The Whitlebury Hall show was a huge success, we thank all those who came in to see and hear just what superb value HIAudio are bringing to the UK market.

Our Show Report

The new Mini-2 Dancers from Usher had almost all loving their sound and the MSR-1 from NuForce really showed just what can be done with a music server at lets face it a real world price. Unlike the others we saw costing far more and according to most comments, had inferior interfaces in comparison to the superb NuForce MSR-1 interface by Digibit.

So keep an eye here as we will be bringing a lot of changes to the site over the coming months.

August 2009

well with the slow progress on the new website this hasn't been looked at for a time.

So in reverses chronological order, to make it easiest

The Cartridge Man Music Mat.

Not short on a few accessories, the all new cartridge man mat, long in development with many different materials tried is now available and shipping.

The difference is not funny when compared against well the other mats we have hear, cork, composite, ring mat, SDS, etc etc.

Shipping for £80, this has to be the vinyl bargain of the decade for sure.

NuForce MSR1 Shipping, available with choice of touch screen, this superb new device brings your entire music collection to your fingertips, in the size and shape you love from NuForce. Fitted inside a ref series Chassis there are several partnering options.

MSR1/IA7, integrated and only two boxes. Or be a little more flexible and partner it with the New P8s Pre amplifier and the new 8.5V2 Stereo, so three boxes. or go for a P9 pre amplifier, and a Stereo 8.5V2 for 4 boxes, or finally P9 and Ref 9/9SE v2 mono blocks for a 5 box solution.

All improving in sound quality, but also price.

Coming with standard offering two zones, 1 digital 1 analogue you can be sending music to another room whilst enjoying your own choice where you are. the possibilities are myriad and thus are up to you to explore.

NuForce P8s now available, as are upgrades for existing P8 owners.

NuForce have built on the success of the budget P8 pre amplifier, and brought in technology shared with eh award winning P9, to bring to you the new P8s pre.

NuForce Ref8.5V2 Stereo

Not everybody wants a mono block, so NuForce have introduced the new Stereo power amplifier in the Ref chassis to give a true two box quality sound for the P8s pre amplifier. The Ref8.5 V2 mono block has been discontinued.

A matching source with the MSR1 is also available.

21st April 2009

We have waited a long time, but the NuForce Reference chassis Source has finally arrived.

The all new MSR-1 Sonata Edition, is all we hoped for and more.

Featuring touch screen control with a custom DigiBit software interface, this music server gives intuitive control to the user, whilst offering cutting edge control with devices such as the Apple iPod Touch, iPhone being fully compatible for remote control. Specified with 15" or 7" touch screens or a standard remote control of you existing TV you have a wealth of control options to choose from, Allowing seamless access to your entire music collection.

12 march 2008

Well if you are thinking about a budget headphone Amplifier, look no further than Graham Slee. We know how good they are and so do a fast growing number of you, well What Hi Fi, unbeknown to us obtained a Voyager and reviewed it. It got 5 stars!!!

This month we were surprised to see the Novo appear in a group test of 5 different budget headphone amps, Again well recommended and 5 stars.

yes they are british but Graham Slee does do some things right and headphone amps are one of his strengths, so go out and hear one and you will love what it will do or your listening pleasure.

5 February 2009

Usher Be-616 now in stock

The all new Usher centre channel with beryllium tweeter is now in stock in black and ivory finishes.

We have tried this and well it matches so well the superb expression and timing of even the big Be10/20's when played off Blu-Ray discs, and yet when used with the smaller Be-718 it seems to integrate just as well giving such a fluidity to the whole presentation, we know this will be another big seller.

30 January 2008

Usher Mini 1 and 2 Dancer speakers

Well after comments from CES we will be launching the new Mini Dancer series shortly here in the United kingdom. Developed to replace the award winning 6 series speakers, they will be priced at a very competitive £2250 for the 2 drive unit Mini1, and £3000 for the 3 drive unit D'Appolito configuration Mini 2. Using the widely acclaimed Usher Beryllium Tweeter, and the same woofer as found in the award winning Be718, these floor standing beauties will feature all the traits of the big Dancers, but a smaller footprint and price tag.

January 2009

Well a Very Happy New Year to you all from HIAudio.
