just joking,naturally........
in fact,doesn't matter which amp is in question, with look like this -you can make it prettier ( at least same as others) if you make additional front plate and fix it to front htsnk ;
in that case front htsnk will have forced "chimney effect" and probably be slightly more effective........if sides of that htsnk are enough for heat transfer from main heatsinks........
ya know what I mean

I always like guesswork
Probably, it is due to the more 2nd harmonics
At least on my experience
I am leaning slightly more towards the 2nd harmonics
Happy New Year, All !!!

I see a wonderful machine even if dirty
I worked even ystrdy something on it
some lazy Al plate lathing..........fixing one nice sport steering wheel
pure DIY fun
and yes- cleaning and painting and minor fixes scheduled for spring
Thank you, even more guys Kind words indeed
There must be something wrong with January the first! It gives you a fuzzy head every time.....
Yes I made the speakers myself. Its the ProAc Response 2.5 clone. I followed Troels Gravesens instructions and made the 2.95 version. I veneered them with Elm tree. You can see Buhl's nice Response clones on Troel's page.

Jrsun, they are biased at 6 amps each. I am pretty thrilled that they are finally finished. You know its a couple of days ago, since I started on those. They have been put on hold for most of that time.
These are the inductors.

Much appreciated
I'm very happy to see you got them both up and running, I'll drop by for a listening session sometime in the nearest future, since I am very frequently in Odense, actually posting from there right now
(Odense is close to Kerteminde for those geographically challenged out there).For those interested it seems like my own little amp project is going to make some noise in the nearest future. You can see the state of progress here:

Happy new year everybody.

That was a terrible spelling mistake, hastening to correct it; I meant ofcourse on-going.
Thank you all for those nice words. I kind of get the idea that the A-X's are prettier than the other amps I made?
You are welcome
I cant wait to see your own little project when its finished The A-X's has been playing a lot over the last few day's and the sound has actually opened up a bit. They have an open-ness in sound that I have never heard before. Its like every instrument has much more room. The soundstage is bang on, and the entire range from the deepest to the highest has a nice homogenic and coherent touch to it. Maybe the power-reserves accounts for some of that, but I also tend to think that the A-X takes the best advantage of the X-CCS-BosoZ, somehow. Since they are both truly balanced cuircuits, maybe they act together, to sound so great. I didnt try the A-X's with singleended input yet, since I didnt bother to connect the Phono jack's. Did anyone else experience something along those lines? I could be bias'ed you know
Steen
BTW Take a look at the real thing here, and maybe read some of Nelson's articles while you are there. "The Peanutbutter and Chocolate" article had me started out on the Aleph-X's

Well, I guess ungoing suits most of the AX projects somewhat better
Will most likely visit the princess this weekend, so I'll drop by if you happen to be at home, will bring the goodies as well, as it dawned on me that it would be a pitty to have them lost in the mail
As for my own little project, I almost assembled the boxes last night. This pic was taken with my cellphone, hence the crappy quality.
