If the old wiring from the Czar's Palace by Faberge ever does surface, I'd like to get a small hank and have Jadem6 do his magic with them!
Russian made amps?
We have many Russian ex-pat amp designer's that are well known in the industry for their expertise. However, does anyone know of any Russian made gear that is sold in the west, or for that matter, in Russia only? I would expect there to be some great gear from Russia..

Here's a link with brief overview of soviet/russian classic audio components http://goldenageofaudio.blogspot.com/2011/11/ussr-audio-classics.html |
It is still a bit mysterious to me as a westener living through the silver and black ages of Hi-Fi, exactly what the Russians were listening to, from 1950s to 1990s. It is unclear what such accomplished engineers such as Victor Khomenko and Vlad Lamm were working on. The eastern bloc included East Germany with its version of Telefunken but other than that it is obscure. The one thing that isn't is their production of useful audio tubes dating back to the at least the early 60s. They weren't limited to audio uses so it is still a bit murky what equipment they went in to. Compare this with other consumer niceties like gold watches and you can find the various vintage watches on Ebay. |
