They're new-ish, but both have been used a bit on the open-baffle experiments . I think this unit has been used less. The Supravox from Steve is also lightly used . I need to install some socket nuts on the upper baffle section and fit a temporary piece of wood there, it will slightly improve the ba...

Seems like a lot of outlay and hassle to keep a camel just for that purpose ?

This is a very good project . I'll try & find a link to anything of my Aurora build that is still on the World-designs forum . The distortion can be very low with the right transformers . One of the things Lynn/Gary found was it's better to do the phase splitting at line level ( 2-3 volts ) or n...

Enjoying the precision of the latest Quasar variant with :

Having a listen now with crossover as per page 95, except the choke is 8.2mH and I've gone for about 135uF cap . There's been a fair bit of Brand X and King Crimson so far :D Waiting for a mountain of capacitors to run in. Lots to enjoy. The house 'Quasar ' sound is there . Dynamics are great , bass...

Was it lhx2014 who tried to run off with it ?

Ooh Nooo
Stage by stage the spirit of the late 60's is leaving us.

I must admit not knowing he was a founder member of Soft Machine . He must have left before the first album ... ?

All this talk of 'stripping off' and 'buns' is making me a bit queasy .
I'm not sure I want to see the next photo ....

Steve - your stuff is always well-enough made and impressive considering how quickly you work . I was particularly impressed with your new amps at the last Owston - very original . Nick - the cost of the two perspex front panels ( 1000mmx460mmx20mm ) with two accurate speaker cut-outs in each, inclu...

No worries !
( ps. on a train, you should be looking out of the window, not messing with phones/computers )

Thanks for the advice . Still sounds scary ! It's getting really straight smooth cuts that is non-trivial at home. The big pieces I have here were CNC-cut by the supplier on all edges and on the two circular cut-outs. At home I have only applied rounding cuts on the front edges and speaker cut-out r...

Looking good, but what purpose does the extended backward slope side frames serve, and do, if the acrylic front baffle stops short of this? Hold yer horses :roll: it's not finished yet ! The Azurahorn and Radian driver will sit above the Fostex . I think indeed ( as Andrew says ) an additional pers...

Here - a couple of atmospheric shots !
Now for some wires ....

Pic here from Friday . Since then the house has been full of the smell of varnish . Chokes now delayed till at least the middle of the week
