SOme kinda oldies... not particularly impressive versus others in this thread, but my first builds.

Yet another MINT in a Hammond, this one is powered by a +/- 12V Elpac, and has additional filter caps mounted on a RatShack protoboard, along with a couple of 1n4002 diodes. All power connections are connectorized. Amp is housed in a J1201 1455 Hammond case (this size is only available from Allied).

Rear view, showing DIN connector for Elpac, mini and RCA inputs



Inside, showing MINT board and additional cap board. 470uf Cerafines on MINT board, 2x1000uf Nichicon Muse KZ per rail. Connectors are HRS DF1B series from Digikey, allowing both inline and board header connections from the same connector series.

Amp uses BC resistors, Panasonic coupling caps, and is CRD-biased. 221 ohm R11s for the BW resistor.



This shows a CMoy built per Tangent's tutorial on the left. It has been converted to an Apheared A47, and uses a Sijosae discrete rail splitter. Amp on the right is the MINT that my son built.

Here's a few pics of my CMOY and META42. I'll post PPA pics in a couple of weeks when it's done.

Basic Tangent style CMOY:

Now THAT is some serious DIY'ing.
Love those headphones. C3PO needs a pair.

Used a 3-AA battery compartment because 3 1.5v alkaline battery makes up 4.5V, just right for me 5V MuVo. No soldering, just lots and lots of taping.

Smaller form factor than its 4-AA cousin. The DC plug(which I ripped from a car cigarette lighter adapter) has interchangable plugs, which can be used with other appliances as well.

Here's my Pimeta:






I plan to upgrade it with OPA627 soon.

Here's my latest PPA. Switchable between XLR and RCA inputs (with a balanced to single ended opamp-based converter circuit inside) and RCA passthrough. Adjustable/defeatable bass boost.

MaxW--
Dude, where did you get a chromed Hammond? Plated it yourself? And I like the clear front panel--what did you use for it?

Unusual, and nice, case. Make/model?
