    Smile the little audio company at the Bristol HiFi Show 2019

    As last year, the little audio company will be assisting Auden Distribution at this year's Bristol HiFi show.

    The format has yet to be finalised, but I'll update when details become available.

    glad to hear this , look forward to hearing the system
    ou might slip, you might slide, you might
    Stumble and fall by the road side
    But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
    Remember you're walking up to heaven

    Don't let nobody turn you around
    … Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
    Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
    And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

    We’re trying to think of something a little different, but there’s not much choice when you’re just using an amp and a pair of speakers! We may be using Spotify via a Hegel H190.

    Default Bristol HiFi Show

    We ended up using the H190 (we have used the H90 and Rost at previous shows) being fed with CD quality music from a laptop connected via USB, with Roon as the controlling software. The main speakers that were used were the Argon 3LS floorstanders, with the occasional swap over to the 7LS model, and using AudioMica cables. A couple of times we switched to music downloaded from TIDAL to an iPad, and sent via AirPlay directly to the H190, which sounded just as good! All to demonstrate the flexibility and quality of the Hegel amplifiers.

    We had a huge amount of positive feedback, mostly commenting on how natural and even sounding the system was, regardless of the music playing, and we saw many coming back for a second listening session.

    Next year, something a little different...

    Glad you had a productive time at Bristol, David! Did Justin pop into your room with his camera? See his show report in Blank Canvas
