Fanthorpes HiFi - The Week Ahead 19th - 24th March

Hi everyone, we're hoping this will become a weekly post. With us aiming to publish a new article every Friday or Saturday.

The idea is to give you an insight into our working week here at Fanthorpes HiFi. With what demonstrations we are doing in store and in customers’ homes, services we offer, as well as give you an insight into the distances we travel over a working week.

Hope you enjoy the read…

Monday 19^th March

This week kicks off with a nice Ortofon cartridge set up. We’re traveling just south of the river Humber to Lincoln, a customer contacted us asking for our advice on a cartridge upgrade for his Project Xtension 10 turntable. The Xtension 10 came fitted with the 2M bronze cartridge, but he has now made the jump up to the Ortofon 2M Black.

Tuesday 20^th March

Tuesday sees us kick thing of with another turntable install, only this one is a little further away. We’ll be heading down to Brighton on the south coast. We try our best to group jobs together that are as far away as Brighton is, so we’ve got a few jobs lined up for Tuesday.

As I mentioned before though, first up is a turntable install. This customer part exchanging their AVID Ingenium turntable, beyerDynamic AKT5P headphones and Astell and Kern AK240 against the AVID Diva II SP turntable.

Once that is all set up, we’ll be heading to our second job in Brighton, this time a home audition. Electronics wise we’ll set up the Luxman L-590AX II Integrated and DA-06 DAC set up alongside the Innuos Zenith and Project Xtension 10 turntable, with the PMC Fact 12 or Twenty5 26 as options for speakers.

For our last installation of the day we head back up north, only slightly, to Rochester to set up a Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 800 Amplifier. This big, robust integrated is being part exchanged against a Musical Fidelity A300 integrated and A3cr pre amplifier. An upgrade we’re sure our customer will love. They’ve also asked if we could bring along some demo speaker cable, which of course we said yes to.

Wednesday 21^st March

With the distance travelled and work done on Tuesday we’ll set off from a local hotel. On the way back to Hull we’ll be stopping off in Romford to install another Musical Fidelity Nu-Vista 800, with our customer part exchanging a Sugden Masterclass IA-4. Making the switch from one big integrated to another.

Thursday 22^nd March

Thursday we have a couple of demos. In the morning a customer is bringing in their Cyrus Stream X Signature for a firmware upgrade, while this is happening he’s asked to hear both the Innuos Zen Mini and Zenith in a streamer shoot out.

Then in the afternoon we have a turntable demonstration to set up. The SME Model 15 is the deck under the spot light, which will be on the Luxman L-590 integrated using with PMC Fact 12 Speakers.

Friday 23^rd March

Another day on the road awaits us, with a trip down to Hanley Swan in Worcestershire on the cards. This time it’s a dual REL subwoofer install. We will be picking up two Avantgarde SUB 225 subwoofers and exchanging them for two imposing REL 212/SE Subwoofers.
