The White Oak Audio Model 1 Cabbage Case Thread

It is a moving target to try and keep up with all the wire revisions. When you get to "Z" will the next revision be "AA"?

We are now at Y. Not for things of any consequence however...just to the point of fixing "forest for the trees" type issues.

That’s awesome!

 

[laatsch55]

Eric, the case shipped today....

Eric, the case shipped today....

Thanks, I’ll let you know once it arrives and confirm fitment.

 

[laatsch55]

Yeah, I'm severely curious about that...

 

[Hexis22]

The Cabbage Case has arrived, all 35 lbs of it...

Its a very robust case and should serve very well in shipping this quality amplifier without issue.

I'll post pictures of the amp in the case once ready to ship. The faceplate will be located on the left side of the picture.

I like a nice flight case.

Hmmmmm

Hmmmmm

That was my reaction at first.

Once you see the amp in the case, it will help with confidence.

 

[Hexis22]

Fits perfectly.

Not sure of that Eric I don't see enough support for 8 heatsink fins in the back, have no idea why it does not support both entire sides rather than 2 small pads and the front has very little support. Area is your friend when you have broad support surfaces.

The sides are a mystery to me also. The front is just like I wanted it, nothing even close to the faceplate. We can certainly glue some more foam on the sides. What can we do for the back Joe>?

My opinion is there should be a U-shaped corrugated wrap around the heat sinks in the rear to provide a load spreader for those fins. Else they will just cut into the foam on that side under shock in that direction. The corrugated spines should be oriented length-wise in the direction of the amp width, perpendicular to the fin direction.

The front should have some additional foam blocking applied as well, greatly avoiding the 2 pot shaft locations and the sensitivity switch in the middle. Soft wrap material should be applied between that blocking and the faceplate.

The goal is to spread out high PSI loading areas against foam cushioning. The handles will bear that in the current condition and create a very high PSI condition that will flatten the foam in a shock that occurs in the front to back direction.
