I bought two Par Metal chassis and it seems to be fine. Front Pannel Express says they can just take the rear and front plates and machine them for me for a pretty reasonable (I think) price. I used the designs by AMB, and modified them for my 3-channel configuration. I think my solution has...

OK guys, I've decided to go ahead and buy two enclosures and machine them myself. I was thinking about getting two of these: DIY Enclosures LLC - Products - DIY-0908 Chassis I am having trouble figuring out, however, if the boards will be too big for this enclosure. I'm building the...

Well, I could theoretically buy two of those par-metal series 20 chassis' and then send them off to get machined for me, right? Then all I'd have to do is design the front and rear panels... probably could go with front panel express? Thanks for the help so far guys.

I bought the AMB Beta 22 3-channel active ground kit from GlassJarAudio, as well as the accompanying AMB labs power supply kit (o22?), and am at the point where I need to start worrying about enclosures and other parts not provided by the kit. This is my first serious DIY project, and am now...

Thanks for the response, Pars! Those answers open up a couple of other difficulties for my group. Do you (or anyone else) have any idea exactly what the diodes (D101-D102) are doing in relation to the push-pull transistor circuit? We're seeing only the negative (half) of the audio wave...

Hi guys, I'm taking an electrical engineering class currently, and one of the semester's projects involves building a high-complexity audio device of some sort, either of our own design or through a kit. I see this as an excellent opportunity to build a really high quality headphone amplifier...

You really can't go wrong with Brian Eno's ambient masterpieces. My favorite is Discreet Music, but the "Ambient" series (particularly "Music for Airports") is also quite relaxing and pretty. Personally I study with no music, because I get too distracted, no matter what I'm listening to.
