Roland Rock Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Glockenklang are about to announce a new product. They are teasing us by revealing one letter per day on FB. So far we have: [IMG] http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/rackbags/FB_IMG_1481054942623_zpslsq65w6x.jpg" class="ipsImage" /> Anyone know about this new Steamhammer/hog/house/hacker?

Roland Rock Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 [quote name='stevie' timestamp='1481057970' post='3189420'] They are revealing one letter a day on Facebook? They must think their customers haven't got a life. [/quote] Hah. I don't see many people actively going to their FB page to find out the next letter, rather it will pop up on the normal time line of subscribers (anyone who has 'liked' Glockenklang) on FB. It's a bit different to the average product launch in its creativity, so gets a thumbs up from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 I think they are branching out into cooking appliances: [IMG] http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/gg580/christopher_brown14/rackbags/FB_IMG_1481202163551_zpsvjcx5w1e.jpg[/IMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conan Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Having just been bought out my Matteson's, my guess is Steamhammmmmmmm. So the daily reveal could take a while... Edited December 8, 2016 by Conan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wateroftyne Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Presumably it's not going to be Steamhammer...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Yeah, a bit awkwardly close to Tonehammer. Steamhamster would be awsome Edited December 8, 2016 by Roland Rock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@23 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 I'm guessing it'll be something hefty as it doesn't seem likely they will go lighter than the Blue series, if it is an amp...?! Maybe it's a pre? That'd be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) Maybe they're going into the Turkish baths business with their new product, the Steamhammam? Or perhaps it's a kind of portable bain marie, the Steamhamper! Edited December 8, 2016 by Beer of the Bass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roland Rock Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) The Steamhammer it is!

M@23 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Quite surprised, 3.5kg doesn't sound like an ICE equipped micro though. Keen to see what power amp/preamp it uses. Same power as the Blue Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chienmortbb Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 That spec sounds like the ICEPoweer ASC 700 module is used. To get the most out of any Class D amp you need god heat management, that means weight. 3.5KG sounds like they have done it properly.

Dan Dare Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yep. Gotta be an Icepower 700ASC. Everyone - MESA, Genzler, Aguilar, etc - uses ICE modules. Bloody Bang & Olufsen won't sell them to end users, only to OEM manufacturers. A piece of p*ss to build into an amp - make 8 connections and mount the module in a hobby/project case (£40 on eBay), add a decent pre-amp and bingo. But no, us punters have to pay £700 plus to one of the afore-mentioned for the privilege. Hi-fi world is even worse. Plenty of manufacturers put B&O modules in a pretty case, add a few connectors and a pretty blue LED and sell them for thousands. It's rip off city.

Providing tech support to one off builders is a potential nightmare, and the liability and regulatory issues are far from trivial. I'd suggest that you vote with your wallet and just buy from Hypex, who have always supported DIY'ers. Or figure out how to write up a sufficiently real looking business prospectus, which worked for me.

M@23 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I've fired them a message to ask a couple of questions. It's not what I was expecting. One thing is for sure, it will be great. They wouldn't release a product to simply fill a gap in the market and if they didn't believe that it delivered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
