OCD alert 🚨 8 out of 10 times we get a Sansui G-series from this era, that original sticker is still intact. We never pull them if they're in good shape — it's part of the history. Would YOU remove it or keep it? Drop your vote below 👇

200,000.

Honestly, we never set out to hit a number. We set out to talk about old hi-fi gear with anyone who'd listen — and somehow 200,000 of you decided to listen.

This channel exists because of the people in the comments debating turntable setups at midnight and everyone who's ever shared a video with a friend and said "you need to see this."

Skylabs is ten years old this year. 200K feels like the right way to mark it.

Thank you. Genuinely. Now let's keep going — there's a lot more hi-fi history left to dig up. 🎙️

We are having the most wild and chaotic week, but in the best way! We are extremely excited for our newly updated, completely overhauled website to have gone live.
On top of that, we can't wait to share time and space on Saturday at our 10th Anniversary edition Listening Event. Looking forward to seeing all the familiar smiles, and meeting all the newcomers! We will be displaying various different brands in unique configurations, doing some fun Blind A-B tests, reps will be available for questions. We are also amped to have Ed aka "Old Guy Hifi" hanging out with us for the day.
Heck, There might even be some goody bags and door prize giveaways!?!

10am-3pm guaranteed, possibly later depending how the day goes.
We really anticipate this being a day 10 years in the making. Come hang out!

What's the best soundtrack for a bad movie?"

It's Format Friday! Today we're talking about times where a movies soundtrack was the most redeeming quality it had going. It's fascinating when a film fails to land its story or visuals, yet the soundtrack becomes a cultural touchstone. It makes you wonder—can a soundtrack actually "save" a bad movie experience? Or does it just make the disappointment more melodic?

What’s your pick for the best soundtrack tied to a "so-bad-it’s-good" film?

What's your go-to holiday weekend records?

Something about spring/summer on a porch listening to Exile on Main Street and Creedence. It's been a ritual of mine for years.

Hope to see a lot of you at the upcoming 10th Anniversary Listening Party on June, 6th!

Have an excellent Memorial Day weekend!

Who had the most memorable closeup headshot as an album cover?
Whether it was a closeup of the artist/s, or a random person / character, there have been a lot of iterations of the closeup album cover over the years.
Which was your favorite?
