On the floor at the shop:
Parasound A21+ and JC 2 BP paired with KEF Reference speakers, known for their clarity, imaging, and tonal balance.

The A21+ is a Class A/AB stereo power amplifier delivering 300 watts per channel into 8 ohms, bringing high current and control that gives the KEF References room to breathe. Clean transients, a stable soundstage, and bass that feels grounded and articulate. The JC 2 BP remains neutral and transparent, preserving detail while letting the music unfold naturally.

Stop by and listen for yourself.🎵

Huge thank you to everyone who came out yesterday for our JBL listening event showcasing the Summit Ama and L100 speakers. They brought so much life to the room and put on an unforgettable show. 🔊✨
Thank you to John from .audio and Corey from Harman for all their support.
If you missed it, swing by Echo Audio anytime, we’re always happy to spin your favorite tracks. 🎶

Gorgeous pairing here. ✨ A DS Audio optical cartridge riding on a brand-new Technics SL-1200GR2 just fired up in the shop. Optical tech means zero magnetic drag, effortless groove tracing, and an eerily lifelike sound that feels like the lights just came on in your favorite record.

🚨On the floor at the shop:🚨 VAC’s Renaissance 70/70 power amplifier paired with the Statement Line preamp. A real showstopper.

Eight 300B tubes deliver 70 watts per channel in pure Class A triode, backed by true dual-mono power supplies for black-as-night backgrounds and dynamic swings that hit like a live downbeat. The Statement Line preamp layers in VAC’s most refined circuitry. Wide-bandwidth, fully balanced, with a noise floor so low it disappears, letting the 70/70’s holographic midrange and surprising low-end authority bloom in full.

Pop by this weekend and hear it for yourself.

The VAC Renaissance 70/70 is a statement piece from the golden era of Kevin Hayes’ design genius. Introduced in the late ‘90s, this dual-mono beast runs eight 300B output tubes in pure Class A triode mode, pumping out 70 watts per channel with a liquidity and authority that put VAC on the global map. Each channel has its own power supply and transformer.

The Renaissance 70/70 is the amp that proved modern tube gear could have the soul of vintage iron and the muscle to run demanding modern day speakers.

This one here is getting the full ✨Echo spa treatment✨: bench tested, cleaned, polished, and pampered.

Soon it’ll be up for grabs. 🤩

Back in 1973, Nakamichi flipped the script on what a cassette deck could be. The 700 Tri-Tracer was a real show stopper. With three heads, three motors, and dual capstans, it gave you precision tape handling, real-time monitoring, and sound quality that made people stop comparing cassettes to dictation machines and start comparing them to reel-to-reel.

This beast was overbuilt in every way: A tank-like transport, aircraft toggle switches, glowing VU meters. The 700 just drips old school cool. 😎

The team just spent an entire day restoring it to its original glory…cleaned, calibrated, and ready to rock. Should be hitting the floor in a few days. If you’re in Portland, swing by the shop and see it for yourself. This wont last long!

Dialing in pure magic. ✨The .audio crew is in the house, fine-tuning Wilson Audio SabrinaX speakers for a new listening experience at the shop. We’ll be adding several new rooms in the next few months where every note, every detail, and every piece of gear gets the white-glove treatment.

PDX music lovers: the doors are open. Pop by and hear your favorite tracks like never before.

The team at Echo is taking a short summer break to rest, recharge, and fine-tune what’s next.
