It's Canary wood.

I think most of us will agree that wood makes a fine
faceplate. Too bad it's such a lousy heat sink.

Looks great. I was suprised to see plexiglass on the back. I thought that it was aluminum from the first picture. I guess that you have enough heatsinking for the Aleph 5 with those heatsinks, and can afford to use plexiglass and wood for the rest of the chassis. How warm do the heatsinks get?

After five hour and you can still touch the heatsinks, but they are warm.

Crank up the bias until they are scalding

Beautiful job Mike

I like the plexiglass touch. The faceplate is rather unusual and also quite lovely. How do you like the sound of the Aleph? What type of power supply are you using? Is it regulated?

Did you choose Canary wood to make your amp sing? What is the size of your heatsinks? Beautiful job on the amp.

This is the nicest sounding amp. It makes me wonder what the Aleph 2 will sound like. It is possible the other half may be upgraded to a 2, if I can find some more heatsinks. It is not using a regulated supply. It may have one in the future. The heatsinks are 8x12 with 31 fins.
