Largest Pass DIY Amp built?

[Tytte71]

And here are some more images. As you could see I built my own heat sink for transistors that are on the board. I did also myself powder coating, what is really easy to do.

That is the most impressive diy amp case build I have ever seen. Beautiful!

AudioSan, I did not see those sinks so thanks for pointing them out. I think an X-600 will require three per side of the height you stated or two per side at least 9" tall. The good thing about that sink is it is really inexpensive. A 9" tall piece is only 59.00!

Very nice AR! What kind of digital back are you using? I have done lots of large format photography over the years, mostly landscape though. Fuji Velvia and Ilfochrome were my mainstays. When those left I sold my cameras.

I have been since 93' - with Phase One. I worked and shoot with all manufacturers in developing and testing digital backs - Discomed, Leaf, Sinar... but never changed from Phase One. For a long time on scanning backs and since 2002 on single capture ones from H20 to todays IQ backs.

I shoot almost exclusively on 8 x 10 and 4 x 5 for advertising clients and than switched to scanning backs since those were still like a real photography - real large format lenses and huge sized files. In 90' they were producing unstiched and uninterpolated 380 Mb files! There is still nothing like that today. Unfortunately those backs are not supported any more. They were great for product work.

Film days were pleasure but lots of work. Super expensive on 8 x 10. For a day of shoot, polaroid, film and processing would cost almost as one lens. Digital developed acceptance of lower standards and broke many photographers. In 90s everybody hated it and since 2000s no one would work with you if you are not digital. Beats me. Art Directors who know it all, I guess.

Nothing nicer than 4x5 out in nature. And nature - you have it plenty. My wife and myself were for a first time last summer in Salt Lake City on our way to Yellowstone. We had a blast. Stayed in Great America for a few days and really enjoyed the city. I drove all the way from San Francisco and had one of the most enjoyable and memorable trips. Spent a day on Salt Flats as well. What a place! I will definitely be back. I fall in love with the area.

Here are few shoots you might enjoy and I am sure recognize locations. Bike is my studio work, done by Ness Moto as a present for Clinton's library. Shoot by Phase 1 P45+ On Sinar P. The rest is from our trip last summer.
