Blumenstein Audio bases for Bottlehead amps (BlumenBottle bases, if you like) now have the option of coming with a clear acrylic bottom plate! Show off your handiwork while protecting the bottom.
We floated this idea over on the Blumenstein Ultra Fi thread (
http://www.bottlehead.com/smf/index.php/topic,1943.msg34882.html#msg34882) and since we had enough interest, we've since sourced the plates and have drilled ventilation holes, as pictured in the attached photo.
Most of the bases that we've shipped out were outfitted with a bottom kerf so you can order a bottom plate after the fact.
Yet another one of our changes that was spurred by suggestions from customers is that we'll be upgrading the feet we put on the bases from felt ones to soft, 50A durometer polyurethane domed feet. The height (same height as standard BH feet) allows for better ventilation and the softness might even help a little bit with vibration dampening.
Past customers: Contact us with your current address if you'd like to get these new feet; they're free! PM or email
