Egg crates on the walls are the symbol of DIY audio revolution.

That shirt is tight. I would probably cut the sleeves off and rock it Larry the Cable Guy style, but still.

Look at that guitar. It’s a DIY clone of the hippie sandwich Alembics and BecVars except it’s not actually a sandwich. Stuff like that there used to be the height of fashion, for about two weeks in 1977….or wait, 1974…or sometime between ’73 and ’79.

Like everyone else I had Craig Anderton’s books….but I soon realized he wasn’t much of an electronics designer, and worse, he specifically picked circuits and techniques that would not take much technicianship to get to work, or would offer much opportunity to learn from. Plus which, much of his stuff sounded not so much really bad as just mediocre.

In reply to Hans Dorenstouter. Yes, the person in the photo "record it at home" is indeed electronics genius Craig Anderton.
