TATS & TUNES - B-Side HiFi Listening Room Open House

TATS & TUNES: INK & ANALOG February 15th • 10AM-4PM

Skin and vinyl. Both analog. Both permanent. Both beautiful when done right.

Tattoo artist Jill Whit takes over B-Side for a day of ink, music, and communion. Bring your body. Bring your records. Let the McIntosh warm up while the needle does its work.

This is open house - no rigid sessions, no timed slots. Just art being made in real time while your favorite albums spin through our TAD speakers. The sanctuary becomes a studio. The ritual expands.

BYOV: Bring Your Own Vinyl

Raid your collection. Bring that record you've been dying to hear on a proper system. Share your sonic obsession with the room. We'll spin it, and you'll hear it the way it was meant to be heard - through tubes, through time, through reverence.

The Details:

• $75 Valentine's flash tattoos by Jill Whit - hearts & love rendered in ink
• Walk-ins welcome
• Not getting inked? Come anyway. Hang for the music, the atmosphere, the vibe of watching art happen
• BYOV strongly encouraged - bring records from your personal collection and experience them through our McIntosh/TAD system
• Open house format - no rigid schedule, just flow and community all day long
• Free admission - pay only for your tattoo

A little bit about our carefully crafted stereosystem...

• At the heart of our setup is a vintage Thorens TD160 MKII turntable, renowned for its precision and clarity. This Swiss-made classic brings out the nuances in every groove, faithfully reproducing the artist's intent.
• Powering our system is the legendary McIntosh MC275 vacuum tube amplifier. This audiophile favorite delivers rich, dynamic sound with a touch of tube warmth that perfectly complements vinyl playback.
• For speakers, we alternate between two exceptional pairs. Our vintage Pioneer Exclusive (TAD) speakers from the 1970s offer a glimpse into the golden age of hi-fi, with their detailed and expansive soundstage. Complementing these are the modern Zu Soul 6 speakers, built right here in Utah and known for their efficiency and lifelike presentation, bringing a contemporary edge to our listening experience.

Additional Information about your listening session:

• This is a no-shoe event. All shoes must be removed before entering the listening room.
• We do not allow any drink or food into the listening room. Please do not bring any food, drink or snack with you into the listening room.
