About

Skylabs is a brick and mortar store located in West Des Moines, Iowa. We specialize in HI-FI stereos and vinyl records. For those of you too far away to travel to the store- check out skylabsaudio.com Sorry, we do not sell our vintage stereo equipment on-line. Honestly, we would have no reason for a physical store if we did. Also, we do not work on gear not purchased from us. Again, the truth of it is, we do not have the staff to handle anything other than what we sell. Hope you understand, and hope you stop in if you are ever in the West Des Moines area! Thank you for watching and your interest in Skylabs! Kevin Moll

Video Description

In this video, Kevin goes over his top 5 all-time vintage stereo grails. These are pieces that top the most wanted list if money were no object. Sansui, JBL, Garrard, and Infinity make the list. Find out why they made the list and why one piece that didn't. Can you guess what piece that is? Here is a hint: it's a cassette deck. Let us know what your top 5 grails are in the comments!
