JE Labs SE2A3 mono integrated amp + variable EQ phono

Completed and delivered to a new home. ;) 

More to come...

Back log...

A friend has been waiting patiently for almost a year for these two mono integrated amps to be completed because I've been too busy teaching and performing. But November is Hi-Fi Show month and no concerts scheduled, just teaching. Wiring in progress... 

W198

Olympus E-P1 + Canon 28/3.5 LTM

Saw this car parked in front of our house ;o)

But seriously it is a privilege to be visited by such a fine car especially when driven by a violinist and avid classical music lover.

Visitor's OB II

12" Philips full range




"This OB has a fantastic sound. Thanks for the inspiration. For all who plan to build this open baffle, don't plan....just do it."

Homebrewer - Ding R.

Homebrewer - inspired by Sound Practices!

It has been a while since I saw my good friend Ding R. in Staten Island, NY. Hanging out at his listening room and evaluating his or my projects was part of my routine every time I had a gig in NYC while I was still based in the USA.

A few of his recent projects...

Siemens Bayern drivers in open baffles

Altec 805 horn + 291 + 515

Gray 103s tonearm on a TD124

Ding at the attic in '09...see you again soon!
