Just a quick PSA for our fans and customers:
We don't typically bring in new releases automatically. We unfortunately do not have the room. So if you are looking for something, please let us know before hand, we will try to get it in for you.

With Al out east buying, this conundrum will be real.
We already know some killer speakers will be making their way back. We can't wait to see what else will be in store for you all here at Analog Vault.

Update #2: So yesterday went to some of my old audio hunting grounds and as always found some gems at Take5Audio in Middlebury, CT. A pair of Boston Acoustics A-150 loudspeakers and a pair of Snell Acoustics Type E II loudspeakers, soon to be on display at Analog Vault. Currently at Analog Vault, the last of the replacement Vacuum tubes arrived last week for the Conrad Johnson MV-60 Power Amp, got her biased and performing as sweet as ever and ready for a new owner. Also now ready for a new owner is a classic Yamaha Natural Sound series M-4 power amp from the late '70's early '80's 120watts/channel powerhouse.

As some of you already know I am out east this week looking for goodies to bring back to the shop, but I forgot to post some updates before I left so here they are, DON'T PANIC! I'm not going to flood your feed with countless posts, I'll spread them out. The first and big one is an update on the expansion of Analog Vault's floor space that I reference back on New Year's Eve, well it is finally happening!, we've hammered out all the paper stuff have a contractor lined up and if all goes to plan we should be starting the actual build out here pretty soon.

One last test of the dual stage motor on this Grafonola, after about 8 minutes of play time about one discs worth of music the player is still holding speed at 78 rpm really damn good, all this speed accuracy coming from a simple centrifugal governor. At times I am still amazed at what our great parents come up with without using electricity!

Here are some pictures of the mechanics of that Grafonola. Unfortunately the last person to service this player about 15 or 20 years ago according to the grandmother, had the brilliant idea to use motor grease and they pack the two stage spring motor full of it! I wish I had taken a picture when I first took the mechanicals out I scraped off about a pint of motor grease of the assembly. It was nasty and stank!

This is something that we normally don’t do but I couldn’t say no to an 82 year old grandmother who misses her music. Brought back to life a 116 year old Columbia Grafonola. Not a volt to be found in this player, pure mechanical ingenuity!
