Seriously though, I don't want the $20 off, I don't deserve it. Only posted 1st because I'm up too late.
Damn it, I was about to edit my post so we can go 1/3 but Justin quoted me.
Damn you Justin....

Give it to Thrice, he deserves it.
I see no reason why we can't split it
You're on for the arm wrestling....either that or you can give me the TakeT in exchange and we'll call it even.
PS...I like the newer knob better.

Nah you wouldn't like the Taket anyway, they aren't very good
I was an arm wrestling champion in school. Fat and weak now though.
Oh yeah, Justin I like the knob and screws better too, it looks awesome, can't wait. Thank you for the 5 minute competition too, I will donate my share of the winnings to Thrice as an act of international good will!

The back will have the DC adapter input, and USB jack if the DAC is added. The HeadAmp logo will also be there, and a place for the serial #.
I didn't think it was worth asking for Edwood's valuable time for the back panel

Fair enough, makes sense and I can visualize it.

Actually, they all missed the color tint tweak you asked me to do.

Cool knob, Justin.
What kind of volume pot are you using?
Also, is there going to be a line out if you just want to take advantage of the DAC?
