2B Radio above vintage 70’s Pioneer Tuner

I have a radio going almost all day. Radio emits a certain warm intimacy – it wakes me in the morning and tucks me in at night. Background or forground – NPR or classic jazz – it’s my daily personal soundtrack. Before a recent move I had to unload my big-rig (VAC/SoundLab) vacuum tube hi-fi.

HiFi Soda: Listening never looked like this

HiFi Soda: The convergence of hifi and design. We put a spotlight on artisan, handcrafted, sometimes retro, hifi components for loft, home, workplace, or bar/lounge. Our philosophy shuns complicated mass produced boring home theater stuff. We love analog, vacuum tube, pure stereo, and all style and sound. You’ll be stunned by the sound and style. Listening never looked this good.
