Vintage tube sound from a modern amp

Hi

I promised Matt not to show internal pics, he sent plenty along the build but those are "his" pics. He does have construction photos on his site and on Insta and FB that that speak to the quality of build. It’s first rate inside too.

No zip ties or double face tape holding things. He uses clever use of stand offs to mount all internals. Everything is done on custom made point to point turret boards

It’s as nice on the inside as it is on the outside, built by someone who clearly loves what he does ....

@oddiofyl kindo strange and frankly suspicious that he asked you not to post photos of the inside.  I work in an industry where intellectual property can be worth a lot and I've never seen restrictions like that.  I assume he asks all his customers to not post photos.

I have looked at his photos on his website and it does look nice inside.  He created g-10 circuit boards for certain parts that are point-to-pint, not printed.  clever.  

So unless your amp has some secret that isn't in the photos he posted, I have to wonder.  

If he does have a secret in there  it will get out eventually but I can see his desire to delay it as long as possible.

I'm just curious.  I have no intention of building amps to compete with him.

Cary Audio for sure. If you want warm, syrupy and romantic I’d recommend the SLI-80 or the SLP-98. Way too much for me.

The photos on the site are a good example of what's inside.   Nothing secret in there, just honoring my word not to distribute pics of his work.   Which some of is a collaborative effort with Gordon Rankin.   That's all.   He didn't ask me not to,  it was just understood that I wouldn't be posting pics of his design, which is his IP.   

Sure these amps share a basic circuit design going way back , but this is his design.  You are reading way too deep into it.

This. I will not buy an amp using this type of construction. 

No zip ties or double face tape holding things.
