Craig Sawyers Posted March 28 Report Posted March 28 The Audio Research 610T, which is what they are, 800W each idling power. So 1.6kW of heat going into the room. Made from 2005 to ? Now replaced by the not dissimilar 750SEL monoblocks. A bit like Rolls Royce - if you need to know the price, you can't afford one. But if you need to know, a hair under $100k a pair 2 Quote
Craig Sawyers Posted April 19 Report Posted April 19 Um - where's the speakers? Not the bijou bookshelf ones, surely. Quote
Knuckledragger Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Some trumpet player or other with his home hi-fi (I'm not sure it was stereo) in the late 1960s. Photo most likely taken by Jack Bradley. I'd love to know the identity of the trombone player. Google has, and I want to be clear about this, utterly fucking useless in this regard. Quote
mikeymad Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 Tyree Glenn? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyree_Glenn Quote
morphsci Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 (edited) Well the first two color images had to be taken after 1970 as the album pictured in those two, Swingin’ the Louis Armstrong SongBook by Swing Society with Nannie Porres, was recorded in 1970. Anyway, John Thomas also played trombone with the Louis Armstrong band after replacing Kid Ory and was playing on tour with Armstrong in the 60s. Edited May 2 by morphsci Quote
Knuckledragger Posted May 2 Report Posted May 2 A commenter on Imgur thought the trombonist was Tyree Glenn as well. Also the system was stereo and was set up to record. It was installed at the request of Lucille Wilson while Satch was in the hospital. https://virtualexhibits.louisarmstronghouse.org/2020/07/31/louis-armstrongs-1969-1971-tapes-reels-1-5/ 1 Quote

skullguise Posted 11 hours ago Report Posted 11 hours ago (edited) Couple "Holy Shitballs" pics. Gryphon Statement amp, the smaller sibling Gryphon Diablo integrated amp was how I got one of my cats' names (Diablo was his middle name). And a throw in: "are those speaker cables or are you REALLY happy to see me?" Edited 11 hours ago by skullguise 2 Quote
