Apple and Firestone

Paul McGowan of PSA audio wrote recently in his monthly text very interesting topic. He's writing about Apple TV box. It offers very nice and cheap media playback. And every thing is packed into great small aluminum box. You can connect it directly to your amplifier via rca jacks. This means that you can store all of you music combined of mp 3's, wav, aiff or flac at one place with the simple and top class Apple software on top.

What is even greater is optical output. If you want better quality audio; " no problemo!" Just connect Firestone audio Spitfire Dac if you have or grab one here from Miniature audio.

This open up so much more possibilities. It enhance audio drastically. Your ears will thank you.

Back to the plastics

You might be following the phenomena with vinyl. It is the only physical audio media which sells are increasing in past two years. I finally found some time to set up the turntable. Korora phone pre-amplifier is on the way from Miniature audio and I'm all excited. There is still so much music which is only available on the vinyl.

For those of you who didn't have a chance to experience the whole analog listening fun. It' never been more affordable to get into vinyl nirvana.

If you want to get yourself a doze of music in kind of going to concert way, then invest few hundreds $.

In hand

Back from the trip I had to go. Recently I add Firestone power supplier into the audio chain. Many of audio fans can be very skeptic about the use of additional supply unit. Well, trust me. Well constructed power supply can really enrich whole audio experience. Power supplier is only few days in the rig and I could quickly distinguish the difference. I'll report more in this regard after having it around for a while.

Have a good and peaceful musical day.

The Little Country is Coming SOON

After almost a year in development, the re-release of the Little Country III is coming!

We are happy to announce that coming in the VERY near future, you will be able to purchase Firestone Audio's Little Country here at Miniature Audio. This preamp/Headphone amplifier promises to deliver, and as soon as we have them in stock they will be here for everyone to purchase.

I should warn you first hand, we already have a waiting list started, and these will sell out as soon as we get our shipment so if you want one of these right away send us an email at: info@miniatureaudio.com so we can add you to the list! This will make you one of the FIRST people in North America to have this newest hi-tech gadget.

Above is a pic of the new Little Country. Please keep in mind, this is just a prototype until we get the real version. I will post pics of the "real" Little Country as soon as it arrives!

Jumping the wagon

It is time for all of us to adjust to what is coming. It's the time for digital audio. I notice that Chesky records are going into high resolution downloads. Also Reference Recordings are starting to offer even better resolution recordings. They're putting to the market direct copies of digital masters.

So it's good time to turn on your Firestone product and run some pure digital heaven into your Spitfire digital to analog converter and feed your favorite cans with enough gain from your Cute beyond.

For that analog enthusiast within you can always fire up Korora phono preamp.
Tune in!
