Do you use a protection circuit for your SOHA or do you just be real careful with it?

Wow, that is really sweet looking. Reminds me that I have to finish my B22

Do you have any conversion of unbalanced to balanced on the inputs? It looks like there are some boards under the JT but I cant make it out. Also, what brand are the headphone XLRs?

Nothing you haven't seen before, my Pimeta in a cheap enclosure and missing my burned AD8620.

These are some boards I made up to to do the switching, power distro, and mounts for the Joshua Trees.



I am going to make a V3.0 of these and make it for PCB mounted XLR/RCA/Binding posts. Should save a lot of time in wiring. I feel stupid for not doing it originally.

I though about addind unbalanced to balanced conversion but didn't want to make it to complicated from the begging and figured it was really going to be for balanced use with a balanced source. I think for 3.0 I will look into
conversion. I know a Jensen transformer would work well but isn't the cheapest option. I am open for any good suggestions.

As for the front XLRs they are Switchcraft. I wanted a round XLR that didn't have any screws and it fit the bill. I don't think I would use them again because they are expensive and the locking mechanism sucks compared to the Neutriks. They were purchased from Mouser.
