Hi Everyone,

Welcome to the new subscribers here at the Forever Analog newsletter. I just passed 300 subscribers and to be honest, of all the numbers out there for Forever Analog, (3k Instagram followers, 6.5k YouTube subs, etc), this 300 is the most special to me.

Thank you for joining me here to talk about my audio journey and reviewing products that hopefully can help you build a great audio system as well.

​(Insert Andrew Gold's Thank You For Being A Friend here)​

That being said, I realized this newsletter wasn't allowing replies and have corrected the issue, so please feel free to drop me a reply here, I love reading your emails, thoughts and answering questions as needed!

Let's jump into this weeks updates...

TWIN POWER!

I have bought (and sold) several Harman Kardon 430 receivers over the years and I was able to get my hands on another one a few weeks ago.

I couldn't wait to make a proper YouTube video about this receiver because people are paying out the you-know-what for vintage audio receivers and this is one that consistently flies under the radar and can still be found for a great price.

One of the things that makes this receiver so special is its "Twin Power" feature, which means it has dual power supplies, one for each channel, allowing for better channel separation and audio playback.

Even better, it can often be found for less than $300, which is a steal considering what people are paying for units by Marantz, Pioneer and Sansui.

Aiyima A01 Pro

I've reviewed a lot of class D amplifiers since starting my YouTube channel last year. Honestly, the companies have reached out to me and have been gracious in sending me products to review and as someone who is operating his channel in the red (meaning I buy all the products I review), it's nice to review these amps when I'm saving up to buy a new item.

That being said, after reviewing the stack of gear above, I find myself trying to determine what exactly stands out with these amps, as I feel like I'm reviewing the same product over and over.

Well, thankfully the Aiyima A01 Pro has one feature that makes it stand out from the rest of the amps I've reviewed.

Schiit Rekkr Blog Review

This weekend I posted my blog review of the Schiit Rekkr amplifier, a tiny little 2 watt amp that I've fallen in love with for my office audio listening system.
