I used a piece of the teflon sheet Tangent sells for use between a PPA and the matching battery board. I imagine a folded piece of paper will work just as well

Certainly not your usual MINT

Most beauteous. You could call it the Landau Amp.

That is one sweet amp!

tpg just put strips of electrical tape on the bottom of my enclosure. Works fine so far.

Yeah, that works fine, just cover the bottom with electrical tape.

That's very cool. Nice hole!

Is the covering plexi/perspex or glass? Also, which Wimas are you using on the MINT? Nice work Uffe.

Last- I have some nice Rean soft-touch knobs in that size that are collet-mount (no setscrews), plus they have a nice little recessed apron that covers much of the pot's nut. I can mail you one if you like, gratis. It would fit nicely.

Second the soft-touch knobs. I used one on a comission amp recently, and it looks really nice, and covers the mounting nut on the EVJ nicely.

Voodoochile, those WIMAs look like MKS-4's to me, metallised polyester

Thanks, Mark

The covering is made from PU (the same material I've used for the other transparent covers I've made). What the pictures don't show is that I should have been a little more careful with the glue (two component Araldite) because I managed to get some on the plastic and it stains it

Using glass would probably be a better idea and glass doesn't scratch either.
EDIT: Guzzler's right about the caps. They are 1.0 uF MKS-4s. They're probably not the best choice for audio but I like the way they look

How can I say no to that? YGPM!
