  3. Ground to a halt for the moment, turning my life upsidedown for a couple of months then hopefully I'll get back to it.
  4. I'm obviously terrible at checking things SORRY , been very busy. The advice is that the minimum SPL is 97db http://lampizator.eu/SPEAKERS/PROJECTS/P17/Endorphine from Kingston Kitchen.html

  7. Starting to look like the drawing. The front looks bent in the photo but it's not bent.
  8. Got the cables sorted, not from the top shelf but they will do. The cabinets on hold for a while, life's about to get in the way.
  9. Made some progress, the case is almost ready for a test assemble. I usually get the whole thing working before I disassemble and paint the case just to make sure I dont need any extra holes
  10. Agreed, I would never have been able to do the things I do without the Internet.
  11. It's amazing what can be achieved if you close your eye's and just go for it
  12. Of course if you really want you can just buy the components and I'll recycle the boxes
  13. Thats what I did with the Preamp but I'm going to see how this goes first!
  14. I used the CNC I built, best thing I ever made
  15. I’ve finally had the time to get my son's amp underway. I have had a lot of success using the IcePower amp modules so I am using the ASC300 - AC300 combo for his amp. I have just reconfigured his Korg Preamp and the 24V PSU for it will be in this amp. I would definitely have built the Korg differently if I knew then what I know now! This amp will control the pre as well. He will be able to turn this amp on via the button or via a Bluetooth app, probably easier to just press the button The turn on and off will be sequenced using a Arduino Nano to avoid the snap crackle pop. The case will be made from Switchpanel X that will be sprayed with the usual texture coat and Brown-Bronze automotive paint. The trims and veneers will be from Red Sirus which has been my favorite timber for some year now. I like the Switchpanel X material but it is terrible on cutters! I drew the case using Fusion 360 and us it to produce the code for the CNC. Today was very frustrating, lots of hours and just as many issues. I lost the center pieces from the 4-P-A-P (the text I engraved) and had to spend some considerable time supergluing tiny pieces of veneer in and redoing the engraving, I was amazed it worked!

  17. Some times it's hard to tell if you'e had a good day or bad day. To start with I thought it was bad day. I made my son a set of speaker cables and in true form they are time consuming to make. I used some Van Damme 4 core cable I had, I only really needed 2 cores for each cable but had 4 to use up so I did it in twisted pairs. The cables were ready to hand over and at the last minute I thought I would super glue the brass caps on that are on the connectors otherwise they always seem to come off and get lost. I bought the cables back into the garage to do the gluing and as I went to apply the first bit of glue I notice something strange. OMG, with one of the cables I had twisted different pairs on either end, meaning I had created a dead short!. Wouldn't want to plug those into an amp! So it was a good day It take hours to make the wooden caps, then I have to resin them on and wait till the next day to finish off. I guess I'll have to do both so they stay the same lenght!
  18. I see what you mean about the price. I used a pair for my main speakers and when you couldn't get them anymore I panicked and bought another pair second hand just in case one of mine failed. Good to you can get them again, as long as you can afford them
  19. Hmmm, very nice, where did you get the Neo 10's from
  20. Now I can get on with my sons Streamer rebuild & new amp!
  21. It was all very stressful gluing it together, I used epoxey for the strength and to buy myself a bit of time, turned out I only just had enough time
