Most of the parts are available from Farnell,RS and Audiocominternational, theres also Silmic caps on E-bay.
The thing thats hard to find in the UK is the actual tubes

Got mine working yesterday night. Sounds OK now, but badly needs burn-in. My pot is still to arrive so I have rigged an el-cheapo taiwan alpha for now. Obviously the case work will not be complete till the pot is taken care of.

I was just fooling around in the shop trying to think of a good chassis solution for my Millet Hybrid. It's not done yet. It's just a fully dressed chassis with no board inside. I tried to add some carbon fiber to the mix, but it just looked awkward. I'm never satisfied. Maybe I should start looking in to aluminum? Anybody have any constructive criticism?

I'd just leave it be USER NAME: ; that case looks sweet.

I like wood cases; I don't think carbon fiber would go with it tho IMHO.

Very Nice! I've got some purpleheart coming to build my chassis out of. Thinking about putting maple or osage accents on the corners.

Did you make the rod guards, also?

Thanks guys. It's starting to grow on me. I have to make one for my SEPP Millet now.

The metal rods are drawer pulls from Home Depot. They have many different styles of these.

Is it really important to have a matched tubes?

I've completed everything via DREWD's instructions. However, when I plugged in the wallwart and connected to the female dc jack nothing powered up.

I checked to see if indeed there was power coming into the female jack by using a pair of electicians testers and there was a spark on the + terminal and then nothing.

I unplugged it and did it again but nothing. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
