Finest case for amplifier

[Eccu]

What is finest case for the diy amplifier seen by you?
Or have you ideas for very cool looking amplifier case?


Sorry my bad english.

This is one cool amp... The amplifier case look really good.

Speaking of the XA amps... what's used to light the power meters? Blue leds, neons? I want to add analog needle vu-meters to my soon coming preamp, and lighting them like that (sorta) would look cool.

On the other hand, i'm quite done with the wooden case for my JLH. It looks gorgeous, but i still dunno if it would need internal shielding (with aluiminum foil or whatever). I'll try to post some pics as soon as posible!

This is nice.
But how those copper foils are prevent from being oxidised or finger prints.

You can laquer the copper to prevent it from oxidizing.

Case

Can you imagine amplifier sound without listening it?
I don´t mean exactly superiority or differences between amplifiers sound, but only on the basis of the appearance.

Example:

Freddie´s picture:
I think this amplifier sounds like "rounded", "cold" and "icy".

planet10´s picture:
This amplifier sound is like "warm" and "creamy".

HPotter´s picture:
This amplifier sound is like "mechanical", "piercing", "fast" and little bit "flat".


These are only imagined differences....





I hope You understand my english.

Now, I don't know what you mean about XA amp?
Where I can find a picture about it?

EDIT:

Yes. Now I know that you mean Pass amps!

Nice toobes ....


For XA pics and details see www.passlabs.com and there is also a couple of threads here in the Pass Labs forum regarding this amp.

Haven't heard the amp so i can't say how it sounds. It was one of the hits of the latest VSAC show. More tidbits and pictures of the amp cab be seen by visiting the Doc Bottlehead VSAC site.

wow!

That is realy impressive.My next (major)project would probaly be tranzistor class-A,but this valve tubes is quite impressive.Now i dont know what to planed in the future.
I was thinking something like bi-amped system with A-class for tweeters and mid range and AB for bass.
