In this episode Mike and David warp back to 1978, and go to their local Tandy shop to experience a microscopical marvel! Realistic's Minimus 7 sold in large quantities for decades, yet was almost completely ignored by the hi-fi press. The guys reckon it is surprisingly good at the job it was designed for.
David also digs out his coveted pair of Amstrad LS-101, the kissing cousin of the Realistic speaker - likely made by the same Japanese OEM manufacturer. Mike and David think this is the best Amstrad hi-fi product ever sold, although that's not exactly saying much!
Each episode of Hi-Fi Riff features the guys' unedited, unexpurgated views about all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for thirty years. Now Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way.
So relax and enjoy some one-take hi-fi riffing - and please leave your comments below. And don’t forget to hit the Subscribe button, this one goes up to eleven!
