The basics on the boards....
The hypnotize is a 1 input/1 output Shunt regulated Direct Coupled Pass like B1 buffer. It has a relay delayed startup to avoid DC problems for the amps. This board (and even Mez) can be used just as a shunt power supply, and their is a thread for this also.
The Mesmerize can use up to 6 muting relay inputs, and is a larger board. All others matters being equal.
Attached is a semi-built DCB1 mesmerize. Also the main schematics of the device, in case you need to troubleshoot. The below shot is a bare Hynotize PCB.
