RE: LOL!

I met Howard through the Atlanta Audio Society back in the mid 80s, of which he was president for many years. Now that you mention it, I do recall he had a special air filtration system, but I also remember all of the audio gear and knicknacks in his room :-)

Howard was quite a character. The HQD must have been long gone by then, because he was using Watkins WE-1A speakers at the time and alternated between an Eagle 7A (or was it two?) amp and a pair of ARC M300s or some such, along with his SP-11 preamp and I think a VPI TNT with an ET arm.

Actually Howard wasn't a toilet magnate, he invented the flush valve, on which you still see his name (Royal) to this day on urinals and toilets (water closets), Sloan being one of the most popular manufacturers of them. He made his claim to fame and lots of money with the "royal"ties. Royal Flush, get it?

What a nice man he was.

Small world, isn't it?
