Got out of the hospital...

I would assume that they are assembled. My comment was intended to reflect upon the price vs. labor.

Hmmm. High Quality Audio & Industrial Attenuators Those look interesting, and are quite reasonably priced. Looks like a PITA to solder.

Nice color on the shelves. Can't say what that is on the middle shelf, other than it a) isn't balanced, and has an umbilical. Oh, and the cables look nice as well.

Pretty much any large symphonic work should suffice. Mahler, Shostakovich, etc. seem to work quite well. Don't be surprised if you have a hard time finding much that sounds good however. Years ago I resorted to buying the first pair of speakers which would play a CSO Mahler 8 recording; a pair of Infinity Monitors (though the ESS AMT-1s did OK as well). That pair of Bose 901s sure gave it the old college try however

Cut them if you are concerned with them... couldn't hurt (unless you need to reuse the board later). Front looks ok, no real comments. You might PM amb to see if it is ok using Amb Labs. Not quite sure what you mean by the text being milled out from the plate? As in cutting away material to leave raised text? I would think the rack handles might be a bit much as this isn't a big power amp. That's just me though.

Yep.

I would avoid ODLs. Klaus may not warranty it as well. As with any Odyssey purchase (used), get the serial number and call Klaus at (317) 299 5578 to check on it before buying it. Not to stir anything up, but what is the story on the ODL?

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!

Can't see anything out of the ordinary in the pic. What's so special about those PRPs?

Happy Birthday!

Sure it counts as one. One active and two redundant (or spare parts, if you prefer). Very prescient

Sorry to hear that Mike. Hope all goes as well as possible.

Smeggy, I use the same jack on my Dynalo, which is set up to also be a preamp, with the pre-outs wired off the switched jack. I have a modified e12 on it, with a muting switch, but of course this disables all outputs. When I tried it as a pre and listened to phones, I was also getting very quiet sound from the speakers (power amp stays on all the time). I haven't figured out why it is bleeding thru but it is. All three contacts do switch, so

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Justin!

Marc, Don't know as I haven't completed mine yet, or even gotten to the point that I could test it (slow build mode ). I am using a Pesante Dissipante 2U 300 case for an SE build, so should be good heatwise. I will be using a single sigma22 as the PSU, with a 120VA (I think, might be 160?) SumR tranny.

Happy Birthday (belated)!

Nope. Plays it inverted, however. Fear back on...

DigiPete can step in here, but I would think you could go longer on the boards and still retain Dynahi compatibility? As long as the output transistors are on the same footprint so you could use identical mounting brackets, it should be OK. Not sure on mounting holes on the other end; whether those would need to be in the same place?

Good point Nate. And your post was not taken in a bad light whatsoever.

8A. Still only 1000V though (only... hehe).

Got one. Including home-made leads. Bridge works too. My dad doesn't have a lab (and wouldn't have a clue as to what we are talking about, but I digress).
