The White Oak Audio Model 1 Cabbage Case Thread

Depends on what "in the wild" means Lee

Am I the first owner of a Model 1?

Mr. Lucitt may have beaten you to that Lee...but you are definitely in the early adopter league. You may want to strike up a deal with Mark on serial number tags.

 

[laatsch55]

Nah....but they can be #1, and #2 of the limited EK edition...

I have been thinking about how best to implement a “makers mark” and S/N tag for each amp I build.

Unfortunately, it can be very subjective on what’s appropriate.

Let’s discuss what might work for you.

Hi Eric
You will be receiving a Christmas card with 2 tamper proof, matte silver White Oak Audio serial number tags in it. They will be SN 0005 and 0006 unless otherwise argued

Awesome!

Thank you.

Still need an EK Special Edition tag...

Nice...

I will be in the market for one down the road, just not the right time for me. A rev bump or two down the road and I'll be a calling.

The Wire List was at Rev R last time I checked. There have been two early revisions. One was to the Power Control Board to allow larger AC power input wire gauge and the other was to the Meter Control Boards for better power regulation for the lighting circuit. These revisions did not affect the audio signal and were more aesthetic.

I would not expect to see any revisions to the Model ONE due to a continuous improvement process, small things may improve as time goes by but the engineering is solid.

If there are no pictures, it didn't happen...

Also, can we see a picture of the Cabbage Case? Please?

 

[laatsch55]

No pics yet, folks are on vacation..

 

[J!m]

The nerve of some people.

Have also observed too little evidence of said builds and nearly zero discussion of performance either subjective or objective for my tastes…,,,,,,

Hi Mark
Wire list revision is currently at Rev V driven by suggestions you made during your first build back in mid April of 2024 (thank you for that). Many revisions were driven in mechanicals, PCBs and documentation prior to any release of the product. Mostly small moves to get things optimized and to make the design more robust and more straightforward to build.

Fixin to cure that...

Mark posted an entire thread Scott and Eric is in the process of posting his progress currently.

Mark is building his second, and Eric is building his first. There are only 5 in existence at this point. A slide show exists that provides a step by step.

Can you send me a copy of the Rev V Wire List. I like all the reasons you mentioned.

Hi Mark
You have V, sent the other day and today it moved to RevW for a wire color mistake on the listing. You also have that RevW now.
