lekguan 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 I'd say the silver knob matches well. I think the headphone jack should be better on the front for easy access. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N@Z 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 Wooo... nice... I like the knob (& power switch) on the top but the headphone socket (& inputs) on the side to prevent cable stress & accidetly hitting the tubes. Can I see what it looks like with the black vol knob on & how about configuring the tubes in a diagonal pattern if it doesn't affect the innards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 Don't worry, the photos are fine. Out of curiosity, what circuit design will the mini tube amp be based on? Will it be requiring a seperate AC power supply? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digi01 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 it is a high version earmax archetype based headamp.using a a seperate AC power supply. the amp is still in progress.when finished,I will take some photos again. BTW,thank you again,the suggestion is very helpful Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

N@Z 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 Hopefully EarMaxPro as opposed to EarMax. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blues 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 yeah.. that would be better ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N3w_Typ3 0 Report post Posted October 23, 2004 sliver knob looks more matching and the headphone jack out at the side ( N@Z idea !! ) safer ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
