Though the next panels you'll see on a project of mine will be wood Material is headed down to Dr. Wood himself, from a purveyor of fine instrument woods in the northwest. Just have to keep him from "spilling" that pink dye all over the material.... Report

November 11, 200817 yr comment_174829 I was expecting that reply, as a matter of fact, almost wishing it hehe. Not that I really need another SS headphone amp, but you know, curiosity for sound and such nice looks I call dibs for that one were you selling it, I suppose it wouldn't cause much hassle making it to work at 230V Report
November 11, 200817 yr comment_174833 tyrion will ultimately sell that beauty because he just cannot help himself. Call dibs with him. Report
November 11, 200817 yr comment_174835 That is one freakin' sexy amp. The volume and source knobs are Report
November 11, 200817 yr comment_174837 tyrion will ultimately sell that beauty because he just cannot help himself. Call dibs with him. I think I've already called reverse dibs on it. And it's actually not at all easy to convert to 230V, it uses a single primary trafo that I had custom built by SumR in Canada (fully shielded and potted). So some major surgery would be required along with a new trafo. This thing is going to be pretty much US voltage spec only but should be completely devoid of the hum issues that other single chassis betas have had. Geez, I've really managed to crap the heck out of this thread. Report

November 11, 200817 yr comment_174858 Mine was very easy to change which goes to show that Nate could build one for you... Shhhuush you! It really just depends on the transformer. All the Avel trafos I've come across could be used in 230V countries, I just didn't use one for this beta. Report

The push button seems particularly cool. hey, have you ever considered trying a First Watt F3 with your Gallos? I know you may be headed down another path, but I think it would be worth trying... Here's a F3+Gallo review.. 6moons audio reviews: FirstWatt F3/Gallo Ref 3.1 - A brief riff on good sound and the power required to make it Report

November 12, 200817 yr comment_175008 Yeah, a little RSAish, although I completely understand the desire. Sweet aesthetic! I like the looks of that jack on there, and the lettering is quite good as well. But of course, it would have been Lily B22 "The Beta" for the full effect. Report
