fini Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'm not Craig, but it looks pretty cool! I'd like to see someone make a tube amp in the shape of a Christmas tree, using the tubes for lights, but I'm a pretty festive guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parrot Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Does the Plexiglas-looking stuff go straight through or is that design illusion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 XMAN - Maybe you can make the next meeting on Oct 8th at my place. http://wardsweb.org/LSB/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddy Dee Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Very nice look. Congrats! Thanks for posting. It's SET, right? How many wpc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 The plexi is cut in a "u" shape and the base cut with grooves all the way around. This allows the plexi to slide in on either end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauln Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I does sure look nice, but mechanically the way the unit suspends from the feet by plexi (which is a little flexy), I'm surprised if it is not subject to vibration and thereby the tubes suseptable to michronphonicity (its a word).

jbsl Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 I'll try and make it. I work nights at Dell and we work alot of weekends so not sure but I'll try and make it. Xman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOSValves Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Luther, Looks awesome as always. I have a few questions 1) How does it sound 2) Do you ever find time to sleep Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul ---------------- Actually it is quite rigid. The side width is short and machined into the base. Add to that each piece is held to the next by a spacer machined from 2024 T351 billet and bolted together. I needed the entire unit to be very sturdy to handle pushing in the headphone plug. The extra benefit is non-resonance and having the amp isolated on pin point feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 As usual with your projects that amp is a Tour de Force in aesthetics and from what I have read at Audiokarma I am sure that the electronics are every bit as elegantly constructed. Audio art! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Landau Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Very elegant art deco-ish look. I really like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audio art! I'm working on the constuction site for my website now. It will photo document the entire process step by step. I hope to have it online in a week or so.
