My budget is tight at the moment but if I was getting one of these (and I wish I was!), I'd just get a clear-coat and not get ano'd.  They look so cool with the raw aluminum finish.  You can see all of the little marks and get a feel for the CNC work that went into these cases.  Cool stuff. 

Matt - we've never seen CNC workmanship and creativity like your stuff around here.  Looking forward to your future creations. 

Cheers,
J

Thanks Jack!!

Tomorrow my Bel Canto DAC 2.5 is coming. It'll replace my current DAC and pre amp (Emotiva). Soon i will get the Vista Audio phono amp as well to do my table.

Just picturing it now...... A sweet ass case..... Some gold plating on the front  8)

You are indeed a MASTER builder, they really look nice. If you don't mind what are the brands of the loudspeakers and subs you have pictured? Model #'s? Thanks and keep up the Good, No make that GREAT WORK!!!

The subs are Power Sound Audio XS-15's and I made those speakers using the GR research n2x kit.

Wow, that final product there is absolutely stunning. I wish you great success in the audio industry should you pursue it, or anything you do, of course.

Nice!  :thumb:

Those enclosures are completely sick!  Great work!  I love the black anodized look.

Matt, Could you make a thread in The Vinyl Circle about your DIY turntable?  Your turntable looks super.  We want the details and pictures.  Did
you ever get a chance to compare turntables?  Looking forward to your turntable thread.

Matt, it is safe to say that this thread has made you famous.  You are great working on metal.  How about wood?  Where do your electronics skills come from?  Do you design your own amp or is it based on somebody's  design.  I am happy that you are making beautiful cases for the
audiophiles here at Audiocircle.

These amps are in kit form and require minimal soldering and assembly skills.

Thanks!

I'm a machinist for a living and i've learned a lot about electronics from my father. As Scotty said, these are easy to assemble.

I've machined wood a few times but it makes a huge mess in my machine.

Matt, 2 suggestions for your next project.  First a moderate cost turntable to replace the classic Technics SL1200 mk2 turntable.  Second a DIY
record cleaning machine.
