Sheesh Steen... What's the RPM on those shafts?
Beautiful work, again and again, I give my vote for best implemente Pumpkin... so far.
ZM should be proud of you...
Thanks Tony
The shafts are low RPM, so should last a lifetime or two....Naa, ZM is not easily impressed. Dont know why, considering the messy stuff he builds, himself....he-he....

Greenies are ugly indeed, so they fit nicely into this Pumpkin, which afterall is a vegestable. Considering the overall colourscheme, I beleive a green LED is appropriate=> Black-Blue and a tad of Racing green to spice it up a tad. Add a little green LED light to shine the whole thing up and you have an eyepleaser
A slight green glow from 20+ LEDS within, combined with the "discrete" green LED on the faceplate sure looks nice to me The Erocco-teak's veins plays nicely in that greenish light.BTW Obviously I am back to working on too many projects again
Here is a pic of my USB efforts so far I wanna try the USB streaming audio and I had this DAC lying around and it sounds pretty good indeed! I better install a buffer for it though, I am not sure it sounds its best, driving a 5 meter cable with an output impedance of some 50K....
Its brentw's DAC, in case you wonder. Some TI USB receiver with a TDA 1543 DAC chip.This is the homepage: http://myaudiosystem.com/
I do beleive though that the twisted guys USB receiver is more flexible, since it can output several formats.

He-he, My Babbelfish was ugly, but it did sound better than all the other amp's.I build things,two perspectives: 1) I want to know how it sounds, kind of build.
2) This is good, I am gonna keep it, kind of build. The Pumpkin is in category 2)
Just in case you didnt figure that out, yourself I hope that with the ballbearings and all that, it will "Pass" on to my son ( Well,one of them
) In perfect working condition.... Yep the "finger" heatsinks does look like they belong, now that I have mounted 12 of them. If it works out temp. wise, I might keep them. It was a heck a work to install them ....
My Aleph-X monoblock's are another category 2 build
Take a look
Before you all fall a sleep again, here is a pic of the A-X's inside Small powerplants 1000VA trafo's 4x100.000uF Rifa's with a hand-wound 2mH aircore inductor in the middle per monoblock ( Thanks Magura)
BTW these are the amps that I have been listening to for the longest period of time. No other amp comes close, so I must really like these

Nope, He will soon get some more decent ones.
Manu
BTW : I forgot to say :extremely beautifull all this amps.
He-he, sounds great, Manu
Here is one last pic of my powerplants, seen from above!! Note the "Tribal" kind of bodyplates!!! They end up at approx 49 deg C. in practical use! Maybe a tad more in the summertime! 53 deg C is the hottest I have measured. Pretty good considering the 100 Watt's output per channel....
