No mistake....... I figured since I was sending you a parcel I may as well throw in something extra.

Yeah, that's why I'm leaning towards the Alps. Even the smallest toggle switch I find rather ugly. I'm now going for a complete black look - all black case and bezel, I'll use snap in stereo mini jacks with a black plastic bushing on the outside. A black knob on the pot, and now I don't have that ugly silver toggle switch! I was originally going to use a mini rocker or mini slide switch, but for the life of me I could not find one on Mouser. I have some lying around, but they're all old and beat up. I used to have this one that was like, less than half a centimeter in length and a few mm thick. Even had panel mounting holes. Couldn't find a new one that size.

Oh well, the Alps is a much more elegant solution in my opinion. I'll be leaving the amp on most of the time so volume won't be an issue. And yes, I will most certainly post pics when I'm done!

Do you have to have a on/off switch, wouldn't it be easier to have volume knob that clicks (found on some computer speakers) to turn the amp on?

That's what the RK097 does

Whoa thread revival!

Yes, the RK097 has a built in SPST switch, which is nice. Doesn't matter though, I ended up building a Millet Hybrid, and I'm sure glad I spent the extra $100 on it, it's fantastic!

All those amps look awesome. Would anyone build one for hire?
