We have four photos of Mr. Nicholson at home enjoying a cigarette and listening to some music on his home Hi-Fi system. The photos are likely from the early 1970s.
Jack Nicholson’s Home Hi-Fi System
His system appears to be a KLH Model 24 all-in-one stereo system, which combined a Garrard record changer with an amplifier and tuner in a wooden tabletop cabinet. The speakers are most likely KLH Model 24 speakers, which were simple 2 way bookshelf speakers.
Jack is pictured wearing a pair David Clark Model H10 headphones. David Clark’s primary business was making headsets for the aircraft industry, such as the H10-56 which were equipped with a boom microphone for the pilot. Without the microphone, they were often used for listening to music.
