Jerry Garcia’s McIntosh amp

Did Jerry have a fancy Mac system at home for listening? You would think he would, but then heroin isn't a cheap habit.

In the early days they used 4 x MC240 in mono to run the PA. All 4 amps ( at 48# each ) bolted to a sheet of plywood 

wall of sound is much much more than big amps and speakers, it was based on the idea of line arrays for each player and a special two Mike system ( with feedback cancelling phase control ) engineered by Alembic.

I happen to agree on the early 70’s and I love Terrepin. I have a 1961 M240, which I treasure.

happy listening all !

There is a very informative wall of sound article at Vice.com

@tomic601 Thanks for the info and the tip on Vice.com

@roxy4 Neither is a cocaine habit.  I just blew thru a lot of $$ since the start of this pandemic that could have bought me some really nice audio gear... a whole McIntosh system for sure.  But I finally decided to stop and enter my 7th rehab attempt.  I just got home yesterday and I feel so good... like a new man!  They finally got the meds I need for my anxiety and depression (and cravings) really dialed in and that has made all the difference.
