Well yes, we are, simply because we as a company don't organise the show, so have no say over ticketing.




Yep fair enough, i realised that at the end of my post lol! thanks anyway.

ll, but will there be plenty of tickets to go around, or will those who are'nt really really early be dissapointed...? ......


I have visited the show nearly everyear, and have been one of the saddos queuing to get in, and I have never heard of anyone turned away.


It's a big place but does get too crowded, especially in the small rooms.


I recommend the Friday if possible.


You won't be able to move for all the women that go to these shows.


Most that are, just that most seem to be dragged around by their partners.


It's a homo erotic geek fest, wear the badge with pride!!

Well at Excel, Clearer Audio did have a go at proving power cables. However, if they did make a difference, it was too noisy a venue to hear it!

Cheers! Is it always at the same venue? Keep meaning to contact the organisers and the hotel, and will need to sort out accommodation, hoping i can get something near to the venue - walking distance hopefully.


anyway im just waffling, ignore me.

Its the same hotel, every year.


It was once in Clifton many moons ago, Hi Fi on the rocks I beleive it was called.


The hotel is right in the middle of town and there are a few large chains quite near.


I would ring the venue an see what they recommend. Small BnB's are everywhere but you pays your money.

Andrew, do you know if Select Audio will be there with a Stello Signature DAC?

I'd go simply to hear that.

I suspected as much from most of your posts.
