Default My new big fat Aleph

Here is my newest project. It is a beast at 98 lbs (with top and front panel). It is my rendition of an Aleph 5 supersized. The chassis was originally built and used for my Zen IV project. I had enough parts laying around and decided to take a break from the Aleph X that is taking me forever to build. I never got around to sending the chassis out to be hard annodized so I though it would serve life better as an beast of an Aleph 5. This weekend it will be dissasembled, sanded and then off to metal finishing. It will be part of my home office system because when my wife saw it, she said no way is that beast finding it's way into our family room. She has no appreciation for fine audio but I love her just the same. Hey, everyone has their faults, right? Here are some pics.

Looks good!

Maybe it will also serve as a good warm up for your printer too.

Very good construction.
Wife... beautiful interior is to go always first. Probably, we need to persuade Nelson Pass to produce a beautiful and cheap amp, too.

By the way, I always like to have the connection points at the center of +q and -q.

Regards
