Important Notice: London Show Demonstrations

  This year at the September Show (19th to 21st), Hi-Fi-Plus will be running ticketed demonstrations located in the Renaissance Hotel, just across The road from he Park Inn. The tickets themselves will ONLY be available from our stand in the maim show, however, a limited number will be available for  subscribers to pre-book; just ring Jackie on 01425 461155, between 11:00am and 4.00pm and shell add your lame to the list. Reserved tickets will be  limited to two per caller and must also be collected from our stand at the show, before 11am each day.

We've introduced this measure because recently our demonstrations have become so heavily attended that disappointed subscribers have been unable to get tickets. Hopefully this will ease the problem, as well as ensuring that the demonstrations fulfill one of their primary objectives; giving readers the chance to hear for themselves the differences and performance benefits we describe in he pages of the magazine. This serves the dual purpose of allowing you to "calibrate" our descriptions and keeping us honest! After all, who wants to stand in front of room full of people flying to demonstrate a miraculous upgrade that no one can hear.

The demonstrations will be designed to show the importance of set up and ancillaries to overall system performance — including several of the products reviewed in this issue — lessons that apply to all systems irrespective
of price.

Each demo will last approximately  40 minutes. starting at 3:00pm on Friday, 12 noon on Saturday and 11:30am on Sunday. We won't he alone at the Renaissance either, with Audiofreaks running their Unplugged.2008 event (more details on page 8) and Hi-Fi News also in attendance, making the trip across the road well worthwhile. We look forward to seeing you there.
