Yea, I think I found my way up there last year. My Google map took me to all the most scenic parts of DC before I got there. Now where is that heavy vest that I got from Iraq?

I wonder if there is any way to fold those Black Gates into the existing cabinet or get a slightly larger one that will hold everything? And how much effort that would be?

you could probably hire someone to recase it, or harvest the blackgates, put something else inside it, and sell the blackgates and recoup a lot of the cost of the amp

about 80% of the effort that went into building the entire amp in the first place.

Below is a link to some more pics of another DX (* Justin, if you want me to remove the link, let me know and I'll do that ASAP).

Obviously not a simple operation at all.

Huh. That KGSS DX Salty posted is different than I remember, it has an extra Stax jack.

There are few DX Editions out there, each with some differences. The one I posted (the pic, not the link) is what I used to own. The one in the link has HE60 jack in addition to HE90 and Stax jacks.

EDIT - Holy shit, who was listening to the KGSS you posted? The volume knobs are at 3 o'clock are at 3 o'clock.

Just how many KGSS amplifiers were made? I know there would be many variants.

Like other have said it would be a lot of trouble for a non issue IMO. One of the first amps was built in a much taller enclosure with the BG's standing vertically inside so the amp could be modified like that but it's a lot of trouble. I'm going to sell my BH soon so it will be fun to see how much the BG's will bump up the price
