Welcome to Altamont Studios!

In my sophomore year at college my roommate Brian had an incredible stereo — JBL 100 speakers with orange grills, Dynaco Stereo 400 amp, TEAC reel-to-reel tape deck, and a Thorens turntable. I had a decent record collection, and the combination made for great music listening the entire year. There were lots of rich kids from Long Island in our 20 story dorm at Syracuse, but nobody had better sounding music than our room.

In my last post, I shared some of my favorite places to see in the Big Sur area. Now let’s move up north and explore the Monterey and Carmel area. If you’re driving down from San Francisco or the Peninsula you can take either 280 to 17 to 1 or drive down Highway One the entire way. The latter is longer, but of course, you’ll enjoy ocean views the entire way.
