Wow...!!! Beautiful...
Hmm... common music with mine: John Lee Hooker, Taj Mahal, Diana Krall, Mark Knopfler, Men at Work... I know... The sound also sweet and warm as much as your amp's look...
Enjoy the listening !!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Love that Watco for popping the grain! Gorgeous work. Do you have a photo in its night-orange standby look? And a photo under the hood?
Nice piece of work!

praises to the zen v4's bass. charlie haden's bass on his album "beyond the missouri sky" and ron carter's on "my bass and i" are simply spectacular. the bass has body, weight and tonal articulation that's so right IMO. my zen plays with a pair of psb 4Ts and the preamp side of the musical fidelity xa-1. I had planned to bi-amp but the zen's bass is very much superior to the 50w/ch class A/B mf...which sounds flabby now.
my zen's input buffer is biased at about 30mA.

blues,
nice looking amp. i saw that in there the other day. im almost finished with my second chassis, thanks to you and a few others on this forum. hopefully i will see my creations in the gallery one day as well.

Nice work!
Really nice looking unit! I am a little surprised by the 1 mv ripple on the outputs. Mine was unmeasureable, with a VOM. Maybe I need a better meter.
I was a little light on heatsinking, mine ran at 170 degrees at 1.5 amps bias. Did not seem to hurt it, but was always something to think about.

Blues - Do you by any chance use an autofocus camera? I wonder if taking a picture of a warm object (the amp) confuses the autofocus mechanism. IIRC they use infrared for ranging.
that's right eLarson, my cheap camera keeps autofocusing...the picture comes out blurry everytime. so is the digital camera on my panasonic dvcam...when the lights are out and i aim at my zen that thing keeps trying to adjust focus...could not be the heat because it's on standby burnt orange😀 tried manual focus too.
tried manual focus too.
Hmm...maybe something to do with ambient light, too? Hard to say. I suppose I'll just stop now since it isn't germane to your actual work, which is extraordinary.
The future beckons!
with your twin zenv4s getting a good review from you i most probabaly will...for now i'm sitting down and immersing in sweet sounds, class A heat and azure glow.
