二战时期 年轻英俊的海军上尉 小艾伦先生 转至 网络相片
两年前,一朋友告诉我说他的同事的叔叔有好多音响器材的东西被他和一些本地的烧友买了.都是好东西.我一听就说还想去看看,就去买了一些黑胶盘回来.也没有在意就放进了库房.两年了今天拆箱整理一看,有些附带的资料,,,,哗,都是一些和声音学有关的文献资料.马上上网查:
休-塞拉斯-小艾伦先生,美国RCA成员,声频学会执行副总裁,声音学专家,曾任职美国先锋公司,以及著名的西海岸音响制造商的副总裁,曾为好莱坞的广播,电视,电影的一些声音技术工作.我的天!他的一些器材!!!怪不的得我那华人朋友当时说话那眉飞色舞的样子,,,,,
现在回想起来,小艾伦先生去世后,他的侄子把他的一些收藏品(对于他来说不是什么收藏品,而是他工作用过的东西)卖给我的几个华人烧友,尤其是一些音响器材被一抢而光,这样的人的器材都是什么等级的?可想而知!懊恼啊,千载难逢的机会啊,我怎么就没有这么好的命啊!!!等我再去的时候,只把他们剩下的好多白封面的测试盘和为数不多的一堆碟片买了,但是就有那张"红杉仔"!当然还有一些非常稀有的东西像是2轨的开盘带,他那精明的侄子当时还狠狠的砍了我一笔.哈哈,现在想起来应该砍!如果我有这样的叔叔,东西我还不卖呢!

太烂了,上不了图! 没有真相!!! 去相册看吧:
