George,
Do you also own a Vincent amp to be able to make that comparison, or is that just your impression?
I was comparing photos of the Vincent to my experience owning a Levinson 23.5 for about 15 years....
Further to the theory that much of the profit margin in high end audio goes to making the enclosure, it seems everyone wants to defend and protect the enclosures like the formula for Coca Cola or Colonel Sanders recipe for chicken.
Nelson Pass is always friendly and forthcoming with information, but declined to comment on his enclosures in another forum, other than to say it would be prohibitively expensive in small quantities which is a reasonable point.
Also, that the quality of the aluminum affects the quality of the anodizing, however this wont be apparent until after the metalwork is done.
Understanding this is not as easy as working in MDF, I would still sure be nice to know of any resources, metal workers or anodizing shops who can do this type of thing.
Happy New Year to All
