While I was relishing a pair of Altec 32C horns in the attic during the late aughts, unbeknownst to me, my stateside audio comrades, Dave V. and Joe Roberts, were praising the same horn's virtues in audio forums. When these veteran audio hobbyists consider the Western Electric 124 one of the finest-sounding amps they've ever heard, I listen.
See Dave's (aka Salectric) WE124 amp project and WECo 133A clone build at Hifi Haven.
Last weekend, I visited Devon Turnbull's HiFi Pursuit Listening Room Dream No. 3 at the Cooper Hewitt, which opened on December 12, 2025.
A few days before Christmas, I received greetings from two audio buddies, J-Rob and Gary B., with the above caption taken from Part 2 of Shared Dreams article by another friend, Devon T. of OJAS published by MJ Audio Technology in Substack. Perhaps this glitch is one of the reasons why we are being cautioned about AI.😉
Last summer, I attended a gathering of audio DIYers and my friend Mark S. brought his neatly refurbished Rek O Kut B12GH with a 12" Jelco tonearm sporting an unusual but very familiar-looking phono cartridge.
This is the final installment of my Japanese idler turntable adventure but as Sean Connery said, "Never say never again..." 😉
