November 8, 201213 yr comment_544383 Tyll, are we going to see a review of the DSHA-1 from you at some point? Report
November 8, 201213 yr comment_544522 Don't know exactly, lots of things on my plate at the moment. Really need more writers but waiting for budget approvals. Report
November 8, 201213 yr comment_544526 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. Report
November 9, 201213 yr Author comment_544675 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 Report
November 9, 201213 yr comment_544698 ^ 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. Report
November 9, 201213 yr comment_544702 The Black Diamond looks pretty interesting Doug, looking forward to more results! Edited November 9, 201213 yr by skullguise Report

February 1, 201412 yr comment_621106 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 Report
February 1, 201412 yr Author comment_621139 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. Report
February 1, 201412 yr comment_621152 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. Report
