Another GC project

Hope I'll get it finished for Christmas.

I was going to call it "Art Sound" but now that it looks like a Christmas tree decoration I'm not sure.

Unfinished back view.

And the front.

Thanks J-P.

Not ready yet. In a few days.

Attention to detail is impeccable. Even the + post is longer than - , so when you connect cables in a dark, you can't make mistake. Very thoughtful.

Praise from you Peter is flattering.

I don't think I'm worthy.

Thanks.
The speakers are Yamaha NS-200.

Highly praised by What HIFI?. I ordered them based on their review and I don't regret at all. I'm really happy with them.
The weather strip you see there improved the focus of the image tremendously. Actually only one 3 inch strip was enough on the inside of the HF speaker (it made dramatic difference). But that's off topic in this forum.

Greg,

Are those Hammond boxes you are using? If so what part #'s??

Do you find that the box alone is good enough as a heatsink? I'm
assuming that you're mounting the chip to the case.

pictures of the guts please!!!

very nicely done - it's nice to see some color in the projects.
great job

Thanks.

The boxes are Hammond 1590C. The guts will go in tommorrow, so I'll give you a better answer in a day or two about the heatsink part.
