UK Audio Show 2024 Show Report
Discovering many glorious new companies and equipment too!
UK Audio 2024 Show Report By Clive Meakins
UK Audio Show was very enjoyable, I came across companies and equipment that were new to me. There was innovative thinking in evidence too. I also very much enjoyed the Alphason technical session where the highly experienced Mike Knowles clearly was very on top of his subject. The Bob Harris sessions were a masterstroke, they combined a love of music with highly interesting tales from the music
industry. The UK Audio Show at the Staverton Park Hotel, Daventry, UK took place 5th and 6th of October 2023. The show was expertly organized by Chester Group who operate internationally and has been running the UK show since 1997, however, times are
a-changin'. Not long before the show it was announced that Stereonet – a sponsor of the show – will be taking over for next
year.

iSonic Cleaner 6.2-PRO Ultrasonic
Vinyl LP Cleaner Review
Ultrasonic deep cleaning and spin drying 10 LP
records in 30 minutes.
Review By Bob Grossman
The
iSonic Pro 6.2-PRO is the latest variation and upgraded record cleaner design
from a company that specializes in commercial ultrasonic cleaning machines. They
have styles and sizes for various products with personal and industrial
applications. The iSonic company has dozens of cleaner models for medical
applications, jewelry, and personal items used in the home. Jerry Fan of iSonic
said, "Over the past six years, we have made a lot of progress with cleaners
for audio systems." Jerry modestly told me he "doesn’t know too much about
anything else, but we do know about ultrasonic cleaners!" They started with
processing 5 to 10 records for cleaning only, then added the PRO accessory kit
for spin drying with an in-water filter two years ago. Those developments were
with the model P4875II+MVR10-PRO which was an upgrade to the early model
P4875II+MVR5 or MVR10....

PS Audio Aspen FR5 Loudspeaker Review
High-tech innovation and true-to-life sound.
Review By Ron Nagle
PS Audio was founded in 1973 and shipped its first products in 1974. The company
began life with audio designers Paul McGowan and Stan Warren, with Paul now at
the helm. While most may already know, for those unfamiliar, PS Audio is a
company specializing in high-end audiophile equipment and the sound recording
industry. It designs and ships audio amplifiers, preamplifiers, power-related
products, digital-to-analog converters (DAC), streaming audio devices, plus
music management software and cables. Each weighing 26.62 lbs, the PS Audio Aspen FR5 is a new
compact two-way stand-mounted loudspeaker. At $3500, it represents the least
expensive of the four speakers in their Aspen series.

World Premiere Review!
KBL Sound EXtrema Interconnects, Himalaya Pro 2 Power Cables, And EXtrema Digital Cable Review
An awe-inspiring musical experience with extended frequencies and razor-sharp transients.
Review By Tom Lyle
As
a high-end audio equipment reviewer, I've heard many brands and types of
high-end audio cables. However, the sound quality of KBL Sound's
reference-quality cables, which included their EXtrema interconnects, Himalaya
Pro 2 power cables, and an EXtrema digital cable, differed significantly from
all the other audio cables I've heard or reviewed in the past. Their superior
sound quality was obviously due to their elaborate construction techniques and
materials used. For this review, I was sent two of KBL Sound's EXtrema interconnects, one terminated with RCAs and one terminated with XLRs. I was also sent three Himalaya Pro 2 power cables and one EXtrema digital cable. It's a shame I wasn't sent more KBL Sound cables to review.
