Â
And that's all folks! 2014 is about to pass into a distant memory, and 2015 is hot on our heels. And you know what that means... it's time to PARTY! So grab your party poppers, party hates and get that champagne on ice. But what... aren't we missing something? Oh, of course. Music! No party is complete without music, especially not a NYE party. And if it's high fidelity, well, even better! But which music, might you ask? Well, if it's hi-fi it has to be vinyl. That's a given. So let us recommend

In just a few short hours 2014 will be behind us. Exciting yes? And of course, with a new year comes lots of exciting new technologies, innovations... and even more lovely hi-fi products! We've had a good dig around and we have managed to root out a few tit bits of new product news, be that stuff that has just been released and is ready to order, or a few rumours of products to come. Naturally, the world of hi-fi is pretty secretive, but we've done what we can to bring you the news first. A trend

The end... is nigh! Well, the end of 2014 at the very least. And what a year it has been, for both us and the world of hi-fi. As we turn our focus onto the New Year and all of the new challenges (and technologies!) it will bring, we've also been having a think about the products that have really made an impact.
2014 was a strange year, full of ups and downs. Although we're pleased to report that it was mostly ups for us!  It has been Audio Affair's best year. We've always held our customer's

Have you heard? We wouldn't be surprised, if you have - we've been banging on about it for months now. But just in case you haven't, vinyl is the most popular its been in decades. Sure, true hi-fi aficionados have continued to embrace vinyl long after its heyday, but its recent resurgence has seen it creeping back into the mainstream catalogues. That means, of course, that turntables have increased in popularity too, which is very good news. However, as is the case with any suddenly popular item,

Valve amplifiers are strange and wonderful beasts, but to say they're making a comeback would be a severe understatement! Â Despite transistor or 'solid state' amplifiers all but replacing them a few decades ago, the valve method has been seeing increasing popularity in the last few years. And it's no surprise - it doesn't matter how far transistor radios have come - they have yet to fully replicate that warm, lush and open sound that valve amps provide. They may not be able to best them in terms

It's no secret that the ownership of a vinyl record collection and a turntable on which to play it on is a labour of love.

But if you're into vinyl, you knew that already.
Our turntable and vinyl accessory range has grown over the last few years and we now stock some of the best vinyl accessories on the
