USAFA: Audigy 4 (roommate's computer) ---> DIY GB-150D-based integrated amp (stereo configuration, remote-controlled, power-on delay for output, and heavily class-A biased (3.9mA/channel) LM4562NAs used in preamp section) ---> Yamaha NS-527 (modified with Vifa 6 1/2" woofers, Panasonic film caps in crossover, and heftier internal wiring)
Ghey-C'97 (my piece-o-crap issued laptop) ---> PPAv2 (class-A biased AD8620 (2.5mA/channel), 8600uF pre-regulator, LM338 high-current regulator, 40mA/channel output bias) ---> Grado SR-225 (yes, I bring my headphones home from the Academy during leave)
forgot to mention that irl it looks way better than on pics
yep it's a little overkill for a cmoy but i like nice looking things in my hi-fi rack and i'm not so big headphone lover i dont use them much, i like more listening music from my t-line speakers and the cmoy works perfectly for my needs, and it was fun making that case
Well, the last of the Millett's that I started building nearly a year ago is finally to the point where I can post a picture. Long story short I built a Millett for each member of my wedding party as a gift. The owner of this amp decided that he wanted to tweak it a bit from the base configuration , shocking seeing as he's a member of these forums.
Specs: Modified Millett Hybrid using all hand matched resistors, VD for non-signal path locations, Kiwame's for the output. All Elna SilmicII and Cerafine caps, Alps 50K pot, Cardas GRFA jacks, diamond buffers, STEPS power supply, etc, etc. The real "tweak" is that it's housed in a one-off custom wooden case that my dad and I built. I still have just a little bit of work to do on it but gave it to Ian last night so that he could enjoy it for a while.
Looking decent
Internals, wiring needs to be neater and slight ground hum addressed

I'll upload a few more pictures tonight of the internals.

yeah, it looks way to good to just be a cmoy. are you going to put a finish on the wood or just leave it bare?
