Smeggy Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 I got the cups done in preparation. Still have to do the baffles and cable/vent ports. One nice thing about this kingwood, if you add a slight dish the grain changes direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pabbi1 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Just outstanding. Unrelated, but I am buying an extra set of the PoMan's Stax Amp boards we are prototyping, mainly to meet volume, but it is a footnote should something wiggle that way.

dBel84 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 wow, I hadn't stayed abreast of the PoMan and had no idea you were at the proto board stage already. It sure looks like anything could be a reality at this point..dB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smeggy Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 That is quite the sum! Maybe an 800 isn't such a pipe dream after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought that I wanted to put out there and am happy to be shot down. BUT this is sort of investing in the future of DIY ..dB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadphoneAddict Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 IF we could reach the goal of an HD800 I would chip in another $40 via paypal. Anyone else think that is a worthy goal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pabbi1 Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I'd vote for hd800, and send extra to do so, but if the hd600 (over hd650), plus Eagle would leave enough for some Lambda Pros, I think there is a winner, It is also an investment for him to have a range of phones with which he can hear his amps, at least the ones he builds. But, I still think the hd800 would make the statement for how we feel about his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
