Alexotos VOD summary:
NearLucid Short Overview:
Here is a soundtest of the second version in aluminum with 6 plates for comparison:
Here is a soundtest of the first prototype:
Introduction
We originally designed the January to test some aesthetic choices, most notably the gentle side sweep (inspired by the Dalco 959 Mini) with a rounded front and back, for another board we were working on. After producing some renders and ordering a prototype, we noticed that there was considerable interest in our server and we wanted to officially gauge interest.
Design
We’ve become fans of o-ring mounted boards as of late, most notably the Bakeneko, Tenshi, and Moontower. As with most o-ring mounted boards, the January is compatible with a variety of o-rings and the H60 PCB.
Pricing
Base Kit: $270 will include:

• January Case (frosted pc or anodized aluminum)

• Copper Weight

• Aluminum Plate

• O-Ring

• Screws
  Please note that the base kit will not include a pcb but January compatible pcbs will be sold separately. For those of you wondering why we decided to exclude the pcb from the base kit, the decision came down to the availability of aftermarket pcbs and other O-ring builds. The January is compatible with the H60 pcb and we feel that there are enough people with spare pcbs or O-ring mount builds to justify leaving the pcb out of the base kit. This allows us to provide the January at a lower price to those who have compatible pcbs while also providing January compatible pcbs (as extra add ons) to those who don’t have one. The pcb price is TBD.
