Re: Transformation of an amp

Really impressed - I love the recycled nature of it. Thanks, recycled parts are limited to heat-sink, power lead and feet from a DUAL and the boards. The rest is new. The case would only have been recycled if I had bought it with wine within. I didn't. Pity, the wine might have improved your enjoym...

Re: Transformation of an amp

Thank you, Fretless. And it's true, I'm looking at it very often feeling a bit proud. But nonetheless it's a copy of a NVA design. So the applause has to go to Richard and regarding the transformers and caps to the new NVA.

Re: Transformation of an amp

You could get acrylic for forty quid. Did you notice any difference with the vishay caps? Thank you, I'll think about acrylic when boredome comes up again (the wooden box was 5 Euros). It's now up for two days. Till now I don't hear any difference to the AP70, maybe after running in for a longer pe...

Transformation of an amp
