Thanks Mate, Yeah I love this car, the ultimate Lotus, well till I can afford an Eleven or Fifteen one day.

Hey Chris, As it was so cold that was to help keep the engine temps up 👍 Hopefully for the rest of the year we won't need it. Thanks Andy, yeah Snett isn't my favourite but any track is good fun isn't it, Cadwell Next, then Donington and Silverstone, I'm missing Spa and Oulton unfortunately as got a couple of Springsteen gigs lined up.

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 time to get stuck in and see what we can achieve in this amazing little single seater, it still blows my mind that it has been racing for over 60 years, this car really has seen time change through the decades. Friday Testing So our first event of 2024 is at Snetterton in Norfolk, the home of Lotus, so a home race for our 20/22, I have to say I have never been a big fan of Snetterton, it always seems to be wet and cold there, in fact I first went to Snett to test the Radical SR1 we had just got in 2018 and the day was snowed off and it hasn’t got much better over the years to be honest. I was certainly keen to get back in the groove asap on Friday though, our first run was around 10am and as soon as I sat in the car it started to pour with rain, with the afternoon and Saturday race day looking dry I decided to sit out the 2 morning session as I felt I wasn’t going to learn much and didn’t want to damage the car in anyway. So I had lunch and by the afternoon it was dry and the sun way out but it was still really cold and windy but I jumped in our Lotus and drove down the pit lane for my first test session of 2024. Now to my surprise I really didn’t enjoy this session at all, it was like I’d forgotten how to drive, this really surprised me as I was pretty happy with my pace for the Silverstone races but here I really felt like a duck out of water, all I could put it down to is that I have only driven a van for the last few months so it was a bit of a shock to be sat in a lightweight, super responsive and fast race car , another contributing factor was the really strong winds, with gust up to 80kph the car felt like it was about to take off, it only weight 400kg’s so when a gust of wind hits it you really feel it and it was at its worst down the back straight where you are going the fastest, it was so scary I was afraid to take my hands of the steering wheel to change gear as the car was darting left and right when the wind hit it, not a pleasurable experience at all, I was so glad when I saw the chequered flag and the session was over. So I came in after the 1st session really disappointed in myself and my severe lack of pace, I was even wondering if it was time to hang up my helmet, had I lost it, you do hear about it being like a switch and you know when that time comes, but I gave myself a good talking too in-between sessions and went out again for the last session of the day, what a transformation, the wind had died down slightly and I knew to expect it which helped a little, in the end I went 15 secs a lap quicker than the session before and started to feel comfortable in the car again, maybe there is still life in the old dog yet. Saturday Qualifying and Race Day! So today was predicted to be dry and less windy and even though when driving to the circuit it was pouring down once there it did remain dry all day which was a real bonus. So now it was time to qualify, my best time yesterday was a 1 min 35 second lap so in my head I wanted to get down to a 1:33 or so, in the end my very last lap was a 1:31.369 which put me 11th on the grid out of 22 cars, so bang in the middle of the pack but I was delighted with that time, the funny thing is the faster you go doesn’t feel any harder than when going 5 seconds a lap slower, all very strange. Fastest Lap of the weekend Please find my last Qualy lap below and fastest lap of the weekend, it still amazes me how slow it looks on camera, in the car it really does feel much faster, watching it back I'm thinking to myself what are you doing, looks like you can walk faster. The Race So after sitting around for 4 hours it is time to jump in the car and perform, now I was a bit worried about getting of the line as we have standing starts and that is not something you can really practice so we took our positions up on the grid and I sat and waited for the red lights to come on, I then upped the revs to 5000, the lights went out out and I lifted the clutch and we were off, so job one was complete, I didn’t stall, then I realised it was actually a rubbish start and I dropped from 11th to 14th by the 1st corner but I fought back to 10th but I stupidly let the car behind me through towards the end thinking it was the leader lapping me but it wasn’t and I could get back passed him, I was so annoyed with myself as I felt 10th was were I deserved to finish but if someone had told me at the start of the weekend I would finish 11th I really would have taken that, especially after the awful start on Friday. So that was weekend 1 complete and I felt it was a great success as still so much to learn with this car, it is such a different animal to anything I have driven before but when you are in the groove it really is an amazing experience, so responsive and you are just a few CM’s off the ground to the sense of speed is great, such an intense experience, I really love it and can see me racing Formula Juniors for years to come, especially as everyone in the FJ paddock are so lovely and friendly, historic racing really is very special. Next race is a Cadwell Park in a months time, that should be a brilliant track for these cars as very tight and twisty, can’t wait. Cheers, Paul.

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 that I can't wait for. We have had a great response to this open day with 40+ people register which has been a real suprise for a speaker brand that isn't really mainstream. Looking forward to seeing everyone later. Regards, Paul.

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. For those who don't know what an Omnidirectional speaker is, basically they present the music in 360 degrees. Not only are they very musical but be being an Omnidirectional design they give a huge soundstage recreating that music hall live sound, they really are quite special and well worth a listen so if you are around on April 27th please do come in for a listen. We will have both of our 2 downstairs demo rooms running, the first room with have the £19,500 HRS-130 speakers in and the next room will have the next model up, the Borderland MK IV playing, this was German Physiks first speaker back in 1992 and is their most popular speaker. Designed and manufactured in Germany the full range of German Physiks loudspeakers embody the same DDD driver which eliminates the crossover point in the very important mid-range. The DDD driver also has a wide frequency range typically, from 200Hz to 24Khz and is phase linear across this bandwidth. All frequencies in its operating range radiate evenly through 360 degrees around the loudspeaker in a horizontal plane producing a stereo image you can enjoy from a wide range of positions in the listening room. Over the years Omnidirectional loudspeakers have gone from a curiosity that few people were aware of and even fewer had heard to a class of loudspeakers that you will find at almost any audio show and offer a different approach to the traditional speaker design so for something truly different please feel free to join us. Please find a very enthusiastic review from Terry Ellis below, as you can see he was extremely impressed, these are the actual speakers we will have at our open day much to Terry's disappointment as he would have loved to have kept them longer. HiFi+ Editors Choice Award for Borderland MK IV's Over the years German Physiks have won countless awards and the latest addition to these is from HiFi+ who have just awarded the Borderland MK IV's their Editors Choice award, please see below - RSVP Please! We will have food and drink available on the day as well as representatives along from German Physiks to help run the day and answer any questions you may have. It would be great if you'd like to come along to experience something a little different, I think you will be very surprised just how good these speakers sound, if you can make it along can you please fire me a quick mail to the below, thanks - paul@hifilounge.co.uk Please also find a link below to the full German Physiks range of speakers on our website below and a few pictures - https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/german-physiks/ Hope to see you on April 27th, All the best, Regards, Paul.

Wilson Audio Sasha V Loudspeakers Now On Permanent Demo! Hi Everyone, So when it comes to Wilson Audio there isn't much to say really that hasn't already been said but it is always big news when we get a new pair of Wilsons in for demo and this time we are delighted to now have the new Sasha V's on permanent demo in the stunning Medio Grigio finish, grey to you and me, it goes without saying that they look and sound stunning. The Sasha DAW's were such a popular speaker for us and Wilson that I am sure when it came time to update them it must have been quite tricky for Wilson as they really were the perfect speaker, the right size, expensive yes but not silly money and sounded so good but things march on and as Wilson had not so long ago updated their Alexx V's with trickle down technology from the incredible XVX's it was time to upgrade the Sasha's with the same tech resulting in a speaker that really has moved the game on from where the DAW was, not small feat I have to say. If you haven't heard a Wilson speaker you really do owe it to yourself to come in and choose some of your favourite tracks to play on our new Sasha's, the dynamics, mid and solidity to the bass is just perfect, Wilson Audio really are the masters of speaker design that just pulls you into the heart of the music, when I listen to a Wilson it is very difficult to find any faults with their presentation, well for me they are as perfect as a speaker gets, I know that comes at a price but if you are one of the lucky ones who can go to the Wilson level then I know you will enjoy your music like never before, generally once people become Wilson Audio customers they are for life as nothing else comes close to the balance of honesty, accuracy and musicality. Please find a link to Wilson Audio on our website and if you'd like to come in for a demo anytime please feel free. https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/wilson-audio/ Cheers, Paul.

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 new brand to me and bringing them on was solely driven my love of the Western Electric 91E 300B valve amp we have here which when partnered with our DeVore speakers really is a match made in heaven which got me looking at what other 300B Single ended Valve amps are out there which brought me to Trafomatic, I was firstly sold by the looks, yes I'm such a tart, but I asked if I could borrow one from the distributor, Absolute Sounds, which they kindly obliged with and after a quick listen I realised that along with it being absolutely gorgeous it sounded different enough from the 91E that it would be a worthy addition to put on demo to give our ever growing number of DeVore customers another amplifier option. What I need to do now is try to on other speakers as I'm sure it will make any speaker sing it is connected to. Choose You Colour! Another great feature on the purely aesthetic point is that you can have any colour you like, so being a bit of a car nut I sent them a picture of the below Ferrari and asked them to match that, please, so Trafomatic spoke with Ferrari and got the paint code, I think when you see the amp you'll agree they did a great job. As for the sound compared to the Western Electric 91E? it definitely has a slightly tighter and punchier bass and a more refined sound overall whereas the 91E is a little more forward and lively so they really do complement each other well as they are both equally as good I'd say but just different so it will be up to the customer to choose, I can see some fun demos coming up. Once our DeVore Reference speakers arrive I plan to run them with the Trafomatic Glenn 300B Mono Blocks as I would expect that to be a very special combination, really can't wait to get this all up and running. As ever please find a link below to Trafomatic on our website, we're still adding some products to this, and a few pictures below and if you'd like to come in for a listen at anytime please feel free. https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/trafomatic-audio/ Cheers, Paul. The Big Question, Trafomatic Rhapsody or the Western Electric 91E?

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 really are perfectly proportioned, looking absolutely stunning with their aerospace grade aluminium cabinets but for a reasonably small speaker the scale of the audio presentation is very impressive but it is their delicacy and insight that drew me in, these are obviously a 2 way design which a lot of people prefer for their simplicity and coherence which I totally get, have to say the balance through the whole frequency range is spot on with very impressive tight and layered bass weight, they really are very engrossing. It really is very easy to be impressed by the Carmel 3’s so I couldn’t resist but to place an order for a pair for demo to go along with the YG Peaks Cairn and Talus speakers we already have on demo. The great thing with the 3 pairs of YG’s that we currently have on demo is that they all occupy a small footprint which really will suit a lot of UK homes but as ever it has to come down to sound quality and in all honesty YG are a new brand to me so I am still learning their family sound but all I can say if you like, clarity, delicacy and insight that pulls you in then you really should give them a listen if you are looking for new speakers at these price points. Please find a link below to YG on our website and a few pictures of what we have on demo currently, please feel free to get in touch to arrange a demo anytime - https://hifilounge.co.uk/product-category/brands/yg-acoustics/ Cheers, Paul.
