Title: Knobs
Post by: dpump on 2 Jan 2007, 03:06 am

Does anyone know where to get some nicer knobs for the MAD preamps? I have the older Line 2M that has 3 large knobs-selector, balance, and volume. The metal tapered knobs that are on a preamp in the pictures section are nice, but I've never seen any like that for sale.

I bought my aluminum knobs from:

There's a picture of mine in the lower left hand corner of the Mapletree gallery.

Thanks Steve! I ordered the same knobs you have tonight. They will really 'dress-up' my preamp & headphone amp.

And that would be me.  Scott made me a pair of beautiful figured maple side panels and a matching knob that everybody who has seen them has remarked how beautiful they are.

In fact, my wife was *disappointed* to hear that the headamp was for my office and not for the main system in the living room.  Now it looks as if I may have to get another one :D.

The amp is not done yet, so I can't comment on sonics just yet, but if it ends up sounding half as good as it looks, it will be great. (and I have no doubt it will.)
