Which hammond are you using there?

Rob.

 

[jhawk22]

546-1455N2201, its 8'' long. I had tried the 6'' model but it seemed too cramped. The dynalo gets pretty hot.

The Board:

CB inside the enclosure:

and the CMOY...

The big hole on the amp was supposed to be for the pot that in the end couldn't fit in the enclosure.

The enclosure will change soon as the setup will become with 2 9v bats in series, better opamp, pot, different switch and led.


EDIT: Pics moved to http://www.halmetaudio.cjb.net/Cmoy1.html

Nice work with your CMOY DolbyR.

I suppose the sound is great with your new headphones

Good luck with the next one.

I fit a Dynalo in the 6" model and it was a tight fit. It has a Alps blue pot and a Neutrik Chrome nose jack. I doubt I could have fit the locking jack in. The case does get really warm. I replaced the top panel with a metal grill.

Where did the headphone logo LED come from?

I was able to fit the dynalo in the 6'' hammond but with the pot and jack mounted off center.


I made the headphone logo with acrylic and photoshop, its one of a kind.

Here are some pics of the top(tinted) and back.

Very nice looking build jhawk22!!!!! How does it sound?

 

[jhawk22]

Compared to a ppa with glassman's diamond buffers, it sounds brighter, more impact in bass, the treble seems a little more edgey. Some recordings sound truely horrible, its not very forgiving. I notice sounds not heard on the ppa.

I prefer the warm sound of the ppa with opa627, but the dynalo seems to be growing on me

 

[Xakepa]

-2x2227PA
-TLE2426+BUF634 on the ground channel
-Gain 3
-Matched resistors
-Socketed input caps (jumpered for no DC offset soundcard)
-In, out, switch, diode

Hope you like it...sorry for the crapy quality (25K)

Beautiful! o.o

Ok, so I thought I'd post a few piccies of my lovely new millet hybrid. I have chucked them all into photobucket, after a bit of squashing, but they are still a little large... If anybody needs any a bit smaller, then PM me and i'll squash 'em a bit more.

Firstly, My new amp, kicking it on my desk. Note the funky switch i found with built in LED, kinda looks like a dalek weapon i recon.

Second, a pic of the back, showing my (soon to be replaced) interconnects, and the power input. I decided to go for a DIN connector here, so that it would be lockable and not fall out.

Next, the obligatory internals. Glare from the top of the caps meant this was the best shot i could get of the inside, but it gives a rough idea of the inside.

Here is a shot of the slight modification i made to the design, because my power supply was having kittens, a resistor in line with the power in, to load the supply whilst the caps/tubes are charging/warming up.

And last but not least, my millet rocking out with his new pal, mr RS-1. Life is sweet.

Hope you guys like the pics as much as I like my new amp, and cheers for all the help.

Stew

nice deal but this part surprising :

Why ? I see no reason these are inadequate unless the cable itself very poor sounding.
Don't fall into the that pretty means better trap.That you need to spend a fortune on heavy metal "plugs as jewelry" and "pretty colors" cable coverings.Down that path leads good to look at but not to better sounding cables.In fact usually far worse sound and problems getting the suckers to make an actual good connection though you will never hear the cable manufacturers say that (how else could they charge you thousands per connection ?)

nice tidy amp though

 

[stewtheking]

Nonsense, everybody knows a prettier cable sounds better.

No, the "soon to be replaced" was a bit of a mis-nomer. I am planning to build some cables to replace some other ones elsewhere in the system that aren't as nice, so if I build some pretty ones, they are going to be stuck into my pretty amp on my desk, and the other ones moved to behind the stack, where they'll never get seen, as opposed to hiding my nice new ones. If that makes grammatical sense.

Makes sense.Asking the wrong guy about grammer though
