Very intresting, minus your time to build it, how much has your pre amp cost to build? and have you any pics?

Default Pics and cost

I've got about $65 into it not including the charger. The Alps stepped attenuator was the most expensive at $25, with the batteries second at $24 with shipping, and all other parts in the $1-2 range each.

Attached are a couple pics - not much to look at, but sure does the trick.

I remember Crimson Electrick did a commercial preamp for domestic use that was powered via internal nicads in the early 80,s and very nice it was to!
