This week I was asked if we could provide support in raising donations for a charitable cause in Africa, Challenge Tanzania 2012. Filling ODAC orders and moving into our new office made this past week by far the busiest of the year, so I flagged the email when it came in on Tuesday morning. Flagged […]

Preparing for May – ODAC and New Office
ODAC Progress Those seeking to retrofit their O2’s with an ODAC can now preorder the O2+ODAC rear endplate for the Box B2-080 enclosure: Not sure why this rendering is so dark (Nick?!). They’ll match our O2 Front Plates. We’ve switched to a specialty machine shop based in Silicon Valley. Artwork on new endplates will be […]

Sticky Bumpers
I bought a birthday card this weekend for my grandfather. When I handed the card and envelope to the cashier, he said “Thanks for doing that!” I asked, ‘Sorry, what do you mean?’ “You placed the barcode face up.” He shook his head and explained that not many customers realize the time he spends flipping cards […]
A Busy Start
This won’t be a typical post. There’s nothing new to see here, just a reflection of our progress. We posted a short year end summary after 2010, at which time I drafted a few goals for 2011. The year turned out nothing like I’d planned…

O2 Boards, c421 Reviewed
It’s time for a few short updates. First, we’re helping out with NwAvGuy’s do-it-yourself O2 project. Bare O2 circuit boards are in stock: The O2 has created a stir in Head-Fi.org’s do-it-yourself community.

Rechargeable cMoyBB, First c421 Image
When we released the NiMH Module earlier this year, the idea was to bring recharging to the cMoyBB in a versatile fashion. Owners of existing cMoyBBs could add the feature to their older amps, and there was no need to revise the cMoyBB circuit board. But, the charging module placed too many limitations on the […]
c421 Pre-order Goes Live
Someone reminded us that we haven’t posted a c421 update in “forever”. Today’s your day: The c421 preorder page is now up! Note that the release date is tentative, so the page cannot yet be found through our store, and the formal announcement e-mail has not been sent out. We’ll send the official message when […]

While we eagerly await the release of c421, here are a few rough, rendered previews. The enclosure will be composed of black anodized aluminum with black or natural brushed aluminum end panels, unless we’re persuaded differently! Screws, light pipes, and the battery are not shown… We expected to have real samples in hand by […]
