    I'm pretty sure this was taken in Berry Gordy's office at Hitsville USA. (He had two Empire 208s in there.)

    At FRANK SINATRA’S HOUSE in Palm Springs. This vintage VALENTINO stereo system was purchased & installed in 1947. And look where it’s from? Sunset Plaza on Sunset Strip. It featured state of the art recording equipment. Story goes Frank could record vinyl and transmit it back to Hollywood

    Using a piano/organ bench for LPs. I never even thought about that. PERFECT!! LPs on top, LPs on the bottom.

    AND... I have a M- Yamaha piano bench in my closet! Well, it's living room bound now for LPs!! So cool. Thanks for the idea Eddie!!

    It's my 'new' Eddie LP rack!! :agree:

    I see B&W speakers, McIntosh, and possibly a Linn turntable.

    In Saint-Tropez, during his family vacation, Herbert von Karajan listens to a test of his next records, "Tchaikovsky's symphonies", which is scheduled for release three months later. 1967

    Louie's tube amps, speakers, tape decks and turntable would not look out of place in a modern system. The guy had great taste in Hi-fi!

    I see a poster of the Ruts. I think its Henry's favourite punk album. He even bought the original painting of the album cover. I wonder if anyone in this thread or even this forum know this wonderful band

    Absolutely fabulous that he shared with you Jeff. I dont have much of his music but from what I have seen on Youtube, I gather that he is a really great guy!

    I stayed at that house a few years ago with my girlfriend and friends.

    Unfortunately none of that cool audio gear is working. It sure was fun to look at, though.

    Instead, they have a bunch of real crappy multi room stuff in a closet.

    The piano shaped pool is not too shabby.

    what a great thread.

    what's interesting to me is what the guys with large music collections listen to ... guys like Zach Cowie, etc.

    that louis armstrong pic is just amazing.
