August 21, 200817 yr Just curious if any of our excellent DIY gang are planning on building one of these? I have no immediate plans for one, but I'd love to see the build in progress if anyone is heading down that path.
August 21, 200817 yr Seems to be just a tad pointless for most people seeing how B22 will work nicely for up to 50 watts >.<.
August 21, 200817 yr I gave it a lot of thought, painful amounts really. In the end, even the single ended β22 is sufficient for my speaker needs (at this point) and the expense of the β24 is another order of magnitude that I just can't justify right now. The casework and degree of finish that I'd want to hold on a project like that would make the raw parts cost pale in comparison. When you figure that the power switch for my β22 is costing around $100 to implement you start to get the picture.
August 21, 200817 yr Seems to be just a tad pointless for most people seeing how B22 will work nicely for up to 50 watts >.<. You are in the wrong hobby. What does pointless have to do with anything audio? We do things because we can..............
August 21, 200817 yr Seems to be just a tad pointless for most people seeing how B22 will work nicely for up to 50 watts >.<. What kind of dumb statement is that, I know plenty of headphones that choke on anything less than 100wpc!
August 21, 200817 yr Go 1kW monoblocks! Which you can now get for $1,299! Seymour ICE Blocks So sexeh...
August 21, 200817 yr Well they certainly didn't cut corners on the parts. For $1299 seems like a pretty good deal.
August 21, 200817 yr Those are a pretty good deal. The casework alone is a significant percentage of that price.
August 21, 200817 yr i'm not going to buy any amp that has "nanotech" paint that only lasts three years. The "nanotech" is a finish to preserve the stainless steel luster, think of it is as super Glade furniture polish for metal. Makes the amp impervious to oil stains fingerprints and alien death rays.
August 21, 200817 yr solar powered, no batteries. I doubt that thing sees enough daylight to keep working..
August 21, 200817 yr Some of the ideas in this thread may have just explained the original craptor PSU's turn-on tremors...
