the Larocco Full Monty

I folks, long time!! I've been waiting for a custom headphone amp to be built for over 2 months and it's finally done!! It should arrive with me tomorrow or Monday, so I'll post some intitial thoughts in a few weeks after she's burnt in. In the meantime, Larry (the builder) posted me some pics and I thought some of you would enjoy seeing them. The amp is built on the PPA design but if you look in my signature you'll see that she's undergone a metamorphesis and is now something totally different. If you'd like to see further info on this amp, goto the ipod studio and click on the picture of her. We've named her....

the full monty

Looks cool.
Headphone amps always look enormous in the pics.
Hope you enjoy it.
Let us know how you get on
Cheers

Thanks!! To give you at least some perspective, the height is 85mms. I don't have the other dimensions but it will help you adjust your vision a little..
