its restoration was much more involved than I could have ever imagined but that is all behind us now and we can look forward to seasons of amazing racing ahead of us. We did a couple of events at Silverstone towards the end of last year to really just shake the car down which it passed with flying colours so now it is tim

All Set For Our German Physiks Open Day Today!

Hi Everyone, Just a quick post to say that we are all ready for our German Physiks open day today, have to say both rooms sound really, really good, I think these speakers, although different from the norm, will really surprise people, I was listening to the Borderlands yesterday and the tonal balance is really hard to fault, gorgeous top end, open mid and really well defined bass weight, all very impressive. To keep the German theme we will be serving Bratwurst Hot Dogs for lunch, now

German Physiks Omnidirectional Speaker Open Day - 27th April!

Hi Everyone, It's time for our first Open day of 2024 and this one is something a little different as it is for a speaker brand we do that I have always loved but I'm sure a lot of people have actually never sat down and listened to, German Physiks, who are the world leaders in Omnidirectional Loudspeakers giving a very different presentation to a conventional speaker, not only are they very musical but be being an Omnidirectional design they give a huge soundstage recreating that music hal

Trafomatic Rhapsody 300B Single Ended Valve Amp Now On Demo In A Cool Colour!

Hi Everyone, As I've been writing these blogs over the last couple of weeks it has made me realise just how much new demo stock we have bought this year, scary stuff really, being a music lover and HiFi enthusiast running a HiFi shop really is akin to a drug dealer being addicted to heroin, it really is a dangerous and expensive business, bloody good fun though, there are just so many temptations out there. This is a great new addition to our range though I feel, Trafomatic Audio are a

YG Acoustics Reference Carmel 3 Speakers Now On Demo at HFL, Stunning!

Hi all, So everyone who knows me will know that I love speakers, without a doubt it is my favourite part of the HiFi Chain as I have said many times before, so as is becoming a common occurrence, when I was offered the chance to hear the new YG Acoustic Reference Carmel 3 speakers I jumped at it, I’m sure you know where this is going to end up. But before we get to that point the first thing that hit me was how pretty they are, the proportions being perfect for most UK homes, these rea

Great Racing at Dega!

Welcoming Heed Audio Back To Our Portfolio Of Brands!

Hi All, Have to say that I am delighted to now be able to add Heed Audio back to our range of brands we can offer as I have always been a big fan, not sure if anyone can remember but Heed where one of our first brands at HFL and we sold a fair bit of it with everyone loving it's very natural and unforced presentation, very valve like to be honest thanks to the output stage that Heed use for their amplifiers, but distribution changed hands and Heed kind of disappeared from UK shores for a fe

Accuphase A-48 Class A Power Amp and C-2300 Pre-Amp Now On Demo!

Hi All, Well I certainly have a bit of a soft spot for Accuphase and so do our customers as over the last few years they have become one of our most popular brands and rightly so for many reasons, firstly nothing is as well made as Accuphase, it is so beautifully engineered and built like a tank, you just have to do the knob test to see how well they are made, secondly they look absolutely gorgeous, I mean who doesn’t like a VU meter and most importantly they sound brilliant, very natural,

Fyne Audio Classic and Vintage Speakers Now On Demo!

Hi All, So I must admit that over the last 12-18 months I have really gone down the rabbit hole of a more traditional looking speaker design, mainly driven by discovering the wonderful speakers of DeVore Fidelity, so when Fyne Audio announced their Classic and Vintage range of speakers recently I was primed and ready to have a listen, you know where this is going don't you, yep so after hearing both ranges I was sold and ordered a pair of Vintage 5's and Classic 10's for demo and Fyne have

HiFi Rose RA280 Integrated Amplifier Now On Demo!

Hi Everyone, Another quick update to say that we now have the new HiFi Rose RA 280 Integrated Amplifier on permanent demo. I think it is fair to say that it's bigger brother, the RA 180 divided opinion on its styling, there was no questions on its sound quality but it is quite a busy looking amp, I liked it but I understand it wasn't the most conventional looking amp but the new RA280 has put that all right and simplified the design and features, it is basically a cut down RA 280 and a

New Bryston BP-19 Preamp Now On Demo!

Hi All, We have always been big fans of Bryston at HiFi Lounge, they were one of our founding brands and I have personally owned Bryston at home for 15+ years now and I still love it, they walk that fine line really well giving clarity, honestly and insight into any recording but with just enough warmth to keep the presentation natural and I still think in this crazy world of HiFi they give great value for money and peace of mind with their legendary 20 year warranty on analogue products.
