I wrote about my newly-built Dynahi in this post, where I mentioned that I wasn't 100% happy with the brushed aluminum volume knob. I thought that it stood out too much and clashed with the all-black theme.

Anyway, I have made a modification to the knob. The center flat portion is now matte black (same finish as the front panel), but I retained the brushed brightwork at the bevel and finger-grab areas of the knob. I like this much better... it provides just enough accent to complement the headphone jacks, but blends better with the rest of the case.

When I saw your Dynahi I couldn't imagine anyone topping your casework. Well someone did.......you

Good job, amb. You're absolutely right the matte black/silver knob makes a nice transition between the case and the jacks.

Two six step attenuators. Going to use them in a ppa at some point.

I finished building out my Millet Hybrid, although I haven't finished the casing work yet (working on a simple Hammond 1444 case).

I used the under-socket LED technique to light up the tubes and picked up some orange LEDs that have just the right color to give a nice tubey glow.

Well, it started snowing like crazy here so I figured if I was going to be shut in the house for the afternoon (parking bans = no car) I might as well temporarily case one of my Monica2 DACs so that I could listen to it. Seeing what time of year it was I decided that I would use a case similar to one that I used last year around this time. Temporary power comes from a 12V TREAD, eventually she's either going to have 2 TREADs or a 12V STEPS. I actually have the second TREAD all ready to go but I'm all out of 2.1mm jacks so that will have to wait for another day. So here's Monica, the mint DAC.

She sounds pretty great so far but I'm sure the Blackgates need a lot more time to burn in before she's at her best.

Nate, where can I find info and a PCB on the DAC you just built? Thanks a lot.

Thank You.

And my Millet here.

I like shooting night photos. Almost as fun as building amps!

And the Pimeta with Bass Boost and built in charger:
