Historical installation

The 2021 NeueHouse Hollywood residency used EAR 509 valve monoblocks and a 912 line/phono stage. This equipment belongs to that residency’s system.

2021 NeueHouse residency electronics: 509 mono amplifiers; 912 linestage/phono

Inside the system

The original Arts District bar used Klipschorn AK6 mains and modified Heresy speakers at the bar. Audio Note Jinro Shochu and M5 electronics served the main installation, with a McIntosh 6100 also in the system. Two Garrard 301s carried 12-inch Schick arms in Vinylista plinths, alongside a Condesa rotary mixer. The 2021 NeueHouse residency used a different combination: Graham LS5/8 monitors with EAR 509 monoblocks and a 912 linestage/phono stage. These are separate historical installations, each with its own speaker and amplifier pairing.
