Here's my B24 Build!

Postby Pinnocchio » November 6th, 2011, 12:06 pm

So I decided to embark on this very nice journey of building the B24 amp.

I'm actually using very similar build that Ti has done. Since he has done an excellent job, why not make it like him! :mrgreen:

The casing is the biggest work of it though! I'm essentially using the same chassis but since it would cost me lots of money to ship my own material to Front Panel Express, I decided to mill it myself. This is including all the millions of holes in the heatsinks, front top and bottom plates. I have have some parts made at front panel which are modified versions of Ti's originals.

Here's the back panel so far... Of course there won't be any fingerprints once finished... :D

Million thanks to Ti for his generous help!

I will keep on posting more pictures of this work as I advance further into the project!

I'm awaiting some parts from front panel express so it could take a week or two..

Thanks

Thanks!

I can't wait to make this baby sing!

I'm going to power it up and adjust this week and I hope everything is gold!

Ciao!

Awesome! Looks great! I'm been at about the same place you are for the last year+. But just did get some progress done recently so hopefully I'll be able to use you as further inspiration.

Don't give up! You're almost there!!!

I've got many other project after this one so I made myself a promess to finish it completely before starting something else.

I'm also working in parallel finishing up a pair of Jim Holtz Statements speakers... They're almost done as well!

Post some picture of your build here

Actually I've never been to htguide... I will go take a look.

I'm planning to build some Zaph speakers as well. One of my friend did the ZRT and it sounds really good!

I did the sr71 and the zdt3.5. LOVE the zdt. The midrange dome is probably what does it for me personally.
