Vintage tube sound from a modern amp

@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. 

oddiofyl:

The build pics on the site (toolshed) are impressive - I like the use of sturdy standoffs.

I do see a few small circuits boards with the traces used, but don't know what their purpose is.

The casework reminds me of a fancy metal rolling paper case that I had when I was in high school.
