Default Source selector box

In my ever growing effort to get crap done before the national meet I decided that I'd build a switch box tonight so that my one, decent, source could feed the three amps that I want to feed with it. Total build time was between 2 and 3 hours, I stopped several times to eat, drink and be merry. The results - a switch box with a single input and three outputs controlled by a rotary switch which points to each output as it cycles through them.









Tested it tonight briefly and it works like a charm!

Nate

Pretty sweet Nate! I'm assuming the three amps are a PPAv2, Millet (not sure which one though), and an M3?

Thanks man, the list of amps is somewhat TBD but it'll definitely be my PPA (still in the pinebox ), Ian's Millett (in its real, final, non-$2-xxxxx case ) and probably the little Millett I posted pictures of a few days ago (see here). I may drag along a few other things, I may not, depends on how hard it is to find stuff after it's packed!

Well, the drive towards the national meet continued last night. Up to bat this time was my Monica 2 DAC which needed a more permanent home than the oversized mint tin that she was currently residing in. Since post #954 she's had a bit of work done to her, primarily the addition of a second regulated power supply so that analog and digital pieces get their own clean power. The results:
Front (power switch, signal lock led, power led)


Back (analog out, digital in, DC in(s)


Internal Wiring

Nice looking amps, Nate. I see you have a D70. When did you get it? Your images have improved with that camera (nice body).

Regards,
Neil

I've had the D70 for about 2 years now so I guess previously I was just a crappy photographer . Seriously though, some times I take the time to take decent shots of gear, other times I'm spent cause it's usually midnight when I finish projects, still need to clean up and I'm too lazy to setup the tripod and what limited lighting I have in the attic. Give me a month, when I finally get my real "shop" setup and I'll finally post decent gear images.

Nate
