The amazing TRX-PM84 from Triode Corporation of Japan is now on display. This beautiful tube integrated features a built in digital to analogue converter with a port for a memory stick and a USB port that can process high resolution 192k files from your computer. It also has a very sweet and musical built-in phono preamp for your turntable as well as a headphone jack. It uses EL84 output tubes to produce 15 watts of luscious tube power. It’s compact and able to do pretty much everything one would need. It also looks really cool too! At $2,795 it is an excellent “do everything” solution for a person who values great sound and great looks.

Here are our  WE753s in beautiful Macassar Ebony. If you always wanted a Shindo horn loudspeaker but needed it to have a smaller visual foot print, then this is your baby. The 753s beautiful Danish modern design is understated yet exotic; it’s the smallest speaker in the Shindo line that has both a 15″ woofer and a field coil equipped high frequency compression driver. They combine unmatched dynamics with a visceral sense of immediacy. You can also tune the speaker to your room with an adjustable crossover on the back panel. Please call ahead if you would like a demonstration.

CNET’s Steve Guttenberg, the “Audiophilliac”, stopped by the new store for a chat and a listen a few days ago. Besides being a very nice guy in general, Steve promotes Hi-Fi and music with a dedication that deserves high praise. He understands music’s importance both personally and culturally and also understands the important role music stores play. I’m grateful Steve understands In Living Stereo’s mojo, great sound and great music. Go to Article

We are very, very pleased with our new Line Magnetic integrated amplifiers, build quality and value are substantial. The beautiful hammertone finish harkens one back to a by gone era and the tonal quality is as pure as it gets for anywhere near the price. At $1,650, the 211IA offers performance that you’d expect for twice the price.  We are really stoked about Line Magnetic, now we have another tube line that offers our customers a chance at the elusive dictum called “Pride of ownership”. Come in for an audition.

The $350 Wharfedale Diamond 10.1 loudspeakers are here. Wharfedale is one of the world’s oldest loudspeaker manufacturers, they were making speakers when my grand daddy was still gigging. The diamond series have been getting some serious attention, reviews have been off the charts. Now for the big question. Do we like them? YES! They are amazing for the money. Partner these up with our new Line Magnetic (LM Audio) mini 218 tube integrated amp ($795) and you’ve got a beautiful tube driven system for under $1200!

The editor of Gear Patrol, Eric Yang, visited the store this past fall and wrote about his experience . We enjoyed a morning of searching through  LPs in the ILS record store and then listening to the music on our Shindo 301 turntable in our new reference sound room. Gear Patrol is an online website that reports on luxury products in every category, from exotic cars to watches, clothes to aircraft (yes, aircraft) and everything else you could possibly imagine in between.  Check out what he had to say about In Living Stereo.
