Vintage Note does not distribute new equipment from a particular brand. We offer a selection of vintage second-hand high-fidelity equipment. We do pick up a unit if its reputation, its quality and its current state do match our expectations, both in terms of audio prestations and optical presentation.
Our stock is therefore limited, moving, and presenting rare to find items.
We have a biais for loudspeakers that is generally related to the "BBC sound" or the "West Coast Sound"; simply because they belong to the history of the audio recording of their age. We have a good selection of Solid-state Japan-built amplifiers for a similar reason, because we think they were so representative of the era. (It is a sad note to mention, but the commercial success of these amplifiers came with the GI's coming back from Vietnam where they discovered those powerful, new generation Japanese amplifiers).
Our philosophy at Vintage Note is to share our passion by making this listening experience affordable. We are convinced that if you have a taste for the music of the last decades of the 20th century, having the opportunity to own a vintage system will multiply your pleasure, and is to be considered as an investment regarding the experience you will be proud to share with your friends and relatives.
