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.

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

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.

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.

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.
