So, here I go. Phase Linear 400
- Thread starter VSAT88
- Start date
The Speakers are called CornScala's and I bought the KIT from Bob Crites and built them out in the garage and then I got some rosewood veneer and tried my hand at it... They sound so awesome that I have sold most of my speakers. Looking at the picture, I built the Rega Clone turntable, I built the Clair Brothers WOPL, I built the Carver 4000t Pre, and tuners can be a mofo if you don't have the right equipment so I didn't build the Technics Tuna, I just added red LED's. I get lots of satisfaction out of building my own shit (ESPECIALLY IF IT WORKS AND SOUNDS GOOD TOO). Now that my shoulder has healed (mostly), I got some other projects up my sleeve. Me and Glen (Grapplesaw), were collaborating on a couple pairs of MONSTER Mono's so I'd like to finish that. Might as well since he stole all my good parts.... 
with envy. Love those Crites titanium diaphragms. Had a set in some meager 3.2's and they really did sound great. I want to try applying some veneer one day I just have to sort out what set of speakers that are nice enough to keep and not too nice that if I trash them I wont want to jump off a bridge somewhere. That Carver pre is about as fine looking a set as I have ever seen. Looks like a spaceship control panel. I call myself building at a heap of stuff but nothing anywhere like what you have there. Moving in that direction though. A bit at a time. In fact, a bit of that bit at a time just showed up today in the mailbox. Thanks a million. I am going to hop out to the shop later on tonight and follow instructions. Thanks again, Jim.

I agree about the AR 3's they "aint pretty but they sho can play" ! I have an idea that I will take those pots, l pads, rheostats whatever they are back out, put in terminal blocks and re electroplate the silver on them. They are still noisy after I took them apart cleaned them. You have a good eye ! Thanks.

No diodes today. Today was Transistor Monday though !! I will bet they will be here tomorrow. Remember I am in Alabama, lived here all my life and we do stuff well, kinda different here than some parts..(should read bass akwards) 
This is the most TO-3's I have ever seen ! Thanks again Sniffer. laatsch55, thanks for hanging in there with me. And to think how I worried about loosing on of the OPT screws........Not any more.

Well, hopefully you'll get some use out of the tranny's. If not, send them to Ed. I sent him 2 Medium flat Rate boxes full of them things... I think I seen them on ebay.

I moved from Huntsville last year back to Zona... It was brutally Humid.... I prefer the "Dry Heat"...
