It’s time for North West Audio Show 2018

[Marco]

I spoke to nice lady there about it and she explained that Marco had done a giant fart the day before, and they had to nip out to get some air fresheners.

Guilty as charged On exit, it was an exceptionally hot fart, 'fuelled' by the previous night's chilli con carne, so always liable to linger - and rather 'watery' too, so I doubt they'll ever get the stain off that chair.

Marco.

Still not got the stain out of hall carpet.

P.S Where has Mark YNWaN disappeared to? He was so excited about going to the show, and now more than 24 hours later, not a peep! Come on, Mark, tells us your thoughts on the show!

Hey Marco, I am here . I did go on Sunday (all day) and listened in every room, including the in-car audio. I also took loads of pictures. The only reason I haven’t posted anything is pressure of work. However, I think it’s pretty clear that this is now the premiere show in the UK. It was a shame that BD Audio didn’t have a system there (but understandable as they have now, as of today, ceased trading), MAX weren’t exhibiting either, though I think they only did the first show. Other than that there was a very broad range of gear on show. I’ll see if I can pull a report together .

First show I've been to for over 10 years. My daughter drove as I no longer drive. I enjoyed it as expected, my daughter thought it was very good which i was not expecting. The show certainly was not as I remember hifi shows which was like cattle being taken to market.

The show works for the hifi industry because my daughter now wants a hifi! The problem the hifi industry has, is most under 40s do not own there own homes and the ones who do have very little money left over after paying the mortgage and for a car, anyway my daughter is adamant she wants a 'hifi' her words. She has decided to buy an amp and some good head phones.
So a big thumbs up from me for the show

It is a classy show in a classy location. This was the second time I've been there and it was a pleasure to walk about.

Agree it is a fantastic day. Third year on the trot for me and I have a great time every year.

Only problem for me as with all shows is that I get wow factor fatigue after a while which means I don't end up visting all the rooms.

Looking at the highlughts Marco and others have posted it looks like I missed a few good ones as well.

Still spent six hours there on Saturday though. And this time I only spent 20 quid!

Did it sound like the last bit of Ketchup squeezed out of the bottle?

Apart from sounding great, those tiny Soundkaos speakers clearly had a good quality finish - no blistering from your chemical weapon.

I thought that Aeron stuff was incredible, given the tiny size and really tidy price tag. I shot myself in the foot by sitting down in there, giving Mrs. P time to see the price tag. "£600 quid for the two? So why did yours cost so much?"

I'm leaving her in the bar next year. After a few glasses of vino, who knows what she might buy for me?

Have to say Marco, those Kralk Audio TDB-12s have piqued my interest
