FTFY.Wooden fuse will go nicely with it.
It's call Ultimate as in last amp this week.
FTFY.
Odyssey was almost made with a wooden chassis. Tomas proposed this initially.
That's a Hammond enclosure. My Glenn used one just like it. By the way, as much as I love the Telemachus with my ZMF headphones, I can honestly say I have no desire to use it with headphones anymore, given the choice. I've been rocking the speaker taps and OMG, what an experience. I haven't touched my Atriums in 6 months. Just got some new insanely big "bookshelf" speakers in yesterday and put them on my desk and I've been running it all day. I'm in nearfield nirvana right now. RIP Tomas, this amp is the shiznit!
I don’t own any headphones, never enjoyed the way they present sound. I think that part of it is my tendency to listen to live acoustic music. Speakers can do the “they are here in my room” much better than headphones can. And with good recordings speakers can reproduce the physical scale of instruments like grand pianos much better as well.That's a Hammond enclosure. My Glenn used one just like it.

I have posted several times on this site about using powerful output tubes like 300b for headphones. Always seemed like overkill to me. But people like it so more power to them
I will buy my first set of headphones in a long time in the not so distant future. Hoping to explore the world of analog synthesis but I want to spare my housemates the random bleeps, bloops, and noise devolving into bouts of techno lol.
x2! But I do enjoy headphones too, when it gets later in night. Comparing my headphones to speakers, there's not a lot of difference, both good soundstage, resolve etc. Speakers, better realism, but headphones you can hear the intricacies of the detail better possibly, probably due to room resonances with speakers.I don’t own any headphones, never enjoyed the way they present sound.

You are sooooo lucky to have one of the few Telemachuses every made, I think 2 or maybe 3. This will be the pinnacle of Sonic's achievements, who knows how great it would have been to see this achieve the greatness it deserves. I was interested in this above all else, the 300B together with some of the newer technologies.That's a Hammond enclosure. My Glenn used one just like it.
