I review home audio products on my blog and YouTube channel, along with tips and tricks to get the best sound possible out of your home stereo!
Will I see you at my first YouTube live stream TONIGHT (Monday, 2.5.24)?
Hello Hifi Friends,
I'm attempting my first live stream on YouTube, tonight, (Monday, 2.5.24) at 7pm CST.
The purpose of the live stream is to hang out and answer questions, but I'll also have a stack of cheap CDs (and some vinyl and cassettes) that I've recently purchased to show you in between questions. There are a couple of CDs that surprised me...especially finding a one released by an indie record label I interned for in Los Angeles almost 25 years ago!
I believe you can follow this link today and it will notify you of when the stream begins this evening.
Again, feel free to bring any questions you have and I'll do my best to answer them!
Introducing My New Vintage Booth!
Last summer, I stumbled on an opportunity to open up a vintage booth inside a new antique store, Four Sisters Vintage and Antiques in Murfreesboro, TN.
After a few scheduling setbacks with construction, the store finally opened in November of last year and I have three months of selling under my belt, with sales increasing each month!
It's been a lot of fun stocking this booth with vinyl, cassettes, CDs, shirts and stereo gear, but the items that sell the fastest are always...VCRs! Each time I drop one off at the booth, it sells within 24 hours. Wild.
This year I've also signed up for selling at more record or vintage shows, starting with the first DIG show that took place in Franklin, TN, back in January. That show was a huge hit and I hope it happens again later this year.
In the meantime, I have three shows coming up, two in March and one in April. I will send more info on those as they are officially announced.
I'm always on the lookout for people selling their vinyl, cassette or CD collections to stock the booth so let me know if you'd be interested or know anyone downsizing their collection!
That's all for now - I will send some more specific gear info on items I've reviewed in my next newsletter.
Hope to see you tonight on YouTube!
Keep it analog,

Hi friend, Most of the audio related questions I receive involve buying a DAC. There are so many options now that people get "analysis paralysis" and can't make a confident decision. In today's YouTube video, I try to highlight common mistakes people make when shopping for a DAC with the hopes of helping make the process easier: My most common advice is to give yourself time with each piece of gear before upgrading. If you upgrade too quickly, you'll never know the baseline sound signature of...
Hi friends, In the early 1980s, Sony was a leader, along with Philips, in the design, implementation and release of CDs and CD players. Today, Sony no longer makes CD players. In my new YouTube video, I spend time marveling at Sony's engineering on a player they released in 1986, while also trying to understand why they stopped making players today: I enjoyed making this video and hope you do too. Have a great week! Aaron
Hi friends, First, the Forever Analog YouTube channel passed 50,000 subscribers this weekend. I started this channel as a way to help friends with their audio gear purchases and hitting this kind of milestone is very surreal. I appreciate any of you who subscribe and take time out of your busy day to watch my videos. Speaking of YouTube... I thought it would be fun to compare a vintage CD player with a new model, but make sure it was the same manufacturer. So, I bought two Denon CD players,...
