My girlfriend has a temporary contract in Vancouver, so I am visiting her.I did a visit to Canadas biggest Vintage store. Innoative Audio.Innoative Audio is the most humble, nice human, fun shop experience I have have had in my life, and the shop experience is a once in a lifestyle thing.Me to the right and Gordon who owns the shop to the leftThere are so much vintage audio, 70 ths classic in this shop that it will blow your mind.Mcintosh, Pionner Spec series, aso asoSome parts are like museum exhibitions.Magazines, books, vinyl records, 8 tracks, its way more then audio it is a culture experience.Their storage consist of units after units, and many old classic in NOS- unbelivableone corner of the store with classicsR2RPart of the repairroom NOS Dual parts - un-fucking belivable.One of 4 4 workbenches in the repair shopHappy cannuck that leaves the shoip with his Audio Pro B2-40 subwoofer that was first in the late 70th with negativ feedback, through its patented ACE technology to go one octave deeper, an invention that Yamaha later bought. That investion and Audio Pro is Swedish.....anyway...My girlfriend wanted some computer speakers to play music through.The thought to go to a computer store and buy a couple computer speakers in the range of 70 bucks made me vomit.So Innoative Audio sold me a Beomaster 900 for 20 bucks, and in a pawnshop I found these small Denon Speakers designed by Mission and made in UK for 40 bucks, My girldfriend got a vintage stereo with dignity, integrity and history, 100 times more charming then some chinese *** for the same money...and gues what,, it sounds redicolously good for 60 bucks .She is happy :) :) :)
My re-capped M75 are my precious diamonds.
Wow, what a great find, great pics as well, just had a look at their website, some amazing stuff there, thanks for posting
I am glad you had such a good experience with this shop.
Sadly they were unable to repair my McIntosh amp and returned my Beogram 8000 in a state beyond repair, at no charge.
