First I have to say a big thanks to Nate for organizing another group buy for the diamond buffer PCB's

Here's my second DB build... my first one ended up in a real big mess when I soldered the solder pins upside-down and tried to desolder them. I physically ripped the trace off the board

But I learned the 2nd time and it went much quicker and prettier.

Output resistors = 3.3R

MJE243, and MJE253 ouput transistors

Random tube shot... 12FK6 tubes

Its front piece is plexiglass & the print is printed on thicker artcard with a colour laser printer I have access to.

Really like the case. Where did you get?

 

[Nisbeth]

Looks like a Galaxy Max model with the 10mm faceplate from www.audiokit.it or www.hifi2000.it

(Ferrari, correct me if I am wrong here

)


/U.

@Nisbeth, you are right!
The enclosure is indeed a Hifi-2000 Galaxy Max GX383 with a 10mm aluminum face plate.

Very nice M3, love what you did to encase the PSU, and I'm really digging that volume knob.

Wonderful. I wish we had access to good Chassis here in the states. All it seems we have is Parmetal Hammond and Lansing which I am all so tired of using. Looks like I will be doing some internation chassis shopping

Another manufacturer of beautyful chassis is probably ATI from Thailand.
Due to the high shipping cost (all the way from Thailand), the final price of a chassis could be on the high side.

I use this ATI-738U for my next build, it looks really great in real life

Could you post some mor pictures of the case? Possibly a picture that show the entire case, please

Excuse my ignorance Ferrari - but what is that blue thing?

You got it

@robzy

The blue thing is the MKC filmcaps I use as output caps (C7L/R) for my Millett Hybrid. These MKC output caps are builded up from 30 x 6,8 uF = 204 uF per channel. Totally for 2 (L/R) channel: 60 x 6,8 uF on that separate board (blue thing) beside the MH board. It's a bit huge... but no regret

:O Barvo!

That is really a uber C7(L/R)!

Balanced "CMOY". It used two DRV134 chips to balance a single ended input, then runs them through four large Solen caps, and the rest of the circuit.
