the K-12M from S5 electronics in a custom aluminum enclosure painted... an odd color and then clearcoated. even though the electronics part took me just one day to complete, the case and some tweaks/improvements took the whole holiday break!!!

the amp drives my akg's like a dream. it put enough bass in those things to make me completely satisfied with both the quality and the volume of bass! unbelievable, no?

the power recepticle is a 5 amp EMI filter i picked up at hsc, which goes to shielded (thanks aerius) transformers to a cheaply tweaked out board in triode mode, then out again on the cheapest rat shack jack i can find (yeah... i'm cheap) with a pair of 5 ohm wirewound resistors to sort of match the impedence. all of this is switched on and off by a heavy duty 15 amp switch (just so it can make a loud clicky sound)
