Great job, I always love your work, but you forgot the blue tape...
BTW, I didn't see any store bought phono stage in your post...

 

[nikongod]

I have 2 old Radio Shack phono stages, and 1 DIY phono stage. 
 
The DIY is based on a combination of the "front end" of the phonoclone - an inverting opamp to provide a very low input impedance and a boatload of gain, combined with an opamp passive-RIAA phono stage (single stage RIAA, NOT split RIAA). The thing is quite nice, but a bit noisy.

After many months, I finally had the time to finish up my CK2III-Gamma2 build.  The Gamma2 is power by the o24 power supply.  A Lorlin rotary switch allows for selection between two sets of RCA inputs and the Gamma2.  Both units are packaged up in a Hifi2000 case.
 
Next up, finish my balanced EHHA/o22 dual chassis build...
 
Now a few pictures:

Wow Greg! That is a beautiful piece of kit. Great planning, it really shows!

 

[Horio]

Thanks John.
 
It was kind of the "learning build" for what I was planning to do with my EHHA build.  Few things worked well, and a few things I'm going to do differently.  All around, I'm pleased with how it turned out!  Sounds great too.

wow super jealous of this thing! I want to build one now.

Here are a few long overdue pictures of my β24 amplifier. I am currently feeding it with my Buffalo32S DAC into a pair of BG Z-1 bookshelf speakers. It sounds absolutely fantastic. It has taken every speaker load I have thrown at it without a hiccup. I am looking forward to many, many years of enjoyment out of this amplifier.



I swear the wire management doesn't look this bad in person...

Mission completed.

Ferrari, I know it has been said before, but your builds are among the most beautiful I have ever seen, on the inside and the out. Not to mention, the volume control on that amp is totally badass. Bravo!

 

[winzzz]

^ x2...your built are so damn nice..what chasis is that ?

[size=x-small]Thanks gents![/size]
 
[size=x-small]The chassis is my own design and made by Schaeffer AG Germany (FPE in Europe).[/size]
[size=x-small]I wanted some thing flat and also has the dimensions I need (300mm x 300mm x 36mm internal).[/size]
[size=x-small]It made from aluminum with some stiffener inside, also serves as heatsink for the current regulators (CCS).[/size]
 
[size=x-small]There are some well-known manufactures in Europe with nice chassis/enclosures but [/size]
[size=x-small]just not the dimensions I have in mind (too small or too wide…).[/size]

Pro work - as we've come to expect from you Ferrari!
I'm actually thinking of going through the thread to save the pics of all the builds you've posted...

 

[Pageygeeza]

Ferrari: Those front tubes?  Are they VU meters?  Remember seeing something like that before.

 

[TheShaman]

Must be the same that Dared use on some of their desktop amps.

Beautiful Ferrari!
