What is MDF hardwood ? Presumably MDF made from chippings and sawdust fibres from Hardwoods? This of course assumes standard MDF is made from softwoods? EDIT: Just found this description of what can constitute the make up of MDF. MDF is a type of fibreboard made from wood or other lignocellulosic m...

how about "orphean" (melodious !) Quite like that name. Perhaps I'll leave it to my Son to give the amp a name. After all after I've had my fun with it it will be his to keep. That is if he can prise it away from me! Well last night with the help of NickG we managed to get music out of th...

Thanks for kind comments guys. As I say I'm really, really chuffed with the looks of amp and how it's turned out, especially as I've been hampered throughout the build with one leg in a plaster cast and a bloody screw holding my ankle together since my road accident. Still the cast is off now and th...

More piccies as promised: There will be only 2-inputs to the amp (CD + AUX) the extra 2-pairs of phonos are for PRE OUT and AMP IN. Jumper leads will be connected to these when used as a fully integrated amp. With jumper leads removed it can be used as a power amp or preamp. Gives a degree of flexib...
