Some on topic ideas: LP record collectors, Sound Burger; Vintage stereo hobbyists, Vintage TT head shell; Tube enthusiasts, a (NOS) vacuum tube (if you manage to get one that is in their equipment, so much better); Analog audio hobbyist, vintage NOS cassettes or reel to reel tapes (or branded take up spool); Analog audiophile, boutique head shell wires.

A few years ago, I gave a suitcase player to a friend who's also into HiFi, as a gag gift. We had some fun playing Barbra Streisand on it and using it for target practice in his back yard and finished it off with the lawn mower! 👍 Last year I gave him some miniature Technics 1200 turntables in various colors, they look fun and are very detailed.

Good video Kevin! Greatly appreciate your videos each week.

[@GrahamKHadley]

Absolutely agree on the headphones. My dad was on the Kittyhawk during Vietnam. He sent me home a pair of Pioneer headphones, the SE 50s, they used to listen to incoming pilots. For the duration of his deployment, I listened to his favorite song, Cracklin Rosie, until the vinyl gave out. Years later, my brother mixed his first EDM set on my 1200s using that same headset. That set has been retired, but last year for Christmas, I tracked down three of those on eBay for under $30 for me and my brothers, complete with original boxes, extra coiled cords and instructions. Funny thing, we are all DJs, and these old Pioneers stand up to just about anything out there today.

[@hjalmarfossi5728]

Definitely gonna be a fun one

[@donliesman309]

Maybe a little impersonal, but a gift card from your favorite record store can be fun. You might buy something you might otherwise pass on because of the price. Goes along with your suggestion of audiophile recordings. Great channel! Thanks

[@j.patrickmoore9137]

Now I'm thinking that I need to trek across town and check out the oldest stereo store in the area. Thanks for the encouragement to buy local.

Re-animator!!!! So good!

Thxs Kevin some good info nice.....Thxs again

Heads Up - IC you have a cold. Try a medium clove of garlic on a very empty stomach - Cut the stem off, crush and remove peel, chop fine etc, then down the hatch with just enough water to get it down nicely. Repeat 1-2 times/day for at least 3 days. You will likely reduce cold symptoms by 90% within 5-6 hours.

Nice positive video!

[@skylabsaudio]

[@CraigHollabaugh]

[@ethimself5064]

Note: I only buy locally if possible. And for electronics, so far 100% local. Especially security apps. They are always on sale locally many time a year big time

[@ethimself5064]

Curious - do you agree with Neil Young on the vinyl sound?

[@marcosmarcell1188]

I have a set JVC (Victor Company of Japan), I wanted a Nipper, How can I get one here in Brazil?

[@ctw2450]

Hi Kevin. Enjoy your videos. Tried ordering an item. Is the 10% reflected in the price shown, or should it be listed on the order tabulation? Thank you, keep up the good work!

[@skylabsaudio]

Thank you! Yes any item that says "sale" in the photo, has been price adjusted. Skylabsaudio.com/shop

[@bkoestring]

Where did you find that picture of that red skull headphone stand. I want one and can't find it.

[@skylabsaudio]

Check ebay

[@aammdj]

Kevin, as a WiiM dealer, have you found that the remotes on the Pro Plus are essentially worthless and nonfunctioning? I know there are many others who have this same issue. Does WiiM know about this?

[@skylabsaudio]

We haven't had any issues with the remote. Being the remote is "old tech" seems odd there would be. Interesting.

[@billsmith5166]

Never buy an audio gift unless the recipient says they specifically want it! Give them cash if they're young or just buy them clothes. Heck, give them an envelope with cash in it that says "I love you, so go buy that damn thing-a-ma-jig that you've been whining about". NO ONE that is scratching for money to buy audio stuff wants what you're gonna buy them. TRUST ME! Cash or clothes. Don't even buy them audio related clothes! If you spend more than a token amount on an audio gift they will be reminded EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY LOOK AT IT that they could have had something that they really, really, really wanted, but instead they got an insanely expensive album or a piece of jewelry. Audio is like drugs, don't buy them a gold spoon and an fancy lighter when they really want dope. Dope I tells ya!
