@Spacehead: May I ask where you got the plastic case from? It looks very much like the Voyager's case.

It is Hammond 1593X-MU , Got it from electronics store.
Not so much a build as it is a mod.
A local member here had me repair (stuff 'sploded) and mod his Melos Gold.
The mods:
-> Replace the photenti-crap-ometer with a DACT ct2 stepped attenuator and a ct3 source selector.
-> Replace the crappy loose rca jacks with good quality Connex "WBT Style" teflon isolated jacks.
-> Isolated the board and added a proper ground-loop breaker.
-> Replaced the input caps with Mundorf Silver-in-oil and wired them directly to where they need to be on the board (vs a random walk like the left channel does).
-> Replaced the inter-stage and to-ground caps with Jantzen Superior-Z's.
-> Replaced the final cap after the regulator section on the HV supply with a 100uf Solen.
-> Replaced the HV and LV bridge rectifiers with FREDs.
-> Did the left channel mod (reroutes the left channel interstage path over the top of the board instead of paralleling the HV power line).
-> Rewired the whole thing with Cryoparts TWCu and Neotech Teflon solid cored copper (for people who care about these things hehe).
