    WHO WE ARE
    SkyFi Audio is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning, and reselling of select high end audio equipment. We only buy equipment that we admire and are passionate about. No mid-fi, no gimmicks, and no junk.
    Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well-equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ years of experience in the HiFi world. If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specifications, it will not be sold. We are very selective about the equipment we purchase, focusing on mostly analog, high-build quality, American, and European built units.

    Just picked up an Rs130. Fantastic streamer. Sounds better than my old Auralic Aries G2 and vastly better functionality.
    In the process of restoring an early 80s pair of Tannoy Eatons. Drivers and electronics excellent but building new cabinets due to water damage.
    Your store looks fantastic. If I wasn't 3000 miles away in Scotland I would love to visit. Those reel to reels are beautiful and put my ancient Sony to shame.

    Hi, Where did you get the foam for the tweeters on the JBL's? I am not sure if they are the same size of not but my L55 speakers need new foam to put around my tweeters.

      @@puciohenzap891 I've only seen pictures since mine didn't have them when I bought them. I figured it was a type of foam surround. It's black, I can at least tell that much. So are you saying that I don't need anything around them? I'm guessing that "faceplate" was removed when the speakers were re-foamed and the crossover rebuilt. It really seems that the woofer is 90% of the sound output on these speakers anyway.

    Great vid. Looking forward to your review of the SL-1000R and more of the Technic’s product line. I notice the exhaust system in video. What car is that one going to be installed in??? Music and cars, a great combo.

      But people buy it. I think since they work on the stuff, get it back to 'zero' and probably have a type of warranty on what they sell, even though it's used, people like that peace of mind. I can't afford their prices either but I wish them well. Good brick and mortar used audio shops aren't all that common.

      Peace of mind comes with a cost. If you have the skills and resources to manage the associated risk of buying the unknown then go for it. Others understand the value proposition and act accordingly.

    • @SkyFiAudio

      Everything we list eventually sells, so I guess there is market for super high quality curated stuff that has been serviced. Bargain shoppers should take their chances on eBay.

    Hilarious man, don’t want to come across as a hater etc. Nobody uses a reel to reel today. What will you use that for, recording digitized LP albums from the Technics turntable or FM broadcasts? Do you realize how ridiculous this is? I understand that it’s a neat thing to have but honestly, nobody cares. “Hey let’s play what I recorded on my reel to reel”. 🤣

      You can play recordings from fully analog LPs or 15 lps studio master tape copies from specialized audiophile outfits. The latter are very expensive but can sound amazing.

      In my opinion HiFi is hobby and folks partake for the fun of it as well as the listening experience. A nice reel to reel measures a 10 in the "fun scale". Folks want them and we have the sales figures to prove it. The silver one in the video sold on the same day it posted.
