Definitely a positive experience purchasing from Adventures in Hi-fi.
The guys there have a wealth of knowledge and experience but importantly there is no pressure selling. The demo was relaxed and we were not pushed in any particular direction but given advice and opinions. The installation was done with care and attention to detail, not rushed in any way. Very happy with the end result, the system sounds incredible. I'm happy to recommend adventures in Hi-fi to fellow enthusiasts.

The very best I have ever heard music!!
I’d like to thank Rob and the team for their patience over the last 5 years of upgrades. After a few false starts my Linn Akurate Katalyst DSM and active ATC SCM50s are the very best I have ever heard music!!

Linn Karousel bearing - WOW!
Re. the Karousel, I noticed a difference after an estimated 8 hours of running in, after 29 hours - WOW!

Best value for money upgrade.
The Silent Angel has to be the best value for money upgrade I've ever made.

Absolutely delighted with my whole new system.
Many thanks to this expert team who gave guidance and support throughout. I'm thoroughly enjoying the new set up - every music I own now needs re-listening-to! The service was never pushy or brand-focused but rather impartial and bang up to date with current products. This team really know their stuff and I wouldn't hesitate to return.

Just wanted to thank you again for the advice and the work you did on my LP12.
As expected, everything sounds so much more detailed, open and surefooted, in a very musical and enjoyable way. The Karousel and Lingo 4 have brought so much to the system. It's a very dramatic, but very well balanced change. Phil has done a fantastic job of setting it all up too. It's massively appreciated. Thank you!

The Sugden - Harbeth combination is just amazing!
In the study I now have tunes, timing and just music. What a combination. And with the Linn Sondek and Akurate feeding the system, I am not sure just where all the goodness is coming from. Thanks for the direction into this system.

I wasn’t quite sure what to expect [from the LP12 Karousel] given that I didn’t think the deck was lacking in any area.
But this new bearing really has moved things on to an even higher level. The silence between tracks is astounding and the sound has grown in scale too. It really drives the music along. The only down side for me is that I’ll need a second one for my other deck now!

Rob and Phil have been consummate experts assisting me in upgrading my system.
I'm now a Linn convert. The combination of Rob's love of music and Phil's engineering knowledge (not to mention a wealth of Hi-fi experience) ensured that I got the very best service and value for money. Never pushy but always allowing me to make informed choices based on what I heard during relaxed demos. The experience was a total pleasure. Thanks, guys.

I upgraded from a Cirkus to Karousel and the improvement is remarkable.
The amount of detail resolved by the deck has increased dramatically, instruments are much easier to pick out and the soundstage is superb. To put it simply, the deck is more “musical”. I have been digging through my LP collection and virtually rediscovering old albums, to the point of since getting my deck home I have not used my CD player (which is excellent) once. In sum, I am totally convinced and delighted with the improvements made by the Karousel and would recommend it wholeheartedly. Thanks for recommending it to me.

Getting a new Radikal power supply to replace the Lingo 4 and have the Karousel bearing thrown in was a deal not to be turned down!
And the benefits? Well, it's all there - the ability to 'listen into' the music, the timing(!) all up several notches. But the most amazing revelation was a box set of Madame Butterfly from Barbirolli, 1967. I bought this second hand and thought the record worn because of hearing some 'distortion' at passages that peaked. Guess what? All gone. How's that? Amazing. The combination, to use a well-worn expression, has just renewed my entire record collection. Thanks!

What Adventures In Hi-Fi don't know about Hi-fi equipment probably isn't worth knowing!
Rob looked after me and his in depth knowledge, honest, non-pushy advice was of great help. I upgraded my speakers to the Spendor D7.2 which are a beautiful speaker and make me now question why I didn't upgrade years ago. Thanks again Rob!!!
