Nice conectors wonder who sells them in canada.. as i would like to use them for my blue amps rail voltage on my blue amps are like 40v and about 2amps or less.. : O )

Here is my progess so far. I made a very basic psu board that will hold 4x 10000uf 50v capacitors and possibly have some type of ac filter on the same board. I will replace those stand offs with plastic type of do the board all over if I have to .

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Two wide middle traces will connect two transformers with the rear ac jack/fuse holder that I still need to order. Speaker output ground is also attached to that board.

Here is overall view, wiring isn't done yet.

Well, it's finally running and playing music ! Thank you BrianGT for psu boards they fit great !

Top plate just needs to be painted and a new rear panel with a different EIC jack with a built in switch fuse is all that's left.

any reason for the changed layout?

looks much cleaner, and i am sure the smaller PSU boards helped

just wondering...

You did remember the fuse and power switch, right? The fuse is a REQUIREMENT for me; I have seen (and had to fix) too many things that melted b/c inadequate fusing (or that aluminum foil fuse).

And indeed, insulating the mains connectors on the back of the IEC.

Yeah, a different fused IEC block will be going in shortly

Very very nice looking case!

BTW, how much did the case (metal+heatsinks) cost?
