Pics af my ALEPH 2

[ndhennin]

As promised, here are the pics of your amps (I say your amps because without this forum and all of you, there woulldn't have been any amps).
Just finished listenning to Patricia Barber and currently listenning Serge Gainsbourg, I have to say there are great and worth the time spent !

Thanks again and here are the pics (including my DIY speakers)

JasonL,

at least you've started no funds for me right now to start mine!

but, i start a new job in 1 week. (working in an audio store!). so, once that starts, the money will be there.

ndhennin,

GREAT job. any details on components used?

 

[ndhennin]

The speakers ar made with dynaudio drivers.
The cabinet is a sandwich of 16mm medium, 4 mm of tar and 28mm of walnut.

Clean and powerful looking, what a pair of brutes you have there. Why don't you take a moment and describe the sound quality? I was planning on building a pair of these fellows, but then along came the Aleph-X. Now I'm going to have to enjoy the sound of an Aleph 2 vicariously.

Great man! I`m shure that they sound great too!

Almost painfully goodlooking. Excellent work and congratulations!

I like the AC switch on a side. Impressive looking amp.

Beautiful detailing on the front of the aleph’s. What’s that on top of the sub?

 

[jleaman]

to me that looks like the power supply for the pre-amp

Am i right

Sorry Jason, you're wrong !

It's not the power supply of the preamp : it's the amp of the sub.
This is a linn sizmik in the custom version. They sell it to be mounted in the wall. So I bought it and made the cabinet for the driver, but I need time to make one for the amp. Save 40 % by buying the kustom serie. It sound's good, but not enough compared to the rest. I think I'm going to build a new one, I'd like to build it with an big ALtec or something like that. Then, I'll have to build an amp able to make it work (won't be an aleph, I still don't know what), and then the active crossover of Sir Nelson Pass.
