Redstone Electronics is a custom electronics design, construction and modification service focused on high end audio. We design & build new equipment and modify older high end equipment for both reliability reasons (electrolytic caps, for example, typically last 20-30 years before failing) and for improved sonics (replacing older parts with higher performing, closer tolerance new parts).
This webpage documents some of my work and contains reference materials for those technically inclined.

This mini-monitor speaker was an evolution of the satellite of the Model H, and competed with the Rogers LS3/5a and JR 149 among others. With the Model T subwoofer (below), it formed the Model H/2 system. Lots of reference material here.
