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 friends, I recently purchased the new Fiio DM15 R2R CD player from Apos Audio and have been slowly starting to use it over the past few weeks. That is a blue protective film on the top that I've yet to remove! I'm a big fan on the previous model, the DM13 and gave it a positive review on YouTube last year while comparing it against a Moondrop player: I haven't compared the sound signatures of the DM15 and the DM13 yet. I think most people assume that's the first thing I would test, but...
Hi Friends, I've reviewed a lot of newly released, modern CD players and one thing I've noticed is that the sound performance isn't the most important factor for me to consider. What I find to be most important is the feature set or really, just how the CD player works. Most new CD players offered today have the appropriate DAC design to sound fine and almost all new players have digital outputs to add an external DAC should you want to try and improve the sound. (My only advice is if you...
Hello friends, My Forever Analog YouTube channel will always have a main focus on gear updates, product reviews and physical media collecting. But, I also want to incorporate another video style in 2026 that simply focuses on music. I posted my first video in this format style a few weeks ago about bands from the 1990's that we've forgotten about, or at least aren't talked about as much as bands like Alice In Chains, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, Pearl Jam and more. I sell a lot of CDs by those...
