What are the brightest stars among new audio companies?
Although, as noted last week, some companies falter, there are always new ones trying to establish themselves and grow. What are the brightest stars among new audio companies?
Quality and Elegance at In Living Stereo
<a href=" http://www.inlivingstereo.com/index.htm">In Living Stereo</a> is located at 13 East 4th Street, one door down from Other Music and just across from where Tower Records once stood tall. It's a great place for a hi-fi shop. To get there, you might take the 6 train to Astor Place, where you will climb right into a blur of so much height and movement and memory.
Black-Man's Burdon
The gatefold to <i>Black-Man's Burdon</i>. Possibly the greatest scene ever to decorate a LP jacket.
A Family of Shindo Gear
A gorgeous family of Shindo gear makes its home on a Box Furniture Co. rack ($3700), handmade in Brooklyn, New York.
Pure Elegance
The Shindo Player System Turntable costs $25,000, but seems worth every penny. "Look at it. It's pure elegance," says Steve Mishoe.
Verity Audio Leonore
The Verity Leonore loudspeaker ($15,995/pair) boasts a claimed efficiency of 93dB, meaning it'll require very few watts to really sing. Along with a compact footprint and graceful cabinet, the Leonore offered a detailed and involving sound, and wasn't afraid to rock.
A Large, Rambling Stack of Vinyl
In Living Stereo's Steve Mishoe keeps a large, rambling stack of vinyl nearby at all times.
Satisfied!
In Living Stereo's owner, Steve Mishoe, knows how to enjoy a good hi-fi.
