September 27, 201213 yr Very, very cool. Heading to Twitter and App.net now. Edited September 27, 201213 yr by blessingx
November 8, 201213 yr Don't know exactly, lots of things on my plate at the moment. Really need more writers but waiting for budget approvals.
November 8, 201213 yr Some of the hobbyists out there would definitely do it for free. Same person I suggested to you for the Paradox also has every Grado ever and quite a few amps to compare the DSHA to.
November 9, 201213 yr Author If someone is interested in taking the DSHA-1 for a spin for the purposes of writing a short review somewhere, I am happy to oblige. There are lots of places to do a writeup. Also, there is a new blog post for the first half of the Black Diamond headphone amp -- a project I am working on at http://diy.ecpaudio.com Edited November 9, 201213 yr by dsavitsk
November 9, 201213 yr ^ Darn nice of you, but I would be afraid of the loan. It is a very expensive amp and I would worry to death something might happen to it.
November 9, 201213 yr The Black Diamond looks pretty interesting Doug, looking forward to more results! Edited November 9, 201213 yr by skullguise
January 31, 201412 yr Kind sir I offer you five hundred american dollars. Wait what the hell is that?
February 1, 201412 yr The new Black Diamond prototype looks great, Doug. Still, you know how much I like being able to see into my DSHA-1 prototype. You do such gorgeous design and layout. Other people here also seem to like looking in. I can't help but wonder if you could do a product in wood and metal, but with a transparent top (and maybe bottom too) so that the innards would be on display? Edit: Also, I can't wait to listen to this iteration of the Black Diamond. I really liked the sound of the first prototype. Edited February 1, 201412 yr by guzziguy
February 1, 201412 yr Author The acrylic cases are, unfortunately, just not strong enough. I wish they were as it would give me an excuse to buy a laser cutter, but I just don't see it as a workable option. I looked into doing glass panels as I know the preference for see-through things, but it was going to be cost prohibitive to get done. If anyone else knows something about getting glass parts made, I am all ears.
February 1, 201412 yr I'm thinking more in just having the top be acrylic. I would think that a reasonably thick (whatever that is) of plexiglass would be strong enough. Of course, I don't really know what criteria you use to determine necessary strength.
