New Speakers
Our team spends the necessary time to find what the best speaker is for each particular console. Then, using a calibration microphone and computer software, they get custom tuned to match the console cabinet they’ll be installed in.
- We’ve worked with Polk Audio, JBL, Monoprice, Elac, Martin Logan, OSD Audio, KEF, Sonance and many more manufacturers.
- Our unique approach ensures the best audio performance possible.
Record Player
Using a modern, high quality, audiophile-grade turntable allows the user to experience the highest audio quality when listening to their favorite records without worrying about reliability or the potential availability of stylus replacements.
- We typically use belt-driven turntables equipped with cartridges and stylus that are easy to replace and readily available.
- We’ve worked with plenty of manufacturers, but primarily, use European-made Pro-Ject turntables.
Each of our consoles is unique and can take several months to complete. We take the time required to do it right, to an exquisitely high standard. From the expert restoration and refinishing work at Vintage Source to restoring knobs and switches and repurposing them to perform their modern-day equivalent to ensure the magic of tactility is not lost and it still used to control the consoles basic functionality.
