n_maher Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hmm, I'm clearly going to be in the minority but I'd say that's my least favorite of the amps he's designed lately. I'm an unabashed admirer of the Moth aesthetic too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atothex Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Beautiful. Which tube is the light bulb looking one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopstretch Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 what about it do you not like? "Lines/Cans", graduated slope of the casing, Police Squad power light. That said, I so want one. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penger Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I guess if I had to pick, I like the ZDT/Zana look more. Good thing no money = no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tyrion Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 A work of art. That is one beautiful amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morphsci Posted March 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Beautiful. Which tube is the light bulb looking one? Chinese light bulb 6SN7 "Lines/Cans", graduated slope of the casing, Police Squad power light. That said, I so want one. :'( More original than Preamp/Headphones, Better than crowding the front/better ergonomics, A work of art. That is one beautiful amp. I totally agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n_maher Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 what about it do you not like? To me it simply does not have the same magic, all the parts are similar to many of the Moth/EC amps but to my eye it just doesn't add up to the same whole. It's certainly not ugly by any stretch but it doesn't make me go either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

postjack Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I think its cool aesthetically, very bold how he has the knobs on the incline facing almost vertically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Chalk Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 LOL @: 4-pin headphone jacksockets not interrupted by any knobssingle-ended headphone jack It's almost like he was reading the Woo Audio thread, only I know this had to have been in the works long before that.

laxx Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Not liking the knobs on top, and how the top plate is angular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deepak Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Not liking the knobs on top, and how the top plate is angular. Probably inspired by the original Xana, which is IMO his best looking amp http://www.mothmuseum.com/mothaudio/xanahi.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I also really like the way it looks, and like the knobs on top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPH Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I dig the look, except for the big red LED. Anyone preordered one of those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceClass Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 I like the angular top plate but the knobs look cheap and nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grawk Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 It's an esthetic. Bakelite knobs are cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aura Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Craig has been using those knobs for a long time. It's not exactly Moth, but the BA styling is decent. Eddie Current in general has always seemed more industrial to me compared to the classic aesthetic of its predecessor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icarium Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 FS: Rare Version 6H8C Russian Military 6SN7GT, Nickel Base Tubes (NOS) - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and Portable Audio <- Anyone know anything about this tube? Thinking about stocking up for the Balancing Act. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
