I just don't understand; WHY is it that people are so hung up on either/or situations??

its not either/or.

it can be BOTH. just plan for some wide heat vents in case you like your bread^Wtoast cut thicker.



(lol....)

But does the kind of bread you toast affect the sound? I mean, it won't make the sound become empty and lifeless if I happen to put in some white bread, will it?

Only if you eat the bread right away. If you toast it slowly for the next 2000 hours and let us know how it changes every 15 minutes it should be fine. Also make sure you cryo treat your toaster and only use the purest silver/nichrome element.

Give 'em to me. It'll be a good start to a 6 Channel B22 I want to build.

Took a couple of quick pics with my cell phone. This thing dwarfs my dorm room. It doesn't look right, but oh well. The whole thing is made from 3/16" scrap aluminum that I rescued from the shop at school. It was a little beat up, and has some dings that I couldn't sand out, but that adds character. The finish is just 600 grit with an orbital sander. It is fit to within .005", for the hell of it, and is held together with aluminum L-bracket at the corners.

I have a Valab stepper, and amphenol jacks, with a neutrik powercon umbilical. The switch is a bulgin latching model, and is connected to a relay.

The amp is 3 channel, not balanced even though it has a 4pin xlr jack. I just used xlr to negate the short problems with TRS and 4 pin so I don't have to recable my phones again or make new cables if I go balanced.

I will post better pics when I can borrow someones camera.

^Yeah. It's crazy that I was able to find 4 16x12" plates basically in the garbage.

The amp sounds great so far. It gets surprisingly toasty. I am really happy to be done, both because I have the amp and because I have reclaimed my room from all of the components, soldering irons, etc.
