It’s been a long time since I had the chance to do any work on audio. I’m working on my solid state amp albeit very slowly. I need a volume control before I get the opportunity to install the new solid state system.<\/p>\n

The Slagle’s AVC<\/a> have been waiting for more than 6 months. I’ve been put off by the milling and woodwork involved. I simply don’t like that work. I found time and energy today to get started and managed to make very good progress.<\/p>\n

I used existing 4mm aluminium top plates I had at hand, hence the layout of this box. The hardwood frame has a first coat of wax. Need to add a second to reinforce the tone and make it slightly darker. The rotary switch is a \u00a0Russian 28-step military unit. Way more cheaper than the expensive hi-fi ones. The AVCs are from Dave Slagle. They have a fantastic reputation and having heard them before there is no doubt this will be a great addition to my system.<\/p>\n

I had to build a mounting frame for the AVCs. This support unit will hold the AVCs to the top plate. I have also added a mute switch which is quite handy.<\/p>\n

Soldering the AVC is a daunting task. Something I will do another day.<\/p>\n

Happy Easter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
