Smeggy

Not unless they 'bling it up a notch'

Now, now gentlemen.... continue

I'm surprised you find this surprising.

x2 i need to get all my crap working so I can do proper ranking checks again.

How are you liking the grundig, interesting looks.

Bummer dude, that sucks big time. If there's anything I can do to make it worse, lemme know. I have the soldering iron at the ready..

The vent holes are all open, the marble is sitting 1/2" above the vents and the sides are fully perforated end-to-end top and bottom. It's going to have a set of large vent holes in the top and bottom to ensure plenty of air. I've been monitoring the heat and it seems fairly happy though I am going to make certain there is enough ventilation. The original case has no vents in the base which I'm going to fix.

yes, I need to do a bunch of other stuff to it in and out so it's far from finished.

It sounds sweet and powerful, smacking bass and nice smooth highs, works extremely well with the orthos. Haven't tried the K1000 as they're out on loan for a while. Best amp I've heard to date. I haven't heard many upper end amps so I have limited experience, however, I'm extremely happy with it.

yeah, very hard to drive. Anyway, my Beta 22 in its generic steel case with canarywood and marble tile bling. Only bought the wood this morning and did it between shopping, watching a film she rented and all the other crap wifey has me doing It was a busy day using just the table saw and a sander/elbow grease. I coat of sanding sealer and two coats of satin laquer. Still need to do the sides and clean the rest up but it's working out ok so far. Never tried canarywood before, pretty easy to work with but has a deep grain to it so shiny finishes look sucky unless you have time to fill all the grain.

That's MANdex if you please Yeah, it's pretty great. Love the sound, though it's still straining at the gills to run the Woofdales! I think they need a gain of 11.

Saw their site a while back but closed it once I saw their prices. I think you need to be a *really* dedicated audiophile to smack that much down.

quit bitching and buy both, *and* the new Sony.. Interesting music too, thanks

Nice first post Nick, and welcome. Free music too Stretch, is in his profile

I am pretty hot and have a cute ass, what's not to think about?

She lives! Thanks to everyone for the help and support in this train wreck of a n00bs DIY disaster where I managed to turn a simple task into epic fail! Recovery feels good Now, how the hell do I wire it to run speakers too? Do I feed it off the headphone socket so they cut off when the phones are plugged in?

Happy birthday!!

add ^^ smiley to bank

*Ouch* Harsh!

You write all this and don't add sexy pics for reference? Pics or you made the whole thing up!!

Klingon Opera?

Added speed incentive if hurled at Markl.

Can't wait to get a listen to them. I have the K1k, staxes, orthos etc but I would like to give these a run through my gear.

they're big and black if that makes you feel better

I bought a box of knobs!
