I got it from http://www.segor.de , part# "001.07.L.SW" (50mm x 160mm x 200mm) for 20 EUR = $26

The case is a little wobbly and not as solid as the Proma cases I usually pick, sufficient for a headamp though. I picked it in the first line for it's ventilated top.

Looking at your case, I think it looks similar to the Hammond 1455T220 series (except the Hammond has a one-piece extrusion for the bottom and sides, and a non-ventilated slide-off top cover). Thus the Hammond would be nice and sturdy, and one could replace the top cover with a perforated metal sheet for ventilation... Just an idea for people who are building the M³ and looking for case alternatives.

The seethrough plastic case for your cmoy is very neat looking as well.

Thanks, I'll go have a look.

Default misc builds

made some dummy loads (33 / 120 / 300 Ohms) for amp breaking in and output voltage measurements. Thought of building a switchable box like tangent but decided to put 2W resistors into jacks since it's cheaper and more flexible this way


I'll need the Y-splitter for A/B-testing my amps


and finally an ioBox
the outer side of the rearpanel is anodized, the inner side is chromated, therefore conductive and acts as a big ground plane.




who said that you cannot use a frontpanel program for rearpanels

That input/output box looks great. I hope to eventually make something similar, but with a stepped attenuator and preamp functionality instead of the crossfeed.

Nice work!
