NeverSatisfied is getting a fresh d500

[grapplesaw]

Spenser and I have worked out a trade with him to receive a freshly upgraded d500
I wanted this to be special for Spencer so I finally decided to give him the best one I have

I can hardly wait Glen, going to be really exiting watching the build.
She looks like she was well taken care of and ready for some lightning.

Spencer: Whoa - that's good to hear Glen is building a D-500 Series Two for you.

Here's a few flashback memories of some of Glen's offerings at the 2019 Innovative Audio Garage Sale.

Nando.

That is an awesome thread, what an exciting day that must have been.
The two top audio gurus that I would have loved to have met would be Bob Carver and Arnie Nudell, there are of course other greats but those two guys are/were on another level.

Ok I have caught up on business stuff and now will settle in on this build.
milled the backplate for power plug and isolated RCA plugs. These are the heaved duty switchcraft plugs.

 

[grapplesaw]

Next up is clean holes in backplate. Then load the dockets and outputs. Unbelievable eh! Only a Canuck does it in revere order.
