The entry level IsoTek NeoPlug is a “wall wart” that plugs into any power strip and instantly takes out the glare and haze coming from your mains. For $115 you will vastly improve your entire system. It also improves the contrast and color of computer monitors and TV’s.

I’ve never been a fan of power conditioners because they usually suck the musicality and flow out of the music. I’ve tried a few well known offerings but was never impressed. They just made everything sound weird. Interconnects? Yes, they can make a difference, but only to the source it’s plugged into. This makes a huge difference to the ENTIRE SYSTEM! So, finally. Here’s a solution / product I can stand behind. You know by now that I’m skeptical of “tweaks” until proven. Come by for a demo! More IsoTek will be coming in soon. This is just a taste of what it can do!

Just IN!! The Primare I21 integrated amp and CD21 CD Player!

Series 60 coming SOON!
I’d love to throw back a few beers with this guy. I bet he’s good people. They probably blow away over half the speakers at CES.
I remember growing up in upstate New York and seeing these commercials. Classic low brow stuff. The Crazy Eddie empire came crashing down due to fixed books and possible mob ties. Not much has changed. Big Box stores are just slicker and sell cheaper electronics. At least Crazy Eddie was entertaining! INSAAAAANE!
Grado Labs is pleased to announce the introduction of our new model headphone. GR8!
The GR8 is Grado’s first in-ear transducer.
It is an elegant wide bandwidth single magnet armature design which results in a musical clarity and character that is the signature of Grado engineering and voicing.
An additional benefit of this approach in design is that it results in a device that is smaller and lighter than the competition and therefore much more comfortable to wear in the ear.
As a result of precision hand crafting it is exceptional in reproducing vocals. Its clarity in mass instrument recordings is unsurpassed. Realistic spatial definition is quite apparent also. $299

The highly awarded Leben CS300 integrated amp is now available for audition (along with it’s big brother, the CS600). Hand made in Japan by Mr. Hyodo (from Luxman fame), point to point wiring, 12 watts, EL84 tubes. $2995. This is the kind of Hi-Fi product that actually goes up in value. You’ll pass this one on to the kids, just like Grandpa did with his McIntosh…
That’s right Y’all! I’ve been schlepping the Hi-Fi for 15 years now! I started off as a trunk slammer wiring McMansions. I had a dream and a living room which I turned into a home business. Lines like Rega and Naim had faith in me. I made the fatal mistake of signing a nasty lease for my first shop. Spent 3 years at the “School Of Hard Knocks” trapped in said lease. I figured out what brands play music and who the “good guys” are promoting / distributing them. So………

Top 10 possible reasons I’m still in business:
*
1. Dumb Luck.
2. There ain’t no shame in my game.
3. You’ll get treated the same if you roll up in a Porshe or on a skateboard.
4. YOU!!! Thanks for your trust in doing business with me! It’s appreciated.
5. I stock brands that I believe in and will still be in business in 15 years.
6. I own my space and am no longer raped by greedy landlords.
7. I love music and even play semi professionally.
8. I’m (sometimes painfully in a Larry David kind of way) honest.
9. Killer Customer Service!
10. I have a fully stocked bar at the shop and I like to share.
Roky played my favorite Pub!! It was insane and surreal! I love Austin!!!

I will be extremely happy to meet with you. I live quite close to the shop so most times I can be called at a moments notice. Just call. 512-784-8282 I’ll be holding loose shop hours (nothing unusual, eh?) so calling is key. I’ll be there as much as humanly possible.
