Matt, that is absolutely stuning workmanship. Just the programing time must be high. I would love to see what you could do with a lot of time, a lot of aluminum and a larger tower design.
Stunning :drool:

Matt, I still have a sheet of No Rez boxed up for you. So whenever you are ready to take them up a level let me know and I'll get it out to you.

I am also curious to hear what your impressions are when you install the tube connectors and get those slip on connectors out of the signal path on the drivers. I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised.

No apologizes :)

Can't wait till spring comes, getting sick of waking up to 10-20 degrees in the morning.

I couldn't agree more.  What are you replacing your Emotivas with?

I was thinking of a Peachtree Nova 125. Not the best but i've always wanted to try one, plus i can make a sweet ass enclosure out of aluminum for it :)

How do you design the enclosures?  I am currently learning SolidWorks and I get so much joy modeling up anything I can.

My work uses Gibbs CAM software which we use to make the tool paths the machines use to make the parts but in that software, there is a CAD section. Like solidworks but only 10% of the features. Has enough to design and draw my projects.

Used solidworks in college. Lots of fun. Our final project was to draw a steering wheel. With the finger bumps and stitching. Took months to draw :)
