Progress Report

[Paul Birkeland]

This isn't something that I can really comment on.  I haven't tried that paint, I don't have a feel for how thick the paint layer will be, I don't know what the temperature rating of the paint is, etc.

I haven't tried that paint,

What? You haven't painted all your gear in glitter paint since you heard of the paint? What's wrong with you?  ;D

The paint is rather ... wel different. It's seems to shoot out flakes of glitter "semi suspended" in a milky medium. I say semi suspended because some flakes seem to fly off on their own. Never seen anything like that. Seems to work best on a white background. Creates a very strange effect depending on light conditions.

I suspect the artistic amongst us will be able to create some out there visual affect - maybe a canary yellow base coat with a blue flake? Amp building meets custom car building?

Looking forward to the kit, but I'm planning a VERY slow and deliberate build. Not decided what I want to do with the wood yet.

Cleet.

Paul, re "Particular grade of cat 5 wire:" Is that a top secret re brand?

Bernie.

 

[Doc B]

He didn't say anything about brand, he said grade. It's plenum grade which means teflon insulated.

Thanks Doc.

Bernie.

We will also make the BeeQuiet available for this preamp as a level control upgrade.

Will the current BeeQuiet work with the Smash? 

Or, will there be a new BeeQuiet designed to work with the Smash? As is in a SmashQuiet?.

And, when will the C4S upgrade come out?

Yes, but the installation will be a little different and the wire lengths a little different.

Look for the C4S upgrade somewhere around late June/early July.

[Mr. Davis]

Any news on the C4S upgrade?

Any news on the C4S upgrade?

I built the prototype and installed in on our "not quite right" Smash in the lab.  Josh is currently hammering away on the Quicksand manual, and I believe the Smash upgrade may be the next manual we shoot.

Does the Quicksand require a hammer?
