Oxford Audio Consultants - Astra launch event - 21 November

I too would like to listen to the Astra A/B versus the Expert Pro, however, seeing that they are planning four sessions in one afternoon I suspect that they have a planned structure and agenda for each session, and A/B testing will not be part of this. There is no harm in asking though. 

It would show a certain confidence in the Astra if they were demonstrating it back to back with the Expert, but I expect that this event will be a bit like visiting the Devialet room at a hifi show, you will get to hear the latest kit, some technical and maybe some marketing speak, and that will be it.

That said, from my past experience with Oxford Audio Consultants, for customers seriously considering a purchase they have always been very willing to facilitate A/B testing in their shop, and sometimes happy to loan kit for customers to try at home. So A/B testing would be a possibility for anyone seriously considering a purchase, in the fullness of time.
