Just a couple of quick iPhone pics until I get the rest completed. There's a new base and some cosmetics yet to be done.
The transformers I did using Krylon metallic spray paint. The trick was to tape the units very carefully and to use Qtips to remove their varnish first.
My upgrades, you ask? Vampire solid copper RCA jacks, Cardas solid copper binding posts, DACT stepped attenuator, Mundorf Silver/Oil parafeed caps. The RCA jacks and binding posts both required their holes to be enlarged, and the attenuator needed the notch to be cut on the other side of its hole to accommodate the shortest possible wiring.
I'm using it to drive Omega Super 6 Monitors, a crossover-less full-range speaker design, 94 db sensitivity.
What a great combo! The Stereomour drives these even better than I'd hoped! Full volume is still louder than I ever use, but even cranked everything sounds effortless but dead-on correct. What a treat.
My thanks to everyone at Bottlehead for his/her contribution to this great kit! I learned a lot and my music has never sounded so, well... right.
Also thanks to everyone who has posted his or her opinions and discoveries - I was able to avoid a few mistakes because of all the info everyone's shared.
