April 17, 200917 yr What's the case made out of, marble? Probably something like Corian, which my Doshi is cased in. Great material for casework imo.
April 17, 200917 yr That post doesn't scream shill or anything. Oh come on, it's only one of the best on this planet. At least he didn't say universe.
April 17, 200917 yr I think it's damn ugly, not pretty enough to be worth that much. They need to talk to ray about some styling tips
April 17, 200917 yr Author Plus headphone jacks on the back is immediate fail but... yeah I'm curious to hear what it sounds like but given that it seems to be a one off and in another countries pretty means anything even close to objective impressions seems to be impossible... but perhaps someone has experience with the company? Long shot I know.
April 17, 200917 yr Probably something like Corian, which my Doshi is cased in. Great material for casework imo. I was guessing micarta until you said that. Corian is probably more likely.
April 17, 200917 yr According to Silvercore "the price is unimportant" is listed as a feature. Awesome! I'll interpret that as "pay what you think its worth".
April 19, 200917 yr Price is 4200 euros. Headphone socket can be put where you want it It appears the 812A's are run conservatively 480v 35ma Build time is only around 4months
April 19, 200917 yr Awesome! I'll interpret that as "pay what you think its worth". I offer $100.00!!!
April 19, 200917 yr Price is 4200 euros. Headphone socket can be put where you want it It appears the 812A's are run conservatively 480v 35ma Build time is only around 4months Going by the info on this page the price seems fairly reasonable. The case is teflon & stainless steel, it uses a transformer volume control, and the power supply is all oil-filled polypropylene capacitors with lots of chokes. Which probably explains why the units as a whole weighs 60 pounds. I don't think I've seen any reviews of this particular amp, but I recall reading favrourable impressions on the other products when they exhibited at the European Triode Festival a few years back.
April 19, 200917 yr Given the amount of care put into the general aesthetics of the design, they could have done marginally better on the headphone jack.
April 22, 200917 yr It's kind of badass, but the Woo stuff sure is easier to afford. Might be worth it for those cool wires going up to the top of the tubes. Saw a satisfied customer for it on headfi but the choice of tubes on this amp is making a few people puzzled, I've never seen/heard of an amp with these tubes. Might sound really good though, who knows. At nearly 6 grand it's going to take some bravery to find out.
April 22, 200917 yr At around $6k it's in Blue Hawaii (BHSE) territory. Lets not say anything about the kind of speaker rig one could get for that either.
April 22, 200917 yr It's kind of badass, but the Woo stuff sure is easier to afford. Might be worth it for those cool wires going up to the top of the tubes. Please think before posting. If you start spouting this kinda fluffy spam without actually knowing what the heck you're talking about, you won't like your experience here much at all. First and last friendly warning.
April 22, 200917 yr Might be worth it for those cool wires going up to the top of the tubes. might be worth it for you to hold one of those cool wires to your right temple and one to your left temple for a few seconds.
April 22, 200917 yr Just saying I like its appearance, and that there's not a lot that anyone can say about its choice of tubes as there aren't real many amps out there that have those tubes. Sheesh.
April 22, 200917 yr there aren't real many amps out there that have those tubes. Sheesh. Yes, fake amps have taken up the usage of all those tubes. Since you didn't read the welcome pm, or the friendly suggestions to do so, I'm assuming you didn't have time. I'm going to help you with that. While you're vacationing, please read the welcome pm, and if you choose to return, please don't post for awhile. Edited April 22, 200917 yr by boomana
