Yes, its looks quite nice.
Justin sent those pictures to me as well, and it looks more or less what he explained to me 1 year ago.
The final ones will have black chassis' though, so the heatsinks will blend in. I am sure there will be some engraved text on the front panel as well.
Can't wait to see the end result!
...and that he hopefully will build another batch if I decide to buy one.

Bummer, dude!
Any idea what the street price on that baby is likely to be and what kind of sound and features Justin is aiming for in that design?

Its a limited edition amplifier. Of which 13 units will be produced, and where every one have been covered for. I believe the price is $4,500

So besides exclusivity, what are you getting for your $4500?

I was totally psyched when Justin sent those pics - really can't wait for the final product!
Justin mentioned that he's made some more changes that ultimately resulted in using even better parts than originally planned; it should be the best product Justin has created to date.

Not to sound obtuse but why would I order a custom built hybrid stat amp?
What would I expect to hear for my extra dough over existing stat amp offerings?
