Thanks! Those are amazing. I like how everything matches perfectly. Quote: Originally Posted by swt61 Very nice quattro98! Here are a few pics of my own β22. It's a four channel, with dual σ22s in a separate enclosure. There were many hands involved with this...

They're from ATI, who also supplied the chassis. Quote: Originally Posted by fishski13 quattro98, very sexy. where did you source the knobs?

I started this a few years ago & then was too busy to finish it. Recently, I decided it was time to get it completed. This is my first true DIY project (although I have plenty of experience soldering & using a multimeter). I'm excited by how well it turned out. The chassis is from ATI...

You can buy them directly from the AMB store. AMB audio shop Quote: Originally Posted by pistolsnipe hey, i am looking for 1.5 inch heatsinks on mouser without pins (so i can thread and screw them down.) i have found everything else but those. amb specefies them as...

A powered sub should take line-level inputs, the same as the amplifier for your main speakers, so the pre-amp outputs should be fine. Quote: Originally Posted by jtostenr Just wanted to clear something up w.r.t. loop-outs, preamp outs and subwoofers. I'd rather not have to hack my...

I've had one since they 1st came out. I'm using it as my main source for CD-quality music. I ripped all my CDs to an extra computer (with an external drive) in Apple lossless & I just set my Apple TV to stream the remote library instead of syncing files to the small internal drive. I'm using the...

The easiest way to prep enameled wire is to use a solder pot. http://www.hmcelectronics.com/cgi-bi...uct/4200-0038/

You should have continuity between the positive & negative, if you don't that means the voice coil of the driver has burnt out. The music cutting in & out is likely a loose connection/bad solder joint. I'd just redo the joints.

I think you'll enjoy the K701s with the Gilmore Lite. I don't find the GL harsh or bright, but simply accurate. When compared with tube amps, many of which have large amounts of even-order harmonic distortion, a well designed solid-state amp will sound thinner, but that isn't a bad thing. In...

When dealing with the AC supply, you run quite a high risk of danger with inappropriate wiring. It's better to be safe with some overkill here. You can find 16 gauge stranded hookup wire at any Radio Shack or get a foot of extension cord wire from any hardware store/home improvement center.

I'm with JCX on trying some tone shaping. You might also want to experiment with crossfeed.
