It's called the "Beast". Wonder why

DalAudio.com made this for me. Only 3 have been made. The internals are the LM3886. 68W per channel at 4 ohms. Each channel has it's own transformer.

I had them tweak it a bit (from the original design). Had the gain turned down to 23.1db. Wanted a switch for LEDs and meter. The meter's can be set at high or low. Low will max out at 1w. High will be around 60w's.

OH you better believe I am making a plate for this beauty

No it's an amp from DalAudio.com. Gain clones are a perfect match for my 103db horns. Extremely low noise floor. The signal path is way shorter than that of an Emo amp. A few capacitors, resistors and a transistor (3886).

Most of the time my speakers use only a watt

but it'll put out 68.

Nice I love meters and those are big ones! Don't need much power when you've got such efficient speakers.

The whole system looks good Matt. It's unique and one of a kind!

Looking forward to seeing the custom face plate. I've got a feeling it'll be special.

I would hold off on the face plate for now till you make a decision on which CD Player you're going to get. An ERC 2? Or another brand?

My 2 cent.......go w/the ERC 2. all manufacturers have misshapes w/their gear, except since this is a smaller community we get to find out first hand.

As I said That is jut my 2 cents

Doc.
