Beautiful work.

Whilst this is a 'Home' PG one off, its been done how I think PG would have done it themselves back in the day. Kudos to you for that Nico. Simply stunning. :hurr: :hurr: :clap: :clap: :hurr: :hurr: :clap: :clap:

Time for me to give you praise, great job man. a/d/s's 8 ch has nothing on this.

Brad.

I remember you talking about building an amp like this. Nico was already on this amp at that point, and I knew how much troubles we had already encountered, so it was hard to not tell - due to keeping the mysterious line.

Thanks for all the comments; I am very happy with the amp as well.
After installing the plexi, it is almost impossible to take a decent picture of the amp because of the shine, but I tried.
When powered up, my cam flashes all the time, and with the flash turned off, there is not much to see [I need a better camera Brett!]
In real life it's really something to see those four green, and 16 red led's glowing in the dark. 8)
A couple of you guys have PM-d me about the build, so I will post a "building the MS875" thread in a couple of days. :wink:

have you considered lighting up the area under the buss bars? It just looks like it is lacking a little bit, this might be too much but just curious as it would be pretty easy.
what else can I say I am a grumpy asshole most of the time.

If you could see it for real, you would find that all the goldplated parts, along with the red parts like coils and torroids plus the black of the railcaps etc. fill up the amp with soo much colour that adding lighting to it, would not suit it.
This is one very colourfull amp!. Also I was glad Ivar did not want to have the original colour of the led's changed; it all comes together beautifully when it powers up.
I find myself again and again powering it up, just to look at the glow once more in the dimmed light before going to bed...I promise to try and make a decent pic of it powered up this weekend.
Here a small preview of '"building the MS875".

Yes, in fact first it seemed to be a nightmare for my marriage, but now that the amp is finished, everytime I lay the amp on the table my wife wants me to do the same to her..... :hmm: Guess it's because this amp actually lookes like a huge item from a jewelry-store. :lol:

Marko, they are all goldplated....

That was Nico's idea. It was expensive, but just take a look at the detailed finish - I do not regret that now, it turned out wery nice...
