TX BBQ images are considered art and can only be used under license. The printer had to go with plain ole NC BBQ Public Domain pics for the PPP (prototype pyramid poster). :smirk:

That looks incredible... I still have the burl table my Dad made 50 years ago
I am now experimenting with purpleheart and Birdseye maple. A loaner for @AudioGal to check out. She knows tubes so I will have to include something nice. 38BE5323-5F3B-4452-9B8E-A47194898D77.jpeg

Phew! Even though I helped to nudge the pendulum even further off center than normal it's nice to see the thread go back to audio stuff.

Nice work as usual @Paladin79! The purpleheart is beautiful. Am I seeing cut-outs for VU meters?

No that is the back of the amp, cutouts are for Neutrik RCA jacks and IEM socket with fuse and switch. There is a lot of sanding to be done so I just put some mineral spirits on part of it to get a sense of the color. I had just finished the spline work. I keep samples pretty simple but they allow for experimentation, if I mess the cabinet up, they are after all just samples.😺 If I really mess up I have @Bcowen’s address.

I will most likely include a Melz 1578 (6SN7) with this one and maybe a vintage Svetlana or RCA power tube.

Ah, that makes sense. To save yourself a bit of work, you shouldn't bother including a return address when you ship it to @AudioGal. :L3000:

LOL it then goes on to a couple gentlemen in California, @AudioGal is capable of building her own amps and I want people to hear it along side a couple other amps and hear it with ZMF Verites, I listen with Focal Utopias myself and I am very happy with the sound but I am always open to new thoughts. If someone really likes this one I started another in spalted maple, and I will be working with catalpa soon so I may try for an amp cabinet in that.

One of our product lines is suddenly on 16 week backorder for a stupid CONNECTOR so who knows. It is not a great time to manufacture electronics at the moment.

A lot of us here having been waiting longer than usual for our Schiit to arrive. In the last week and a half I've been fortunate to receive the following:

Mag Mod by davidflas, on Flickr

and

Aegir by davidflas, on Flickr

Was expecting the Aegir, didn't expect the two free stickers!

Is this the quiet before the storm? Could a new product announcement be imminent? :thinking:

Congratulations! The Aegir is a wonderful amp.

Customer service story: Ordered a C-Stock Magni as a companion to my "lonely" Modi. Received within days, but power switch was broken. A quick RMA request, followed by an email from Lauren within the hour..... Printed return label and had in the system first thing monday. Well, monday afternoon, I have a new Magni :). I've sent them a message, as I didn't mind waiting for repair.....

In the meantime - finished a little SchRoonStack consisting of Ropieee running on a Raspberry Pi 4 | Modi | Magni. Connected to Roon - works a treat. Planning on another for the garage....

Maybe it's the fact that it's late and I'm tired, but I found this snip from a vintage Sony ad to be funny. :D
