The organisers of the Australian Hi-Fi Show report record attendance levels to the three-day event so far, with the Sydney Central Hotel near Central Station hosting four floors of suites and rooms containing hi-fi systems and home cinema demonstrations to visitors.
While some exhibits feature the highest of high-end hi-fi, there are plenty of real-world systems hoping to prove to the punters that you don't need a mortgage to bring real hi-fi sound home.
The larger rooms at the Show provide space for visitors to sit and listen for longer periods. This can be important to appreciate what you're hearing, says Ford.
"It takes a while for your ears to get used to a room, let alone the sound of a system," he says. "I always tell people to take their time – nobody is going to chase you out of these rooms. Sit and enjoy the music. And the other great thing about Shows is you have experts on hand to answer any questions you have. Often the designers of the gear themselves may be in the room: it's a rare chance to meet and engage with these people."
There are also competitions and prizes at the Show, where you can win hi-fi gear, and vote for your favourite sound of the Show.
You can see the full line-up for the Show here; tickets are available HERE or on the door at the Sydney Central Hotel, Thomas St, Haymarket, a short walk from Central Station.
