Ok, so I thought I'd post a few piccies of my lovely new millet hybrid. I have chucked them all into photobucket, after a bit of squashing, but they are still a little large... If anybody needs any a bit smaller, then PM me and i'll squash 'em a bit more.
Second, a pic of the back, showing my (soon to be replaced) interconnects, and the power input. I decided to go for a DIN connector here, so that it would be lockable and not fall out. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17.../AMP2small.jpg
Next, the obligatory internals. Glare from the top of the caps meant this was the best shot i could get of the inside, but it gives a rough idea of the inside. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17.../AMP3small.jpg
Here is a shot of the slight modification i made to the design, because my power supply was having kittens, a resistor in line with the power in, to load the supply whilst the caps/tubes are charging/warming up. http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y17.../amp5small.jpg
Why ? I see no reason these are inadequate unless the cable itself very poor sounding.
Don't fall into the that pretty means better trap.That you need to spend a fortune on heavy metal "plugs as jewelry" and "pretty colors" cable coverings.Down that path leads good to look at but not to better sounding cables.In fact usually far worse sound and problems getting the suckers to make an actual good connection though you will never hear the cable manufacturers say that (how else could they charge you thousands per connection ?)
Nonsense, everybody knows a prettier cable sounds better. No, the "soon to be replaced" was a bit of a mis-nomer. I am planning to build some cables to replace some other ones elsewhere in the system that aren't as nice, so if I build some pretty ones, they are going to be stuck into my pretty amp on my desk, and the other ones moved to behind the stack, where they'll never get seen, as opposed to hiding my nice new ones. If that makes grammatical sense.
