What photo
Hi Alan,
What photo are you refering too?
I have sent a lot of pics out on PM so I have lost track a bit...!
The all acrylic cases have no buttons badges or windows at all, the remote sensor is internal and there are no external buttons.
I did have a machined alloy " Overkill Audio" badge on the front of the black acrylic DAC casework. In fact I still have one of those cases with the badge, it also has a 4 channel Bencmark DAC board inside...!
Cheers
Derek.

Extra dampening
Hi Douglas,
You can’t really see it on these pics but there is a lot of extra bitumen / lead dampening on the transport mechanism, chassis and lid.
Also the plastic disk drawer is heavily treated with special anti vibration compound, the extra Cardas post on the centre of the drawer is to pull open the drawer to "break the seal" when you press eject. This whole effort pays huge sonic dividends, this unit has outperformed some silly money big brand names, much to the bitter disappointment of the guys who spent the "nice Audi money" on the big brand stuff...!
Anyway you will see / hear for yourself in a few days. Hope the weather holds for the journey!
Cheers

Alloy and acrylic casework
Hi Guys,
Re the casework, I still have 1 small alloy case one large alloy case and 2 acrylic cases.
have attached some photographs showing some of the alloy casework.
You can see most of the alloy casework in the attached shots. The large and small alloy cases with the black acrylic windows are the ones. They are on the right hand rack below the CD player.
The 2 alloy units on the right had rack ( not the 3 power amps) are the same as the empty cases I have.
You can use the casework for anything from power amps to DAC’s.
There are no attached feet but you can use Stillpoints, rubber ,Sorbothane or some of the stainless steel legs I am selling separately.
I am only asking for £200 for the smaller case and £300 for the bigger case. They cost me £2,000 as I had to pay a one off CAD design fee of £1,000 and then the two cases were £1,000 for the pair.
They are pretty amazing, really Jeff Rolland stuff when you see them close up.
For UK buyers we can meet half way between our homes, I stay near Cambridge.
All the acrylic cases are bubble wrapped and stored up the loft so getting them down to take pics is more work than just driving to show you them...!
They are all stunning in the flesh, my photography won’t do them justice.
Cheers
Derek.

A stereo Benchmark A to D board. Mint, never used!
1 pair of acrylic Angel bass / mid cabinets with 4 Seas 8 ' Excel drivers.
The Dynaudio Contour 1.8 Mk 2, Cherry wood, very nice!
Thats about it, for now.

Cases..
Hi Alan,
OOpps, I forgot about the cases!
They are 20' wide, 19' deep, 5' tall, external dimensions, all walls 10mm thick black acrylic. CNC machined stainless steel back plate with just about every connection you can think of, including USB!
Each case ( two available ) weighs approx 12Kg.
Would be better collected as shipping would be expensive and risky.
Plus you can get a sneak peak of my new OB manger based speakers when you collect....!
Cheers
Derek.

Derek,
Height and width OK - but 19inches deep is a bit too much for me.
