Felt like trying something different (warning: images)
My autoformer passive linestage (built around a pair of autoformers wound by Dave Slagle) was housed in a plain black plastic Radio Shack enclosure. I'd been planning to put that in a better enclosure for a while now. When building an amp recently I considered cigar and wine boxes, but ultimately went with aluminum due to fire/safety concerns. A cigar box seemed like a good choice for a passive linestage though, and that's where this started. My wife saw me looking at cigar boxes on eBay and pulled out this really old box that she had, and that settled it. I decided to keep the old look and as much of the paper as I could. A generous coat of tung oil helped to slightly even out the color of the parts where the paper had torn off recently.
Anyway, here is the result:
The remaining RCA connectors should be in later this week  And I know it's a rat's nest of wires, but that's partly intentional (and partly laziness, I will admit that). I decided that laying out wires side by side or twisting them would not be a good idea.
So... that's what's sitting in my rack today.
Just thought I'd share
