TERA is spotlighting Eagle Rock small businesses to support our neighborhood’s recovery from the pandemic. For March, we are spotlighting Rewind Audio, Eagle Rock’s unique treasure trove of vintage hi-fidelity audio equipment.
Below is an interview with Rewind’s co-owners, Jennifer & Oscar Carpinteyro:
What is the story behind Rewind Audio?
Rewind Audio was established in 2010 in a small storefront in Echo Park that, funnily enough, used to be an alteration shop where Jennifer purchased her wedding dress back in 2001. We soon grew out of the small space and moved to our current location in Eagle Rock in 2019.
Rewind Audio has provided vintage audio to the entertainment industry, audio collectors, and people who enjoy the look and sound of vintage hi-fi locally and across the continental United States. If you’re looking for quality vintage audio equipment, Rewind should be your first stop.
Have you noticed any changes throughout the pandemic in how people are interested in audio equipment?
Clients who always wanted to invest in a nice pair of speakers or a high-end amplifier could justify treating themselves during the pandemic, especially since everyone is spending more time at home, and music is the ultimate mood elevator. Activity on our social media accounts has ramped up during the pandemic, which is always fun. Also, there are the clients who now have the time and energy to do some spring cleaning and sell that old turntable that’s been collecting dust in the garage.
What suggestions do you have for people who are considering getting a new audio system or who would like to bring new life to an old system that is collecting dust?
Choosing a vintage audio system can completely change how you enjoy your favorite music. Hearing high-fidelity quality sound for the first time is a life-changing experience! It’s about more than powerful speakers; it’s recreating your favorite music with the clarity and detail it deserves– and with style. Crafting the ultimate listening experience in your home requires many moving parts, and Rewind Audio is here to help!
