Aegis DIY Tube Headphone Amplifier

Here are the cap dimensions: 10 x 28 mm odam 36 x 42 mm duelund 20.6 x 35 mm jupiter Obviously the duelunds are noticeably bigger than the jupiters. Is there a way I can make it fit ? Is it bad if the cap is touching the metal cover...- smodtactical

He said they only come in black ? I already ordered from him and thats what he told me. EDIT: Ohh so it seems they are actually grey not black and it was just the lighting that made them look that way. I got it.- smodtactical

Makes sense. I guess I was just looking for someone to say how great these are and how they are worth it given most products use way cheaper connectors. I talked to Justin at ampsandsound and even for his $15k plus head amp he's using like $3 rean connectors.- smodtactical

That is exactly what im getting. And yes 0.6 on same panel and touching panels. And 0.6 when leads touching each other. Either 0.6 or sometimes 0.4 for all the values.- smodtactical

Followed this vid. I tested all the panels that are in contact and got 0.6 which is what I get when the terminals are touching eachother as well. Is that acceptable?- smodtactical
