recstar24 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 The usual simple elegance, Doug. Congrat on rolling them out! I concur. A nice refreshing change from some of the more "baroque" designs out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Obviously, given how much I liked your previous generation of amps I am a fan of this one from an aesthetic point of view. One thing - what's the story with the Neutrik combo jack? I can't quite tell but it appears to have the typical 3-pin layout so I'm left confused by its presence.

guzziguy Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 needs an ebony knob. Especially if it had ebony or black and white ebony side panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n_maher Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I followed the link and it takes me to the last page of the thread and I don't see anything about the jack, but whatever, I'm sure you had your reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shellylh Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Sorry for the confusion. It's just a TRS jack -- the 3-pin portion is not connected. I used it because a) TRS jacks are all ugly, and this was the least ugly to my eye, it will fit the same front panel as a 4-pin jack just in case someone were to work on another amplifier that was balanced but which had a similar profile and could fit into a similar case.

n_maher Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thanks Shelly. Head-Fi is so broken on my work computer it's not funny. Not that there's any reason to worry about it. I'm not sure I share you opinion on reason "a", Doug, but I certainly understand it from a fabrication perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin gilmore Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 just got in by accident a piece of ebony 15 inches x 2 inches x .5 inches. probably not long enough for 2 end pieces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavitsk Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Just shy. I had a piece of almost the same size I tried to will into a pair of sides with no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin gilmore Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 what is the finished size of the side panels if they were flat? going shopping for more ebony. (both kinds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavitsk Posted May 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 260mm x 36mm x 11mm with 2mm wide and 2mm deep rabbets cut in them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Chalk Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 just got in by accident a piece of ebony 15 inches x 2 inches x .5 inches. probably not long enough for 2 end pieces ...but maybe enough for a couple knobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin gilmore Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) knobs need to be 2 inches or more thick. reason is I have to have something to grab onto reliably to put the insert in. once the insert is in, I can bring it down to about .8 inch deep. machining into the insides of an expensive 2 inch collet chuck might get someone really pissed at me if I make a mistake. I have enough now for about 20 ebony knobs. but none are absolutely black like the few I had made previously. will be getting enough wood to make doug a pair of panels anyway. need to find someone that has been sitting on a piece of pure black ebony for 30 or 40 years.

postjack Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 The obvious joke is Steve. slightly less obvious: pretty sure larry at headphile has had the patent on ebony for the past 30-40 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
