I ordered the resistors from newark and mouser. I don't remember which resistances I ordered from which distributor so I left them blank.

That is like the best built amp I've ever seen.

Nice stuff !

Nice META! Are your power wires from the DC Jack twisted with the audio input wires? Might want to keep those separate.

Also, you can get a black paint pen at a crafts store and paint over the heads of the screws on the headphone jack and it'll look a bit nicer.

Great work though!

I see its a clone of zthtam's META42...I like it.

 

[dokebi]

Very nice.

 

[Maxvla]

looks great!

what size is that case? i like the case design. someone else used one but it was pretty large. yours looks more along the lines i would want.

very professional looking with the all black motif.

i could only hope mine looks half as well done. (circuitry, etc)

 

[antness]

The case looks to be about 3x5x2

If anyone's wondering, the part #s for the Vishay resistors, at Mouser, are like this:

71-RN60D-F-VALUE

i.e. 71-RN60D-F-1.0K
71-RN60D-F-1M

Thanks for the comments everyone!!

4.72"x3.07"x1.69" (LxWxH)
The chassis is a perfect match for the Meta42 board. It's width is just wide enough to let the Meta42 board slide right in to the grooves. The only thing I dislike about the enclosure is that the pot and jack have to be mounted offboard because the Neutrik jack is too long and interfers with C2-.

Was it difficult working with the aluminum case?

 

[HighwayStar]

Very nice ! That's one sharp looking amp. Enjoy !

 

[pocomo]

Fantastic looking amp, nice work.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be asking this

, but what was your total parts cost?

It's not that hard if you have a dremel and the right bits. Initially, I had a difficult time centering the 2 RCA jacks. The Left input jack as you might see, is too close to the on/off switch and a tiny bit higher than the right jack. But after that it wasn't that difficult to do the rest.

I kind of lost count after $200

. Shipping is what really raised the price a lot especially if you forget to order some parts (like I did

).

Hey I don't think anyone has asked the REALLY important question, how does it sound??
