Plastic

When one of the many dissers and damage attempt(er)s of NVA product want to insult us they say we make plastic amps, well yes acrylic is a plastic as plastic means :-
"Plastic is material consisting of any of a wide range of synthetic or semi-synthetic organic compounds that are malleable and so can be moulded into solid objects."
Now this covers a wide range of material both in cost and effectiveness for different jobs from the film that covers your sausages at Tesco to acrylic which was developed originally as a replacement for glass.
It is the same for metal which varies from pig iron to gold, yet say something is made of metal and it is not an insult yet calling it plastic is considered an insult. I use acrylic for a number of reasons but mostly because I build to classII appliance regs as opposed to classI which is earthed metal case. classII is double insulted case with no mains earth connection. Acrylic gives me a vital first layer of insulation. I use it for other reasons due to metallic eddy currents and other things that effect and block the music in metal case amps IMO.
The other thing that is important to get across to you is cost, yes plastic cases can be made very cheap with cheap plastics, but acrylic cases cost more than aluminium or steel cases in equivalent size and complexity. Others have used acrylic, yet it seems the insults are reserved for NVA.
