Voltron Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 He looked a lot younger than that back in April, but who knows? Happy birthday Brian!
philodox Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Happy Birthday, quite the milestone.
bhjazz Posted December 31, 2007 Report Posted December 31, 2007 Thank you, my friends. And special thanks to boo for noticing! Yes, at my age, I've listened to the Original Sennheiser HD0001, the Grado SR-1, and the AKG Model 1. Many of these early models were quite costly at $1 when first introduced, and the headphone amps for them were incredibly large. RCA's first headphone amp was quite an affair with 743 tubes. We'd really warm up the old castle with that one, and in fact, my grandfather would leave the fireplace and boiler off when music night was upon us. We soon fashioned a 50 foot headphone cable so that we could leave the amplifier in the next room and listen without getting burned from the intense heat. To all: Have an unsafe and wild New Year's Eve, and a new year filled with electronics, headphones, DIY projects and great music.
socrates63 Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Wow, Brian. You're pretty peppy for 106! We need to work on a mini-meet because Big Poppa got a loaner Rudistor amp.
