Kutztown Radio Show Spring 2023
Tish and I were delighted to have our dear friend Tony, organizer of the annual November Hi-Fi Show event in Manila, as our house guest this past week. Even if he presents the latest in high end audio, his hifi set up is quite eclectic and chosen by ear. It consists of bespoke SE-DHT amps, horn speakers using classic Altec drivers, a grease bearing Garrard 301 + contemporary components for digital streaming and headphone listening. He makes it a point to also feature local DIYers in his annual hifi event by subsidizing their demo rooms.
Thus, the Kutztown Radio Show is very much his kind of scene too!

The early bird...
Nice day to be out of the pavilions.
I can empathize with the person behind these reimagined Dynaco preamps since I used to be a Dynakit hacker in the 80s and 90s.π
Classic cameras are regular guests at radio shows and hamfests. However, this is a rare and unusual 35mm rangefinder camera outfit from the 40s - the Kodak Ektra! As the link explains, it was a very sophisticated design for its time but the shutter was very unreliable. Its Contax and Leica contemporaries were much better!
