Clint Eastwood's HiFi

Does anyone recognize the album covers??

Does anyone recognize the album covers??

The album behind his head in the photo that Shadorne linked to is The Greatest Garner, by Erroll Garner, originally released in 1956.

Ironically, Erroll Garner's most famous composition was Misty, composed in 1954, which played a central role in the 1971 film "Play Misty for Me," starring and directed by Clint Eastwood.

For those of you that don't know, this was a picture taken of Clint and Maggie celebrating the better sound quality of his system after Clint tweaked his speaker with a wine glass.

Re: Knight amp.
Darned if my father didn't have a Knight amp which I have come to suspect was a Scott variant. Can anyone shed any light on this? Maybe a Scott 222c?

Truman -- In my moderately extensive experience with vintage equipment of that period, I've never perceived any particular similarities between Knight amplifiers and those made by H. H. Scott.

Information on, and pictures of, the Scott stereo integrated amplifiers of that time, including the 222C, can be found here:

Allied Radio, btw, in addition to selling Knight products (their house brand), also sold equipment made by most of the leading manufacturers of that period, including (among makers of electronic components) Scott, Fisher, Marantz, Pilot, Bogen, Eico, Harman Kardon, McIntosh, Bell, Sherwood, Dynaco, etc.
