Today we’re gonna touch on just one of the hundreds, if not thousands of ways that you can improve the quality of your sound system without upgrading your equipment. Depending on the type of gear you have, the layout of your system, and (perhaps most importantly) your patience, there are quite a few affordable ways to calibrate or organize your setup that may end up boosting the sound quality. 

Dazed and confused by power amplifier choices? We’re here to help. 

If you’re a casual record player listener, you may not know that where you place your turntable can affect the quality of sound it can produce, as well as the lifespan of the needle, tonearm, and inner mechanisms, and last but certainly not least, your records. 

Although we typically keep our focus on home theatre and audio equipment, today we’re gonna be talking about one of our more niche interests — racing simulators.

Today we have some news for our audiophile audience — more specifically, Tidal users with Samsung TVs.

When building a home theatre system, the projector is the meat (and the speakers are the potatoes) in terms of what is determining the quality of your viewing experience. And with projectors, their many foreign-sounding features and finicky nature of projection can make it exceedingly difficult to know which model is best for your system. That’s why we took a moment to talk about the most versatile and accessible models from our selection at Selby Acoustics.

In the wake of Record Store Day 2024 on Saturday, April 20th, vinyl fans are drowning in exclusive releases. Outside of events, pop-ups, and discounts, RSD record releases are one of the biggest and most anticipated parts of the holiday. In fact, Record Store Day releases have become so popular that some critics have complained that the practice disrupts the vinyl chain of production. This isn’t too surprising, as the list of exclusive releases this year features a whopping 387 titles.

With Record Store Day 2024 right around the corner, the topic of vinyl storage and care couldn’t be more important. Vinyl isn’t just about playing vinyl; it’s also about collecting and preserving pieces of history. Vinyl collecting is a hobby that requires a bit of love and care — some people have been preserving their records for decades, and keeping a record in good condition for that long takes a bit of know-how. If you’re looking to buy some records on Record Store Day this year, make sure you know how to properly store and care for them, so you can enjoy them for years to come.

As part of this year’s Record Store Day festivities, a number of our frontline turntables are up to 20% off — including the limited edition PrecisionDeck, a spectacular collaboration with Mobile Fidelity and Fender. This piece is a true tribute to some of the most iconic names in the music industry, like Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen, and Jeff Beck, while still being a high-performance turntable in every aspect. Only 1,000 units were manufactured and each model is individually numbered and badged, making the PrecisionDeck a collector’s item in addition to a functional record player.

One of our favorite holidays here at Selby is right around the corner… Record Store Day 2024! We’ll take any opportunity we can get to show our appreciation for turntables and the vinyl industry, and there’s no better time than Record Story Day (RSD). As we get ready for the 17th annual RSD coming up on April 20th, let’s take a moment to talk about how the holiday got started in the first place and the impact that it’s had on the industry since its conception.
