Thanks guys, thats a lot to consider!. I did in fact go to the hifi show, which was to my surprise better than I expected. They did a lot of analogue stuff. I expected a lot of video and digital rubbish, but pretty much all demonstrations were done on high end turntables!
I managed to pick up a few records of artists I never heard of (cannot recall their names now). 3 LPs for a tenner, and one of them was sold elsewhere on the show for 15 GBP!
I hoped to pick up an SACD from OPUS 3, Tiny Islands, but they had sold out flat. Too bad...
The demos were not that great, but I was pleasantly surprised they had so much tube stuff and turntable stuff.
Colston Hall, is that the one near corn street? I was aware of one on park street once a month but that ended a few years back.
I'll try to find that car boot sale on sundays in almondsbury, maybe this weekend. The weather should be good
