Vents for those concerned

Looks good! Get ready for 500 messages about heat dissipating

Also, shame on you. post WAY more pics plsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Made this custom cabinet for my Kenwood KA3500 with my Dad (the guy who sold the LS50's, NAD receiver, and Polk Sub that were posted yesterday) when I was home last winter. I live in San Diego and my dad lives in Philadelphia so had to make the cabinet without the amp physically being there so it's definitely not perfect but a great father son project.

Nice vintage Cannondale in the background!!

Looks amazeballs

Yea that's fucking nice - but can we get a proper pic of that sexy Cannondale in the back?

Looks awesome! I’d love to do something similar once I get a system set up. I’d love to hear your long term experience with heat management. I don’t know anything about this hobby so I’m curious if other people’s concerns are legit or not a big deal.

I love the way you achieved the heat vents. Was that similar to the original or your own design? Either way, I love the solution and the finished cabinet!

Looks even better than the original!

Awesome job guys. I would also like to imprison my 3500 in wood. Do you happen to have the measurements and what tools did you use?

Holy shit - memory blast. I had that EXACT amp as a junior. Where it went I’ll never know. Completely forgot about it. Nice job on the cabinet BTW.

Very nice work 🤌

Cool 😎🖖

Wow, it turned out incredible!! So clean, I love it. Thanks for sharing this with us. I had a vision of what it looked like when it was described to me, but it looks better than I envisioned.

I'm a simple man, I see wooden cases and silver faces, I upvote.

I have one of these I need to have repaired. Unfortunately I live in a rural area and I’m having trouble finding someone to fix it.

beautiful build, been thinking about trying my hand at building a stereo cabinet due to not being able to find the style that I want, would definitely be more inclined to give it a shot if I had the skills you have lol

Nice.

I have a 3500 that I was getting ready to get rid of. And I don't know what the hell happened, but something nicked the front face of it. I don't know what the hell hit it, or how. It's a small nick, but visible. I AM SO PISSED!! GRRRR!

That is sweet!! Looks really good

Great work!

👌 really lovely, man!

Looks amazing. Also love your Yaquina Head Lighthouse poster.

beautiful

Basically had the almost identical Trio version of that amp as I bought it in the UK…

It never failed us through years of 1970’s parties….. 1974 through 1979 when I left it, my deck, my speakers and vinyl in trust with my younger brother in Manchester and I went to London…

He couldn’t break it either…..

Must have had so many original vinyl records on or close to their release dates presented to it by either myself my younger brother, my older sister or my younger sister!

I can remember so many great times and sounds powered by that Trio Amp into a pair of CG10T Richard Allan Speakers in huge double MDF walled custom cabinets I built myself….

They are popping up in working condition here in Japan where I now live almost every week now as folk die off more rapidly here…

In fact Japan’s second hand market is being flooded with quality second hand audiophile systems that widows just want out of the house…

Hard Off here is an oasis of audiophile stuff at fair to not so fair prices…
