Amplifier Chassis's

jleaman · 23rd September 2009, 05:32 AM

Does any one know, in canada or closer to Canada who sells decent cnc / good chassis ? I like the ones from aussie amplifiers but 6-700$ for 2 is a little out of my reach for this, and i'm pretty sure they wouldn't make it to well here in Canada through shipping damages.

? ideas ?

Those guys do rack mount and console enclosures...I've never used them, but they seem to get good reviews.

He also sells nice stuff (including different amp chassis) on eBay.

Beware of par-metal. I've ordered a chassis from them that is yet to arrive. But don't even get into ordering a custom chassis with them. The customer service is horrible. Horrible.

Just order one from their line up and you should be fine.

Tip: I ordered one of the rack mount ones without the front face and handles. Along with a 200 VA transformer (par-metal is also Antek), it came to $108 with shipping. Neat deal. Now I'll go to frontpanel express for a custom face plate.

AnTek is one of us diyAudioites, isn't he?

RP Electronics in Burnaby, BC carries some stuff fair inexpensive:

I've delt with them many times NEVER had a problem, ordered like 15 transformers too, never had a problem.

I don't know whom you dealt with. I spoke to John. He was completely unresponsive over the phone and he never replied to my emails (and there were several). I finally figured that I should make all the 'custom' changes myself and ordered one of their available chassis. The lady I spoke to was great though. She took my order processed it and now its on the way.
