Anyone going to the Bristol

[RoA]

Time of the year again. Haven't been for a few years either because I lived abroad or worked (or both). May try and go for one day, Saturday likely if I'm not working. Last time my partner and I did two days and thoroughly regretted it. Hot and cramped, simply headache inducing. I just want to see a few things I read about or watched on the Tube. Nice breakfast first, a few hours of Hifi and off home.

Who's going?

To far away for me but might go to this

Audiojumble | Second-hand and vintage hi-fi

Now in its 34th year, the Audiojumble is the UK's largest second-hand and vintage hi-fi show. Held in Crawley, West Sussex. Over 160 stalls.

I should be.

Missed last year for the first time in many years as it’s been disappointing that a lot of main stream brands have not been attending. A couple are back this year so hoping to check them out along with everything else.

Looking forward to it. 😁

I wish I could have got the time off work and travel down....Elite audio from Anstruther,Fife are taking the Electrocompaniet integrated amps to the show with the revival audio speakers along with some Lindemann gear.....they usually take the big expensive mono blocks of Electrocompaniet so it's a nice change for them to take the more.....ahem ......affordable amplifiers....I'd have been interested to hear what the guys set up the Eci6 mkii with and even the eci80d....I have both, although the Eci 80d is sitting in it's box atm.

This year I shall only be attending Bristol Airport.... 🙂

I remember purchasing tickets prior last time and ended up in a huge cue waiting for almost 45 minutes until reaching the door whilst those that bought on the day almost immediately went in. Any suggestions on what is the better way? Thanks.

I'm going with my dad. It's the fourth year running for me, and my dad's first. He hasn't been able to come with me previously due to being mum's full time carer, but she sadly passed away in November, so it's one of the things we have in place to look forward to. We're travelling over early on the Friday, attending the show that day (hopefully a little quieter than the Saturday, when I've been before), staying overnight and seeing a bit of Bristol before heading back on Saturday evening. We're both trying to avoid hi-fi purchases this year, but it should be a fun trip, as hi-fi is an interest we have always shared (and it's his fault I got into it in the first place).

Don’t forget to sell a kidney, to pay for the parking…

Last time we parked a little outside the centre and just took a bus in.

Last time we parked a little outside the centre and just took a bus in.

I was specifically referring to the extortionate airport parking. If I was going to the Brizzle Show, I would most likely get the bus from Taunton. Not the quickest way to get there but, easy and, just a short walk from the Bearpit to the show and, therefore, the main bus station.

PS, I remember what the bus station was like before it was renovated. A horrible, filthy, black hole.
