Brands That Died

In the early 80’s I had a Spectro Acoustic system the turner and pre amp were very good. 

 

Snell closed 2010

 

Thresholds been gone for decades 

 

 

Dahlquest is  also gone

Yep

But that said I'll ack that there is a lot of new material on YouTube that is very low quality and clearly the result of no expertise but access to AI.  Make a quick buck.

I'll also note that Mark Levinson (as they note right up front) is a brand owned by Harmon (owned by Samsung).  I believe his next company was Madrigal Audio Labs; then he did Cello with tom Colangelo. So more truth.  Not sure what XMBw4 is thinking.  

I like Fisher audio equipment made in LIC.

Yes,  mark200mph

Auralic was fantastic. The Vega DAC was a certified bargain. That was a lot of DAC for not a lot of money. In fact, I had to pay substantially more to get better.

I assume he just couldn't get the volume that he needed to get to keep it all rolling. His work was good enough to get serious reviews from mainstream reviewers, unfortunately, once again, I'll assume that takes money as well.

It's a rough business.
