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.

Still looking for the toothed belt for the mechanism. Can't seem to find it. I ordered the one for the Pioneer equivalent but its just a smooth belt. Any help would be appreciated. Otherwise the machine works perfectly.

Those Apogee Stages have a reality-aspect that is so uncanny I never heard it in any other speaker. (Give them a lot of power though to avoid clipping to protect the ribbons.) I had them for a while and there is nothing that has their particular truthful sound. Also uncanny is the natural vocal reproduction that is startling.

These are also very nice Stages with wooden trim - the Mini Grand system with subs! Anyway, I've had many different hi-end speakers, B*W 800 series, Avalons, SF's and now having Apogee Diva and Duetta Sigs. The Diva has the most incredible bass extension it's incredibly detailed, try a well recorded kick drum on big Apogees! Biggest weakness is placement and a very narrow sweetspot which is a shame.
Damn. Just went on the website, and the MC7106 is already sold.

Great, could you talk about impedance matching when selecting gear.

Great suggestion!
I personally own a mint 747 DBX with the analog meters, Akai went with the LED meters because of the cost to build was cheaper. So the DBX with analog is the better of the two.

Good point, I always assumed there were other improvements on the led version but it was pure speculation. Thanks for the feedback Robert.
Some fantastic equipment. I would be like a child in a candy store and probably bankrupt after visiting 🤣

I think alike!! But on the other hand, thinking about what i spent on current gear, with much poorer implementation quality...sometimes worthwhile to go with vintage!!

I owned a pair of Krell Resolution 1 back in the day. Amazingly built speakers. Very expensive back then. LAT-1000 are rare and are $$$$. They resemble Sonus Faber because I do believe Dan D’Agostino worked for Sonus before starting Krell Industries.

Hola Fernando Me encanta ver tus videos, me recuerdas a un amigo de la infancia que (odiaba 😆) verás, mi amigo era ebanista y fabricaba muebles únicos para poner estéreos de auto en casa como consolas de los 60’s 70’s, estudiaba para ser radiotécnico siempre tenia equipo nuevo y mejor del que yo podía adquirir, me inspiraba a ser mejor. Tu taller está muy bien equipado y organizado y tus videos son impecables. Tengo una pregunta en question de una reparación de un amplificador McIntosh MA6900, tiene en vidrio roto. Esto tiene arreglo? Saludos desde Arizona.
