This year, on the 30th of November and 1st
of December, the 4th edition of the Hifi Show from The HIFI Studio Number One was held at the
Holiday Inn at Leiden, Netherlands. Former years when the show was held were 2012,
2014 and 2016.
There were 12 rooms booked at the Holiday Inn to present the
latest in hifi development and a lot of high-end brands were presented. Among
the brands there were a few of my favorites:
Accuphase
Dynaudio
Monitor Audio
Naim Audio
Anthem (Paradigm)
Roksan
Yamaha
We arrived at 11:00 on Saturday. We were invited at the welcome
desk to enter our names for a lottery, with a chance of winning a nice prize!
Well, that is a small effort, so why not?
The real hot items during the show were the audiophile
digital music streamers and servers. There was a lot of choice and it seems
that a lot of brands are making their own software and hardware these days,
with a comprehensive number of features and functions.
