ok, lets try it

the only down side is that it makes things heavier and the holes for venting will be a little harder (maybe) to make well.

but sure, lets give it a try.

Your Beta22 is gorgeous but I would definitely look at getting a new knob. You have a magnificent case with a knob that looks like you took it off a dryer. (No offense) I would just suggest getting a new one. Maybe even having a custom one made, there is a guy in the DIY section that is making some beautiful ones. Great job none the less.

well, the knob was plastic and easy for me to drill a hole in

I have a nice metal knob from digikey but I didn't even try drilling that solid metal thing out.

yes, I know about the guy from estonia (Viljo) who makes knobs; he does really nice work, too

we're actually discussing some ideas along the lines of embedding leds in them. so, stay tuned; maybe something cool will come from this r/d work.

I also thought about getting a wooden one that would be cut from the same kind of wood as the side pieces. maybe I'll try that (if jason is up for it)

Awesome build Bryan! Very clean job.

haha... Next time I'm ordering more knobs I'll pick up some extra black ones

Friends don't let friends use Radio Shack knobs

that would have been my idea. i think that would fit very well to the the sidepanels.
but anything else looks very good

but my drier is flat to 40khz! so I thought its knob was worthy!

Wooden knob would be easy enough. Just need to know the diameter and depth. (At most the thickness of the side panels.)

 

[linuxworks]

another neat thing about the wood idea is that we can hollow out the middle part (somewhat easily, I would think) to allow for the led and wiring, or some concentric discs for electrical contacts.

Just put the finishing touches on my PPA / y1 desktop combo. PPA was made with 8x220 Cerafines, class A biased AD8610 op-amps, there's also a 24V TREAD and crossfeed board in the case. y1 is full configuration, standard parts. The interconnect was made with Neutrik 3.5mm plugs. The wood is cherry veneer with natural stain and a couple coats of polyurethane.

Not sure if this belongs here or not but I wasn't sure where else to post it, so Nate or any other mods feel free to relocate it at your whim.

I was doing some extensive repairs on a K1000 for a friend, and had to repair the voice coil wire as part of the process. Thought some people might find this interesting:

I feel like I've levelled up as a headphone geek in the process.

Another MiniMAX to add to this thread:

Night shot (it doesn't actually glow this much... long exposure)

And since the Internet doesn't have enough animated GIFs:

 

[johnwmclean]

hembergler, I love it! animated GIFS rock!

 

[linuxworks]

nice nite exposure.

do a double with a night and day, then 'stack' the images, for higher dyn range.

yes, photos can be high dynamic range, too
