Linn Open Day - Saturday 7/02/2015 - Audio Affair Showroom - Birmingham, B9 4AA

Busy on Saturday 7th of Feb? Local to Birmingham, or passing through? Then we have the perfect idea to add a little hi-fi majik to your day. We are now an official Linn dealer, which means we will be hosting one of the Official Linn Open Days that are happening up and down the country! Fancy an introduction to streaming, or interested in how Linn can open your world up to unlimited musical possibilities.

What?

One of hi-fi's greatest assets is the sheer amount of choice that's available to you. But, like many things like it, a great blessing can be a great curse! When there is so much choice, what do you ultimately go for? If there really such a big difference between all of the various options?

Well, I'm afraid to say that: yes. There is a big difference. But that's okay, we have recognised that and it is our job to provide you with the best possible answers to the biggest questions in hi-fi. Including

Customising to taste is a big part of what makes hi-fi fun - it's all about the detail! And yes, those details include the wiring. And yes, that's customisable too! If you want to tweak the sound the suit you - and you alone - then its worth looking into the wonderful world of wiring. Not only that, but the vast majority of speakers/amplifiers won't come ready supplied with cables - so it's worth being prepared.

It was once - quite famously - believed that such things as 'cables' made very little

Are you dreaming of a hi-fi separates system? You wouldn't be the only one - fragmenting hi-fi into its basic components is the dream of many-an-audiophile. But it can be a complicated process, especially when you consider just how many pieces of the puzzle there are. Even the most hardened hi-fi aficionado will stumble at a few hurdles in their bid to assemble their perfect hi-fi. The analogue enthusiasts might draw a blank when it comes to network streamers and DACs and the digitally-minded might

We're a proud Linn dealer, which of course means we get plenty of enquiries about the - rather famous - Linn ranges, and exactly what each contains. You may have noticed, it gets a little complicated! That's why we've decided to give you a brief guide on the hierarchy, from Kiko through to Akurate, so you can work out exactly which Linn would suit you best.

Starting from the ground up, we have...

Kiko

The Kiko DSM and its speakers (included) are the beginners' level Linn. It's a standalone

Students! We love them. They work hard, they play hard, and most of us here at AA have experienced that awesome student lifestyle for ourselves! But where does hi-fi fit in? I'm sure you know the answer to that already: it fits in everywhere! But if you're lucky enough to be heading back onto campus after the Christmas break, you will probably not have a great deal of cash to fritter away. But never fear, we are here to give you the best possible suggestions at the best possible prices. We have put

At Audio Affair, we try to offer the very best in customer service, no matter what the enquiry.

When a customer was informed that his new wireless headphones would be slightly delayed, we stepped in to help him avoid causing issues with his relationship:

Knowing the importance of good quality audio whilst gaming, we quickly responded to the question:

Ever fancied yourself to be a bit of a hi-fi critic? Have you made a purchase recently that you want to shout from the rooftops about... or even ward others off? If so, there is a way!  We have a function on our website that allows you to leave your own personal review of each and every product, that not only we can see - but the whole world! It has proven very popular with a few of our more exclusive items, but we want the world to know to know what you think of EVERYTHING! Or at least, the stuff

Hi-fi is not something you can just slap together - if it's a rush job, it isn't hi-fi! From the drawing board to the testing room to the factory floor, attention to detail is crucial, and what ultimately makes hi-fi... well... hi-fi! But it doesn't stop there. Once the item has been polished off and shipped out to its ultimate destination, rarely is it a simple case of plug in and play. At least, that's not the case with speakers! From placement in the room to stands and just the right amount

When it comes to real home cinema, the surround sound is the key to a fully immersive experience. And let's face it, that's pretty much the point of a visit to the cinema: an escape from reality, becoming fully immersed in another world, even if it's just for a moment. And while the imagery helps - it's the sound that really takes you there. So an investment in a system that not only surrounds you, but submerges you and encompasses you entirely, is really worth it. With such a set up, you'll never
