Post pics of your builds.... - Page 567

My nephew picked it up from South America were he was studying fish and playground equipment design . I made a trade with some old Bogen tube PA amps. Minus the tubes and transformers of course.

Especially the wiring. I was proud for using wires of different colors salvaged from an old PSU of a broken computer. I even went as far as braiding them and using heat shrinks.
You wiring is on a whole other level, on the other hand.
Front panel looks awesome too. Although I don't really like the look of the switch on the back.

Ya I don't like the switch that much either, I was having trouble finding a 4pdt switch that I liked, so I just got something simple. I figure its on the back so I didn't worry too much.

Thanks for the feedback!

Finished up my very own Torpedo amp from ECP Audio / Beezar. 

Love the form factor! :)

Wow I like that color combo and style!

Very snazzy.  Love the emblem.

Nice!  The stylings definitely fit the name

Nice work.  Love the copper rivets.  Rather retro.  Neat!

A little bit more modest than the build shown above, here's my home-made acoustic simulator :

Read AMB's reply here, he makes an excellent case for maintaining a balanced chain all the way through, if possible

There is a nice article in the latest Diyaudio newsletter titled "The Way I See It: To balance or not to balance, that's the question", by Jan Didden.

Nice! How does it sound? I read the project's page long time ago and thought about making one but never got around working on it.

I tried it last night on only one song from the album "Inhuman Rampage" by Dragonforce. I had the feeling that the singer was two or three meters farther from me that he used to. I didn't noticed any change on the instruments, but I didn't listened carefully.

I'll test it again tonight, I'll send you my feelings.

All of my builds : stand, cables, CMoy amp and CMoy acoustic simulator :

I don't really post much on head-fi, but I thought I would share my first build(s).

M Cubed:

grubDAC:

I'm loving the pairing of the M cubed with my HD580s. Thanks for the great work AMB. I've also been pretty impressed with the grubDAC.

Beautiful chassis.  I love that white LED ring!

Big Odibu (powered by standard quality toroid made by INDEL + discrete voltage regulator)

Simple front panel:
