Event Report

Thames Valley Audio Fayre 20th june 2010

The very first Bracknell Audio Fayre seemed a great success, it’s always difficult to get the momentum going for any new event of this type but if this premier is anything to go by then this event could well grow to become as popular as the long established Tonbridge audio jumble.

There were a good variety of stall holders selling everything from classic hi-fi, electronic components and LPs.

We were situated in a conference room on the first floor and bought along a variety of records, equipment, cables and accessories, as well as a demonstration system detailed below:

There were quite a few impediments for getting a good sound in the room available to us, we only had very limited setup time, there was a noisy gym in the room above us and the wall we needed to have behind the speakers was so thin it was almost transparent... Nonetheless having lugged quite a lot of heavy equipment up the stairs I think it’s fair to say we were quite pleased with the results. The room had an amazing ability to absorb sound (leading to a softness and lack of low end impact) but was thankfully fairly dead considering the lack of furnishings, a great blessing as we ran out of room in the van to bring out normal acoustic treatment products.
