Nice! Might have reconsidered the power switch, though

What power switch? Thats my "keep company from using my stereo when I'm away" switch.

The on/off switch for the amp board is the one in the front.

Hehe, nice description

You should probably write that on there somewhere

It was the on/off switch on the front I was thinking about. Something like this one would look pretty kickass, or something similar in black.

Ah, thought you were picking on my lockable amp.

I'm happy with it's 240v 20A toggle. It leaves plenty of headroom for the 5v 30ma passing through it

. It also has a nice firm "click" when I flip it.

I do like that push-button switch though. It would look good on another project I'm doing. Can you tell me where you found it?

Found it on ELFA, a Scandinavian electronics shop, so you could probably find something closer to home

APEM is an international brand, with a big US department, so you should find something suitable here: http://www.apem.com/index.html. This one is from their anti-vandal series

Bulgin is another manufacturer of that kind of switches, but it's British, so I don't know if they have any US retailers.

Here's a few pictures of my UcD400 dual-mono, albeit already a year old by now.

Best regards,

Sander,

That amp looks very sharp! You can barely expect a nicer lay-out and more attention to detail from any commercial party, congratulations.

Nice one, Sander!

Would have gone for a slightly messier cable setup, though, to keep the signal cable away from the speaker cables. Dunno how much it will affect a coax-cable, but still.
