here are random and not so random pix of my audio travels… these objects inspire me to make audio gear. i can’t generally afford to own or collect this kind of stuff, although i have worked with most of it. and when i have owned it, it wasn’t long before i sold it to pay rent or eat. but this is all stuff that i admire. the weirdest, cleverest, or best made of the best!
WE-59 the rarest of the rare? i love those mercury rectifiers!
WE-43, 1920’s brute force.
and a close up…
WE-42 elegant frankenstein…
WE-15A this one was originally at an ice skating rink… where it was in operation for nearly 60 years. it still sounds amazing!
WE-13A with WE-597 in background. sorry for the grainy pic… it was dark. but this thing is so pretty.
