It's the Scalford hifi show on sunday - march 19 - Melton Mowbray area. Haven't seen a list of exhibitors yet.

IQ speakers going this year?

They are having a type of swap shop area (buy or sell too) for used audio products. Might be worth going to see if anyone is interested in my Cambridge audio 840A v2 amp (plug plug!) - I wouldn't want to carry it around though!

PS - as well as a Pioneer A400 and rega Brio 3 (original early model) !

regards tonky

There's a spreadsheet with all wammers and their equipment that's going to be available to listen.

In regards to manufacturers I don't know who's going to be present. I know it's all under patronage of Elite Audio Distribution Ltd. Dealt with them in the past and they've been great.

Thanks very much

Is this show for the hifi wih wam forum members to show off their systems??

What a cool idea that is

Yes, it's different to most hifi shows. There's also bring and buy so that enthusiast can exchange/sell their hifi. Raffle with prizes (one of them a pair of Harbeths) and surely there will be some businesses (whether dealers or manufacturers) involved.

I am tempted to go actually - there are some interesting things to me on that list. Valves

If I can square it I will likely be there

I have not got the green light to go yet - my request was met with hostility, a guilt trip and the face where you know you are in the dog house

However it would be from Essex

The show is open to anyone to exhibit their systems. You don't need to be a regular WAM poster to exhibit.

Part of the reason for the show being created in the first place was because there were some members on the WAM saying how bad so many rooms at trade shows sounded, to which the response was "If you think you can do better, go ahead and show us how it should be done". So they did!

The Scalford Show is a great event and I would encourage anyone with any interest in hi-fi to go.

Someone's put "telephone cable". I think that subject is best avoided, whatever your opinion is.

Anyway, I've decided to go. Gotta see/hear for myself.

I have discovered to my cost, male logic like that, is (surprisingly!?) ineffective. *sad*

Hi,

There is a spa near Scalford Hall - you could suggest she needs a break, skin is looking tired, bags under her eyes have got bigger, double chin is pregnant etc., so you can kill two birds with one stone.

Don't forget to say how good she looks when she comes out.

Regards,

Shadders.

In 2016 there were at least 4 World Class systems at the show.

There may be fewer than that this year. For 2017 there are a lot of candidates for systems with good sound for small amounts of money.
