Have you heard of Sherwood brand (audio equipment)?
I’m looking аt a turntable PM-9805, fаntаѕtіс price bυt very modest reviews οf іt οn thе internet. Dοеѕ anyone know hοw Sherwood rates аmοng tech maniacs?
Yes. An ancient brand but always had a excellent name. In their day it was akin to a brand like Marantz.
sandfly is pretty accurate.
Sherwood is still around but could be considered by many as “vintage” audio.
I had a Sherwood S-7200 Receiver back in the 80′s and while rated at only 32W/ch, it’s sound was rich and clean.
The Description of Sherwood
Sherwood Electronic Labs was founded in Chicago in 1953 to manufacture an amplifier designed by legendary audio engineer Ed Miller. Determined to design high performance audio gear and to manufacture it themselves, Miller and his partner John Snow made a company that has long set the standard for audio excellence and well-organized manufacturing.
