Nice! Is that a silver/white led behind the volume knob? Looks ice cold. Nice work!

Thanks gents!

A turquoise (blue/green) LED is used for the volume knop ring to match the tone of the tube level meter… a kind of blue-greenish.
It seems a bit lighter on the pic due to mixing with daylight.

Actually, I have made the LED circuit exchangeable and can change it in red or blue when desired.

I finished a s11 + m3 build last night and have been listening to the combo the whole day. It sounds wonderful. Haven't really heard some of the music like this before. It brought out elements I hadn't noticed in music I have heard hundreds of times before. Thanks to AMB for continuing to make this possible.

After I had completed measurements and biasing I hooked it up to the not-very high-end output of my laptop and was amazed by what the amp did to the poor source. The first music I played was a FLAC file of Kraftwerk. I then decided I had to bring the amp to work the next day that I might enjoy it the whole day. So I looked around for a box suitable for high-speed installing... this is what I came up with (a moon cake box from Yummy Foods Co, San Francisco -- fitting since it soon is that time of the year again).







The build went smoothly. Next up is the y2, for which I received the parts today (Monday) after having ordered them late Friday night. Nice work, Ti.

Today I had it hooked up to my Philips DV-588A SACD + DVD-A player. Listened to a whole range of hi-res disks, from Channel Classics's Beethoven sonatas (SACD), to Depeche Mode's Violator (SACD) and Randy Newman's Little Criminals (DVD-A).

Cheers,
- Henrik

Awesome casing Henrik Nordberg

The M3 is such a nice amp, and yours is a nice build!

That'll show Hammond we don't need their expensive cases

great work

cheers

Thanks!

This was my first build in 22 years.

But now I am excited to get going with the y2. Will be a good companion to the m3.

Also, perhaps the most striking high-res disk I enjoyed today was the Flaming Lips At war with the mystics... DVD-A (24-bit/88.2 kHz).

Though I have a feeling the DAC in the cheapo Philips 588A is no match for the y2, even if it is "24-bit/192kHz".

That's a real nice looking cooky tin.

I'm wondering when we'll see hammond cases with cookie graphix (decals?) on them, just as a 'reply' back

Better yet; cookies in 'em.

Hello everyone. I finally got around to finishing re-casing my most recent project (a TREAD powered CMOY). I'm a little apprehensive to post these because my case skills leave a LOT to be desired, but hey, you have to start somewhere. I'll include a before and after shot.

After:

Ok, back to drooling over the other builds in this thread.

Very nice and original, just art

Hi,
Here are a few pics of a M3 I built sometime ago. It is housed on an ATI research chassis ( I think they went out of business because their website has been offline for sometime now). I have been rolling between AD8610,
AD845 and OPA627, I've found with my HD650, I prefer the AD845 sound over the other two.
Recently a motorized pot from Dantimax was added.

Very nice M3 in that ATI Research enclosure.

I still have a couple of ATI Research enclosures around, maybe I will build something with it soon.
ATI Research is indeed out of business a while back unfortunately.
