Grinding is a very crude method that doesn't give the granules the proper consistency that immolation does. The problem with immolation is that you lose more material in the process, thus 3X as many horns are needed. It's quite wasteful, but the laws protecting unicorns are quite archaic so it's not a problem. No price is too high for audio nirvana.

  All that nice woodworking... yet a plastic knob?

Yea, I bought an aluminum knob and it ended up being about 1 or 2 mm to large and rubbed up against the gain button on the right and partially covered up the light on the other side. I also realized that I need to get a black metal knob since the rest of the cables and things are black, having the silver knob just didn't look right. I'd love a wooden knob, but I don't have a lathe to make one. If you know a good place to pick one up let me know.

Could you ad-hoc a lathe with a drill? Or just go against the grain (no pun intended) and make a non-round knob.

That is a possibility . . . Actually, you gave me an idea . . . I'll get back to you guys

OK, so I remembered I had a piece of Mora (the darker wood) that was the inside of the cutout I made for my wooden cups and while it's a gorgeous piece of wood, it's pretty huge. It fits, but basically takes up the entire space between the input and output (completely covering the light and gain switch, which I don't really use). I thought I would like the look of something "oversized" I'm thinking it just doesn't look right . . . Unfortunately I wouldn't be able to make this piece significantly smaller without spending about a week with a sander

OK, added the headphone stand and the wooden knob to the amp. Sorry for all the posts, what do you guys think, is the knob too big? Better than the plastic one?

LOVE IT!

Personally, I'd say it's a bit big. I would make it just small enough that white shows completely around it.
