Used to have 20' but was stolen and not cheap.
I also have tons of RR axles I make anvils from for panel beating.
I got some shorter pieces at a yard sale, 12"-24" for a couple bucks each.
The way I run such ( my old credenza and the 'data closet' ) is to have the temp AC controller, then get a 120AC to 5VDC brick... wire the fan to the 5V. You can tweak the temp settiing and use a very quiet, wide and slow fan. At some point, you tune it to where the fan will cycle on and off and will keep the cavity nice at the desired temp.
I got a 45 year old wok. Built when the Chinese took their wok building seriously. That sucker is big and heavy.
Use the amp to cook your dinner.
So was someone suggestion a train rail credenza as a more affordable version than full copper? 🤔
In all seriousness, hopefully we don't scare folks away from using a smaller chassis for the F5m such as those listed by Nelson in the article. I think the point of the recent talk of heat sinks is that whatever chassis you use, the thermal power dissapation must be addressed appropriately. There's a lot of options available on how to do that.
It's my understanding that the only way to get a Pass Labs forum member card is to be jested by Zen Mod a bare minimum of two to three dozen times 😉 I'll get there someday. We all gotta start somewhere.

Not this one. It's more like a work of art than a piece of furniture. No defacing of anything visible will happen. I'll sort out a way to put the amp inside and keep it cool with minimal holes .It will work fine.I'm not worried.you can mount speaker drivers in credenza too
perfect WAF
The more I listen to the F5m, the more I am astonished at the sound quality for the price. This amp blows away amps that’s cost 5 figures. The clarity is amazing and it can be built with a quality case for under $400.
I’m curious, subjectively, does it sound better than the PS Audio BHK designed amps in your system?
Best,

Anand, I haven’t gone there yet but I will soon. The BHKs are really good.
I use noctua, it's 12 volt, I just buy wall warts around 6-7 volts, plenty slow and quiet.
I have a good friend who's driving freight trains all around the Europe
Does that counts?
Yo, Bwana!
How much do you want of it?
I'll st.....I mean, I will buy it and send to Ancient Batsch town of yours! 😎
My understanding of the class A amp is this:
The more you are enjoying it and cranking it up 🎺🙂🎸(higher signal level in and out) the cooler the heatsink gets.
…Since you then are diverting the heavenly sounding class-A- POWER to the speakers instead of just warming the heatsinks.
Right or wrong?
