Art or technology?

Art etc

Well, to be honest, the amp & preamp are my doing.
The front panels are made by a Norwegian artist which I met years ago and developed a friendly relationship with.
Its Helgi Joensen, born on the Far Oer islands, now residing in what I think is the most beautiful mansion in Old Stavanger. Check out www.helgijoensen.no.

I have many pieces of art from him. My amplifiers are absolutely stunning, the pics don't do justice to them.

You are killing me. You all! 🙂

Actually, my JLH rebuild is coming out nice... it has took much more than i expected because job/study has been sucking way too much of my spare time. Still, it'll nowhere as glorious looking as those two amps. 😱

Was that done to remedy an accident OR was it thought out in advance?

Well, I must admit I was tempted to post it as an example of an overheated amp😉

But the enclosure was purposely designed this way and Mr Joensen, for a reasonable fee (he thought) agreed to make the front panel which actually also covers the top.

This is my PP 6V6 valve amp...

I rebuilt a 1960's kitset that had been used as a guitar amp, put it in a new rackmount case and tweaked the circuit. I am using 2x NOS telefunken ECC83, a mullard ECC83, and a RCA 12AU7. I use Electro-Harmonix 6V6 outputs, which are very good.

It sounds fantastic, the output transformers are of very high quality and even the original 60s can capacitors seem to work fine.
