HiFi upgrade

After an initial email enquiry with Joey asking for advice in replacing my amp and speakers I went ahead and purchased a Naim XS3 and PMC Prodigy speakers.
A mains cable that I wanted was out of stock but Joey upgraded it at no extra cost.
Delivery arranged and arrived next day.
Would have no hesitation in recommending Audio Affair if you are looking to purchase HiFi.

Great support and quick shipment

I made an order for a turntable stylus that I urgently needed next day. I made an order 15 minutes before the cut-off time but was concerned it would not be dispatched on the same day.

I noticed they had a WhatsApp number, so I used this to ask them if my order would be shipped on the same day. Within the hour I got a message back confirming the shipment and a tracking number etc.

The support is very friendly and the quick next day shipment is very reassuring. Their competitive pricing gives me a good chance to use them again for my next audio-related purchases in the future.
