Q: Hi Neil and crew. What happened to Oxford Acoustics? Great looking gear that apparently sounded really good. A: This is all we have been able to find. Not much, butter better than nothing. Anyway …. A small turntable manufacturer based in Oxfordshire, UK and originally founded by Fraser Shaw and Jon Harker in the […]
