Brinkmann Bardo Turntable Unboxing

We have just got in a shipment of brand-new in-box AudioQuest NightHawk headphones. These are a semi-open design, so they offer high-quality sound, but they are acoustically permeable. You will hear your environment, and other people can hear your music. From AudioQuest, "The open-back design of NightHawk’s speaker enclosures—its earcups—enables an expanded, three-dimensional soundstage with natural dynamics and smooth, coherent performance that extends into the lowest and highest octaves."

Our most recent Arcam customer is a professional musician. He has a huge collection of CDs, as well as DVDs of operas and concerts. He is also a cinephile with a large movie collection, both box-office hits, and art cinema. He is, as you can imagine, a discerning consumer. However, he did not want separate music and cinema systems. He wanted the one system in his living room to deliver high-quality two-and multi-channel audio, as well as high-definition video. We didn't hesitate: his receiver

If you're even slightly interested in digital audio, you're sure to have heard of Roon. But what is it, and more important, why do you care? Roon: Why Do I Even Want to Know What It Is? 1) You're a vinyl-only, or primarily vinyl listener who is considering easy access background music. You do all your listening, or at least all your critical listening on a turntable. But sometimes, you just want music playing when people are over, or when you're in kitchen or garage. Roon makes multi-zone audio

There are many speaker brands you can order in any color you want, but electronics tend to be silver, grey, or black.

Buy anything from the HV series in any color from the RAL swatch book. Choose from different paint types, including a high-quality car paint finish to match your Wilson Audio speakers.

What audiophile wants a disco turntable? Yes, we know the Technics turntable is potentially confusing. It looks like the beloved DJ turntable of old, but performs (and is priced) at a much higher level. Michael Fremer addresses this in his March 24, 2017, review on Analog Planet. He writes, "Among some SL-1200 fans, the announced $4000 price turned delight to outrage. It was, after all “just” an SL-1200 so obviously Technics was ‘price gouging’. Among non-fans, any turntable that looked like an

Stop dreaming, start streaming! The case for digital audio is getting stronger every day. Consider Aurender, with its seamless Tidal integration. This means you can access the streaming service from the iPad app (called Conductor), and when you "favorite" albums from Tidal, they will show up in your library, ready to play. (Note that they aren't actually downloaded.) Also, the Aurender A10, currently the only Aurender product with a DAC, is fully MQA enabled. This means you can play albums from

HRS is very clear about this. Its products are not "racks", a word that conjures images of cheap metal structures (or Medieval torture devices). HRS makes "audio stands", and at Sunny's we go a step further. We believe HRS makes an essential component in your audio system, just like your turntable or amplifier or cables or power products.  Okay, it's true that you could put your system on a cheap side table and it'll work. Without cables or an amp, however, all you hear is tinnitus. But will

Don't forget, while we love our loudspeakers here at Sunny's, we also cater to canny individuals who prefer the high-value-for-money sound quality of personal audio. One of the most exciting products in the store is no larger than your thumb, the AudioQuest DragonFly Red (pictured in the banner). These are back-ordered at AudioQuest, even dealers can't get personal stock of this USB DAC. We have four of this $199 giant-killer in stock today. Plug it into the USB port of your computer and
