What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[AbbaDatDeHat]

A little device that might be worth a look - the EarStudio ES100. I bought one looking for a higher fidelity connection to my in-ear monitors when streaming music from Tidal through my iPhone. It's quite a wonderful little device. I bought a second to connect to my vintage B&O receiver for analog listening. I have Sonos products throughout the house for convenience but in the living room, it is a real listening treat and a very cost effective approach for streaming hifi music to my old B&W speakers.

@alanfgag,@Hagwood,@Rumad, is there a thread for hat guys who like all things stereophonic? Would like to play.

It is from the Wildfowl Mixture line and is composed of two different colors. The primary color is Eider Green (Eider is a large sea duck) with the secondary color being Woodcock Brown (Woodcock is part of the sandpiper family).

I have not been able to find any information about these “Wildfowl” hats. I can’t even determine if they were ever even sold in the United States. This one came from England. The only reference I have found is a sales ad in a newspaper from Sydney Australia dated March 31, 1954. I have the original box and the date on shipping label is 28 May 1957. Found out the V is for May.

Love the organic crease, Charlie. You always look so happy under your hats too.

Thanks, Brent!
It’s not actually Certified Organic, but I am pretty happy under this one.

I dunno dude, sounds like fun though. Is Alan a hi-fi nut too? Don’t think I knew that.

Don’t be too fearful. They don’t come with directions, but we all figure it out pretty quickly. Good luck.

Wonderful hat, Bill. Thank you! I envy you that one. Good thing it's not my size. [emoji4]

We all need hats like that, Reggie. Coat, hat and suit are a treat again.

Thanks, Stefan!

You guys are going to have to bring me into the modern era with technology and contacts. I need some repairs to my Carver gear.

Thanks, Randy. The direct sunlight makes the felt appear lighter. I’d call it bran or maybe fawn. I’m not sure who made it, but it wouldn’t surprise me to learn that it was part of the Beaver Brand family.

These folks rebuilt my M-400 "Cube" amp after the electric company decided to put a massive surge though my house a few years back. http://www.carveraudiorepair.com/
