Real nice looking amp you got there, Tom! I really like the bars next to the tubes.

I like the way the LED lights up the tubes.

Yeah, Black Gates take forever to burn in.

And sometimes, they do funny things during the burn-in, if I remember correctly from my experience.

I was thinking more in the line of Journey, but that works, too.

Speaking of Def Leppard, what's got nine arms and sucks?

I know, I know, it's tasteless.

Did you put the LED in the CK2III in the volume knob? If you did, that's awesome!

Thanks for the kind words, gents!
I indeed put a 3mm indication LED in the volume knop of the CK2III.
It's required precision drilling but with a drill-press, it's do-able.

Welcome Vortex! I think I remember seeing those good-looking amps in the gallery over on Head-Fi. :P

Nice work Vortex... love those ATI cases! Is that rounded top knob on the one (Millet Maxx?) an ATI also?

Thanks gents.

Pars, I guess you are talking about the small on/off knop on the β22 amplifier (?).
It comes from Conrad Netherlands, type: H8350RP.

Yuujin, No, I didn?t made any extra ventilation holes on top of the ATI-737U. This will destroy the beauty of the enclosure. But on the bottom, I have drilled some ventilation holes to create bottom => top air-flows (cool air comes in via the bottom and goes out via the top of the enclosure).

The temperatute on the output MOSFETs varies between 60-70 degrees Celsius, depending on room temperature. A bit warm (?)? yes, but MOSFETs perform better when they are warm.
