Whammerdyne "Truth" | Ultimate 2A3 amplifier - "re-writing audio history (at least we think so) throw out what you ever thought or heard about 2A3 based single ended amplifiers and no feedback. Rattle the walls? no problem. Run out of gas. no way it defies what you think... fast, detailed , presence, extended, sweet, holographic.. on and on.. its all there. Remember no resistors or capacitors in the signal path bandwidth from 4 Hz to 155 Khz. Wide-band hum and noise 8 micro volts, that's eight millionths of a volt (That is 140 Db down!) I'm in heat and drift testing now , running dozens of cycles.. the cover shroud should be here by the end of the week. We are close to releasing the first units for reservations." -Dr. Tubeology
This tube amp is the brain child of a former client of mine. The electronic circuitry and development is completely his (and his team's) intelectual property. I was asked to develop the industrial design of the body to communicate the look and feel of the brand and it's amazing technology. The following images are intended to showcase my part in the design only. All internals and the final construction are not mine; only the appearance. All sketches and computer renderings during development were provided by me and we paid for by the client. I own no rights to the project, but do reserve the right of acknowledgement with regards to the work I performed.
Current estimated MSRP: $13,000
One of the initial sketch renders from the concept phase of the project. Additional Images may come later.
3D renders of the nearly final design. This is the ending portion of my role during this project. The photos that follow are of the prototype being built and tested by the client.

"Just had my own private demo of the "TRUTH" amp project that has been occupying my husband's spare time for the past two years. All I can say is "WOW". The sound is incredible. When I closed my eyes, I really felt like Phil Baker and Pink Martini is playing live in the Man Cave! I can't believe his vision has come to life" - Judi Miles Hickman
