De Vere Cranage Estate, June 27th & 28th


North West Audio Show never disappoints and 2026 was no different. 5,500 visitors, lots of great sounding rooms, some really interesting new stuff, blistering sunshine and demonstrations to match!

Our room went like a fair – with a constant flow of listeners on both days from start to finish – and a queue outside the door at several points.

The new Peak Sinfonias, Accuphase electronics and LP12 turntable attracted much admiration, but it was the A/B demonstrations of MusicWorks own products that triggered the biggest reaction.

A great deal of oo-ing and ah-ing, a few disbelieving shakes of the head, and some jaws actually hitting the proverbial floor… especially during The Silence of the CLAMs 😲

Our new cable damper, AcouPly CLAM, was our star of the show. Visitors, journalists, other exhibitors and even staff were continually amazed by the profound impact CLAM had on what they heard. With CLAMs on – ‘improved musical coherence, nuance of notes, overall detail, crispness, accuracy and just better’ were just some of the observations.

And when we removed CLAMs from the system, the CLAMour from the audience to reinstate them was immediate, and loud!

Production is in full swing and CLAM is now available to buy. At just £100 each, “a stonking bargain” as one visitor put it. Get in touch to order, various cable diameters are available.

Many thanks to everyone who visited, and a very big thank you also to our own teams for their hard work, enthusiasm and energy throughout the weekend. It’s people that make this business worthwhile, and fun 😊

We can take a break now from HiFi shows for a while, but all of the products from NWAS and more are always available for auditioning, just get in touch or drop into AudioWorks.
