November 14, 200916 yr comment_296225 So its going to end up cheaper than i thought. So sue me. Mostly its because the power supply board is not going to be full size and that is going to make things cheaper. So the amplifier board really is what i said above unless there is some other charge i don't know about. Report

November 14, 200916 yr comment_296229 Darn, this is looking awesome! It is almost making me want an stax set up. But like many no money available. Report
November 24, 200916 yr comment_299271 Woah... Just came across this thread, must have been blind all this while (though I did only just joined the Headcase community ). This project looks awesome! I'll would dearly love to get my hands on one of these monsters. Now I know where to put ALL my hard earned money.... This IS my wet dream! Report
November 25, 200916 yr comment_299865 Well then, a couple of more pictures http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/t2chassis14.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/t2chassis15.jpg all thats left to do is the backpanel for the power supply, and to buy some shaft extenders (and pick a normal knob) (and pick which stax jack) glad i waited on the power supply board, as one of the mounting holes would have run into the front panel flange. amp boards should be here next week for those people just itching to start stuffing the boards. Angle brackets also available. Perfect for turkey day... I'm pretty much back on schedule. Report

November 25, 200916 yr comment_299898 This thing is going to kick major ass! Hard work well rewarded. Theres got to be a way to make this whole amp silver. At least for Spritzers sake. He did after all hunt down this unicorn in the first place. Report

December 1, 200916 yr comment_301562 Holy shite... here's to cnc milling! Looks to fit like a glove =) Report
December 3, 200916 yr comment_302027 Looking absolutely awesome. I just noticed how many holes there are in them boards. That'll take more than a few nights to stuff I expect the results to be well worth it Report
December 3, 200916 yr comment_302062 shipped power supply board this morning. parts stuffing starts possibly today. No later than saturday morning. fact is i'm sure i'm missing a few parts. I can stuff parts and solder the board in 4 hours! (I'm lying my ass off. ) Report
December 3, 200916 yr Author comment_302064 4 hours maybe with all parts precut and bent into the correct shape. Report
December 3, 200916 yr comment_302087 Excellent timing! I just got a quote from Richard for the iron for this and a b24. The shipping is crazy cheap for the weight. Report
December 3, 200916 yr Author comment_302108 Good to know since I have quite a few transformers to order... Report
December 3, 200916 yr comment_302112 I was worried as the beta24 one is like the plitron that Ti used but with everything I need on it instead of a separate supplementary toroid... heavy =S Report
