195.0. "Audio Innovation price/dealers" by PDVEUS::BORTOLAMI () Thu Aug 16 1990 18:13

    Hi folks,
    
    i'm thinking to travel to England next fall ,so i'm interested in
    purchasing an Audio Innovation Mod. 500 ( an integrated tube ampli)
    if it's cheaper than in Italy (it's rated around 1150-1200 pounds).
    
    
    I'll run in the London-Oxford area , so i'd like to know the names of two
    or three dealers around there.
    
    Many thanx for your help

     In Oxford, there are 3 dealers (one with two branches) that I could 
    safely recommend to anyone.
    
     In order of (my) preference :-
          OXFORD ACCOUSTICS
            Cantay House
            Park End Street
    
          WESTWOOD & MASON
            George St.
    
          2 branches of ABSOLUTE SOUND & VIDEO
            One at Old High St. in Headington and
            another on Banbury Rd. in Summertown
    
    Hope this is useful

re .1:

The name of that first dealer is Oxford Audio Consultants, but the address is
right.  The phone number is +44 865 790879.  I believe I did see an Audio
Innovations Series 500 last time I was there, but it'd be a good idea to phone
to make sure.  The guy there is very helpful and well-informed.

Oxford Acoustics isn't a dealer, but is the manufacturer of a rather beautiful
record deck, the Crystal Reference, which OAC do stock.  I spent an enjoyable
afternoon listening to one there.  Didn't buy one though.

    Sorry about the mis-name, the dealer is Oxford Audio Consultants, and
    the guy's name is Jon Harker.

Does anybody have experience with the L2-GD pre-amplifier from Audio Innovations?

    Audio Innovations have just sent out a load of paperwork about their
    new Alto range of kit (Richer Sounds are the only place doing the
    distribution).  On top of their excellent integrated amp which is the
    sexiest thing to stand atop a table (excluding the obvious line about
    Claudia Schiffer et al), they've also brought out a CD in the same
    style, black or chrome.  The tuner is available next year.
    
    If you want more info, give 'em a call (UK) on -
    
    01305 761017 
    
    Or if anyone's interested they can have the factsheets I have.
