Can you share, Doc?
Is your new amp primarily for speakers or headphones?

If this was on my forum, I would consider it a troll. I have no interest in d**k wagging over who has the most authority about what a headphone sounds like. I just like to make stuff, and I know what sounds good to me. And I happen to like the K1Ks. So we came up with something that I think works well with it.
Woohoo just received my Mainline shipping notification :atsmile:
Cheers Bottlehead Corp.
My Mainline just arrived! I'll probably spray the primer today or tomorrow (as soon as it stops raining here in the SF bay area, never thought I'd be saying that during the worst drought in recorded history), then top coat before the weekend and letting it dry a week before starting the build next weekend. I'm really looking forward to it!
Doc, isn't the Mainline intended to be a good match for AKG K1000? I assumed that since the Mainline spec pages mention the balanced plug pinout matches AKG, that it was the amp you recommended for pairing with them.

The mainline is here! But why is picking a top plate colour so hard? I've got Flat Antique Nickel Rust-Oleum, but I'm totally torn whether or not natural brushed aluminium is better.
Edit: Well, its on there. I used piece of carboard around the same size to get a feel for it. Its really quite sparkly.
I've sprayed all the top (showing) parts in flat white and painted the wood base with a steel gray stain. My goal is for it to come out very modern to match modern furniture. I'll take photos once the paint is dry and I have the parts mounted to the top plate. I'll probably wait until next weekend for the paint to properly cure on the metal parts.
