WE HAVE A 50% SALE ON SANSUI!

Did you get that? Good. Because it's an offer worth shouting about. You may not be able to get Sansui anywhere (else!) in the UK anymore, we managed to nab the last of the stock to make sure everyone got their share. It's also worth mentioning that, while Sansui isnt

If you're new to the hi-fi game, or if you're looking for a complete system overhaul - sometimes it's hard to know exactly what to get. There are so many options, which way do you turn?

Well luckily we've identified this as an issue, put our heads together and come up with a series of packages. All of which will work well together, look great together and - most importantly - sound great together. Each of these packages will form a complete system: i.e. all you will need is the cables, and you're

Wireless! Portable! OUTDOORS! If those three words are getting you excited then we all know what that must mean. Summer time is fast approaching! And that means swapping your floorstanders for wireless actives and your separates system for an adorable little portable headphone amplifier. Because even audiophiles have to go outside sometimes... but that doesn't mean you can't take your hi-fi with you!

Being a music lover means owning some of the most critically - and commericially - successful albums. Being an audiophile means owning those albums... in vinyl form! Some of the finest albums ever created need to be heard exactly how they were meant to be heard - and in vinyl form.

But what are the Top 5 biggest sellers? Well, it's probably not too difficult to guess. But we'll lay it out for you, just to be on the safe side. From the bottom to the top.

5. The Eagles - Their Greatest Hits (1971–1975)

There comes a time, in every music lover's life, that they must consider the possibility of a turntable. Sure, they're not for everyone. They're tricky, they're impractical and they can be an expensive venture. But... that's not exactly the point. And if you're considering entering the world of analogue, you already know this to be true. Turntables are cooler than cool, and they epitomise true hi-fi. Who cares if they're tricky, impractical and expensive?

Well, we care. A bit. Nobody wants their

Part of the love for vinyl is in the aesthetic of the sleeve, the design, the artwork.

Vinyl lover and artist Keith Haynes took his passion for music and art to the next level, and produces wonderful vinyl themed artwork:

“When growing up, vinyl albums and record sleeves were my idea of art, and designers like Jamie Reid, Barney Bubbles and John Maybury were my inspiration. In today’s world of digital, downloadable music I felt it timely to remind ourselves of the physical experience of beautiful,

Our friends at Cyrus have news! Bad news and good news, all in one fell swoop! The bad news is that come June the 1st (2015) they will no longer be offering upgrades on any equipment over a decade old. However the good news is there is now an amazing incentive on getting that dusty old Cyrus kit a shiny new upgrade - however old it is. So, if you were umming and ahhing about whether or not you needing to get yourself an upgrade - now you know the that answer is definitely yes!

So, to clarify. From

Spring has well and truly sprung - and it's vinyl season here at Audio Affair! Potentially our favourite season of them all!  All of this lovely weather and the frolicking that it inspires has got us all thinking - what are our favourite records to whack on the decks? If we were stuck on a desert island with nothing but a turntable... well, you know where this is going! So I asked my colleagues at Audio Affair for them to pick out their favourite vinyl for me - and here is what they came up with!

Ah April, the weather is getting warmer, the days are longer, the sun is starting to show it's face and the birds are making music.

This April our theme for the month is Vinyl & Turntables, and we'll be blogging, instagramming, tagging, liking and posting all about the wonderful world of shellac and styluses.

Not only that, but it's also Record Store Day on April 28th and we'll be having some awesome things to say about the vinyl we love as we get closer to the day.
