Glad you like the amp portreathbeach I was surprised to see my Cystal cMoy linked in here as its one of the threads I follow regularly after building my Audio Sector Gainclone kit.
I just fancied making something a bit different ,ive had some really great responses from the article and the trolling has been minimal 🙄
Regarding the catalyst I noted in the article that I should have used less probably the minimum of 1% but it was the first time I had cast something in resin apart from a quick test which was actually cooler when curing.Its pretty difficult to measure out such small amounts of catalyst required even with a syringe maybe I used more than intended.
Best Regards

That amp is yours? Brilliant! Absolutely wonderful! One of the coolest DIY projects ever. 😀 😀 😀
As you can tell, I really like it! Hopefully it sounds as good as it looks.
Again, Bravo!

I'll protect my secret and valuable design by putting the circuitry in potting compound!
I see a new brand name - Naked Audio!
I am sure if "Monster" had made this "Transparent Sound" would be at the top of their marketing Andrew 😀
Love your work with the Arduino BTW Linuxworks
And here is the emperor before and after his new clothes 😀
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

I said this in another forum that your project appeared in: if it was mine, I would have gone to great lengths to ensure that its reverse voltage protected, over voltage protected and input/output protected as well. I think outputs are fairly protected on modern op-amps but they don't do well with reverse polarity or over-voltage. an onboard regulator or some circuit that shuts down on 'bad things' would have been a good idea.
it looks like a LOT of work to fabricate; and powering it on by mistake the wrong way would really ruin my year (lol).

One could build a second "normal" version which does the signal processing and fake up dummy cables to the "potted" version that is on show.
It will still look good, even though the contents are dead.

define 1 & 2.
As a to 3. coloured glass is not transparent. Some wavelengths of visible light are being filtered/attenuated.

You guys are easily contented. It's hard to be an artist, painful road. Never fully happy....things always could be better.
Hi Koogar. I am building a cMoy headphone amp with bass boost into an old iPod 40gb case. I came across your headphone amp in my search for schematics etc. and I couldn't help but share it with the people of this forum.
I think that the size, shape and colour are perfect. It's different to anything else I have seen. It is good to find something done differently.

I think the novelty is in the transparency. You don't want too many unusual things at once, or it'll be overload. It's beautifully simple, that's why it's so stunning. Work of art koogar, very nice job!
