Default Blue BOSOZ

This is a first of a series of pics of a BOSOZ. As You see, power supply is in a distinct box.

Internally the power supply is divided in two areas. This one show the regulators side.

...this is the underside. A 3mm panel divides the two areas.
The small circuit on the upper right is a small soft-start (or inrush protection). Another thread gives more details and a link.
Amplifier and speaker protection circuits

The power supply is dual-mono, each one using two ransformers, two diode bridges for each channel; this arrangement is detailed in the original BOSOZ article by NP. Total cap bank for both channels is slightly over 22.000uf.

Connection between power and preamp is through a 6 pins
byonet connector, a very costly item by itself.

This is the preamp front, from left to right: input selector, volume,
recording selector, output selector. The output selector lets the
signal out either on balanced connectors, unbalanced,
and (also unbalanced) to three serie of RCA, for high-mid-bass
multiamplification. Inside there is a daughter bord (see later) that
can host a passive crossover.

The chassis of the preamp (and the power supply too) is a sandwich of 3mm aluminium and 6mm plexiglass. The underside of the plexiglass is blu-violet metallized paint. I liked the contrast of the mahogany sides and blue.

Roberto,

I think you may have just taken top honours for chassis for a
BoSoZ..... very very nice. Looks like the race is on !!!!!

And a detail of it. The pins connects to passive crossover boards you build aside and then plug in. Depending of what you put on them (components height) you may stack two of them. If you need just a 2way crossover, simply don't use those pins.
