Vintage HiFi equipment stickers stating “Do not open; No user-serviceable parts inside”, may as well have read “Open me up; Cool stuff inside”.Recent trends in portable audio gear have reinvigorated Slater’s love of all things audio, as it allows enthusiasts of every budget to participate in the hobby.
