Multimedia fun

For a long time, audio and video equipment manufacturers have promoted values such as functionality and miniature. We are used to the fact that the smaller the device and the more opportunities it has, the better it is. However, in the wake of the general interest in vintage and retro, these parameters lose their meaning. Very old-fashioned things are becoming popular, the appearance of which causes nostalgia for times when the new record Pink Floyd or Deep Purple was the highest value. These are tube amplifiers and turntables. This technique (originally from the 70s) looks extremely conservative, often takes up a lot of space and is unable to satisfy all the multimedia needs of its owner at once. But, being staged at home, she discovers in her master a real music lover, a person who treats music as something alive. And, although the difference in sound between high-quality digital and tube amplifiers is almost elusive, I still want to make a choice in favor of the latter. The lamp gives a feeling of special sound, so many well-known companies are now returning to its use.
