Looking at this year’s awards. Looks extremely similar to last year. Have there really been no better products released this year?
Sure is.The UK's HiFi industry is something to be proud of.
This is likely the main problem. Mainstream publications, such as WHF, have to rely on manufacturers or importers, to supply them with new products for review. If those manufacturers/importers don't feel WHF is read by their target buyers, then WHF won't be sent products for review. If you want to see a greater range of products reviewed, cast your net wider.manufacturers just aren't sending new products to WHF.
Couldn't agree more. Give a fair hearing to US brands like Mofi, Mytek and Schiit, consider Chi-fi DACs like Denafrips in comparison to Chord - we can then decide as consumers whether we want to favour British or European products over US or Chinese.A high proportion of these are 2019 or older, like the Grado 325e, which was released in 2014. I've seen and read many reviews of similarly priced headphones released in the last year or so. None of them reviewed by WHF. Where's the likes of Schiit? One WHF review. As someone else mentioned where is Hegel? One DAC from 2011. They need to start looking at Chi-Fi too. You can't just ignore that market. Looking at the frequent number of re-reviews, just changing the published date is very lazy, manufacturers just aren't sending new products to WHF. Bit of a shame. I've been a reader since the days of the A400.

new amps in 2020 Hegel H95, H390 & H120 .
Well at least the H95 and H120 are in good company as they have stiff competition with the recent introduction of Lyngdorf Audio's new TDAI-1120 and amongst its other qualities the ability to tackle and keep in check the most important element THE ROOM with the bees knees of digital room correction Lyngdorf Audio's RoomPerfect.
Btw, the H390 is also happens to be in good company in the form of the TDAI-3400.
Peter Lyngdorf CEO Steinway Lyngdorf on Lyngdorf Audio's RoomPerfect room correction -
"one of the things that people don't realise is that if they buy the best speakers in the world and put it in a normal living room about 85% of the sound they hear is coming from the room"
"speakers are 15% of the sound and the room is 85% and those 85% typically are not so good"
"when you can digitally compensate in the correct way, we can actually make sure if you buy Bowers & Wilkins speakers or DALI speakers or really good loudspeakers it will sound the best that that speaker can sound in your own room and that is what really matters"
Noted and he's going to have to tread carefully.....I thought this was a HiFi forum not Classified adverts for your stock as so comprehensively and brazenly shown above

Have you got any evidence to back up your libelous comment?The issue is that, rightly or wrongly, whf needs those sending products to sponsor them (in advertising) for the exchange. It's a commercial operation. If the brand isn't prepared too eg ATC or Harbeth, then whf won't do the reviews. In one way of thinking this is fair, not to consumers though.
