I was a real sceptik of analog music enthusiasm.

My father wanted ONE thing for himself when he was discharged from the Army Air Corps in 1945... a really nice console radio with a record player. He bought a Farnswoth radio with a 78 rpm changer.

After inheriting the radio decades ago, I tested all of the tubes and replaced three of the nine. The old record changer connected to the amplifier using a standard RCA monaural plug.

I have recently begun playing my digital music through this 74 year old amplifier, and am amazed at the rich sound coming through the original 10 inch speaker. Even music coming from my flat screen TV is warm and beautiful.

I have spent thousands of dollars on stereo stacks and speakers through the years. I have not enjoyed any of them more than this old Farnsworth!
