if deemed trustworthy enough, i wouldnt mind volunteering the time to split up a big box of parts into individual kits (assuming none of that parts matching stuff is required). my schedule prohibits any of sort extracurricular activity on days besides friday, saturday and sunday but i figured its better than nothing. so if a big shipment of parts were to land on my desk, i could split it up to kits but obviously it might take me a lot longer than someone who had more time to devote to it. i dont have anything to add to the project intellectually, perhaps time could count for something. i dont know if this is far too tedious a task or far too difficult but who doesn't like a good dragon to slay every now and then.

in for a set of boards necessary for the amp as well. if anything in the way of a kit of parts is assembled, i will provide 10 soj and 3 goats to the assembler/provider of said kit. many thanks will be added and a few beers perhaps (limited to 10 beers though...i know how some of you guys drink )

al, amarra stuff > burmester? i dont know anything about burmester other than their gear looks super cool.

burmester?

in sofla, i would imagine nothing

.

excited

i dont get it what am i missing?

nice mike. how you like it for a dac?

just submitted my dissertation for final approval to the advisory committee. hopefully none of the math is wrong >< nice view there manuel.

it is. but things havent picked up yet. saturdays are my only day off so i am going to try to spend 1-2 hours every saturday until i get the speakers done as the woodshop is a 5 minute walk from my office. its a simple enough build so shouldnt take more than 6 or 7 sessions.

i dont know if i am just a pansy but when i touch any part of the amp (the bell included) after its been on for ~1 hour (with music playing) i cant keep my fingers touching the metal for more than 3-4 seconds. anything potentially screwed up?

going to start building a pair of basszillas for a buddy of mine this weekend. was doing some background reading on it and thats where the dx4 popped in my head. the entire drive home from school i was getting pissed off for not being able to recall why i even thought of that driver in the first place. now that i know, i can go to sleep in peace

i meant the actual construction of the amp - soldering, wiring etc. what could i be doing better or different for that matter?

keep reading. paper states the dx55 being used in multiple places.

sure putting feastrex drivers in a box (where you can only see the front) is a sin by all measures.

any comments on how to improve the build would be much appreciated. [ATTACH=CONFIG]3599[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]3600[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]3601[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]3602[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]3603[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]3604[/ATTACH]

Actually some lowther driver. dx4 iirc but i might be wrong on the model number. certain it was a lowther.

amazing work sir. truly beautiful.

steve, i actually found 2 mullard 12au7s with the square getter and marked as k61 b6h (supposedly the best ones) but one has some crazy hum and no sound in the left channel and the other has very marked channel imbalance in volume. nebby and i were getting super excited over it last night in chat. i was going to wait for the tube tester on monday but i just plugged them in to see how they were and was disappointed. the raytheon 12au7 seems to be ok.

im planning on listening to it with the sprague caps for this next week and then putting the stock ones back in to see what changes. however, the bass was virtually non existent with the original caps. at least to me. rather i was actually disappointed. put in the sprague caps - bass got nicer. changed the sylvania 6080wc to a rca 6080wc - bass got waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay nicer. but along the way, the overall tonality got a little bloomy. changed the supplied 12au7 (dont even know what kind it is) to a raytheon 12au7 and midrange improved by a few notches. much more detailed. more liquidy. reminds me of my old extreme.

i wish i knew what all that meant.

i wish i had your kind of patience.

thanks for the tip nate. should we be looking in the amp area or the tweaks forum?
