Party like it's 1995



If you were smart enough, or lucky enough, you'd have known about the Hi-Mu amp in 1995 and could have asked for a catalog. Here's two pages from the catalog Hi-Mu's mastermind, Barry Barish, would have sent you. If you had a little coin in your pocket back in 1995 you could have purchased a custom-built, hand wired, point-to-point, 18 watt 'boutique' amplifier in real tweed with a 12 Greenback for less than a grand!



Check out the prices!
The same quality of amp today would set you back twice the price at least.
I'll be posting specs and more pictures from the catalog for those interested.
By the by, a tip of the hat to Steve at Do It Yourself Amps, who also is a Hi-Mu fan, and from whom I 'borrowed' the original pdf that these images come from.
