Case Study: CS001
Case Study: CS001
Meet CS001. Inside this hand-tarnished case is a point-to-point germanium boost that is begging to crank up the heat on your amplifiers preamp. The hand tarnished case is part of my studies into natural finishes on my enclosures. I feel that natural finishes help tell the story of analog gear harnessing natural phenomenon to color our sound.
This unit uses a NOS 2N229 NPN Germanium transistor, Tropical Fish capacitors, and military-grade resistors to sculpt your tone into a midrange-punching powerhouse. I hardwire each and every component into a visually pleasing array that is as sturdy as it is beautiful.
CS001 is the first of the Case Study Series. This series is my avenue to share my prototypes and ideas with you before they are incorporated into my production models.
Thank you for owning a piece of our history!
