Dear people, I am an ANALOGUE record/audio SHOP since 2015. I'm selling analogue MUSIC stuff in a geo/physical way (non virtual, no webshop). I am glad you found my treasure shop and likers, but please MIND and CARE: the best appreciative way is passing by once in a while and PURCHASE a LP or CD (or audio device)! Only then is able to continue. Lots of musical discoveries to grab. Suggestions and knowledge present. Grateful! Thanks in advance.

For sale SOLD! one of the integrated stereo (brand) amps I really dig! The 1st piece I bought 25 years ago (and 6 more followed afterwards). Then it was named the AMC 3050a. The current version is XIA or XIA 50. Designed by the Englishman (who designed the famous NAD 3020 in the 80s) Peter Bath in London (city close to Los Angeles/USA) and built in Taiwan. The strengths are: precision, naturalness (no exaggaration in bass), flow, calmness and a high quality, built-in (switchable!) MM/MC phono stage. Recommended for vinyl lovers and for long listening sessions without fatigue. Original new price was around 900-1000 euro. Now I have a 2nd hand piece for sale for 250 euro (including 3 months warranty). Matching speakers available. Silver finish, including original remote control. Pass by or PM.

Bartovsky also contributes to events outside the shop! This month we participated a Sunday's concert at 'Het Theekoepeltje' in Wageningen with an "ART Theme" recordsleeve (many rare, limited or unique releases) exhibition. Three red line themes were 'cowboyhat', 'lips' and 'space rocket' because the country rockabilly musicians looked like that.
