You built that by hand :eek:

That some seriously good work guys.

I remember seeing it on HF thinking you sent away for them to be machined, they looked that well done.

They were machined...machined by Dr. Wood. ;) And thanks for the kind words, your free headphone stand will be shipped soon, as per our agreement. :P

precision automation is such a wonderful thing...

That is enough for 4 amplifiers, left another 8 at work, on monday

the same thing except 10 inches for the power supplies...

Heatsinks will be in house in about 3 weeks, program already written and

tested on a hunk of wax...

Then the front/back panels after that, then the circuit board order.

Top and bottom panels are a no brainer.

I'm picturing him molding the heatsinks out of wax -- :D -- but seriously, I know that's not right:

1 - what would he use for heat sources? He's not going to waste real components on that.

2 - it wouldn't work anyway -- they'd melt starting at the heat sources, rather than at the fins.

So seriously -- what is he doing -- does he already have the heatsinks molded, and he's putting a wax film on it to make sure the heat is getting dissipated evenly?

Dr. wood, i know you can do a better job.

Well unfortunately I don't have a resaw ATM. And my planers lowest setting is 1/4". I'd need to find a source for 1/16" exotic stock.

I suppose I could use veneers, but it would change the look slightly (more and thinner layers).

And the companion amplifier to the T2, the SRX circuit as built by stax

(the $12k thing) with help from you know who.

Option of the caddok completely non-inductive plate resistors, or the T2 current

source.

Fits in the same size chassis with the same size power supply boxes...

Could be under $2500 in parts total with the good sockets and the DACT.

Blows the crap out of the ES1/2...

Got to go to a meeting, will glue the pdf's together later...

Especially with the caddok current sources, this one is a complete no-brainer

to build! Hardly any parts.
