Getting the DIYer blues again.

I'm just a schmuck with a soldering iron... I'm wasting my time... I should stop building crap and start buying beautiful made audio gear...

The layout of that preamp brought tears to my eyes.

Damn! That's nice. The chassis is a little over-designed for my taste, but I do admire the metalwork it took to get there.

No wood? Awe, forget it!

I keep wanting to flip it over. I don't like it.

Kinda looks like a flat-top deck. We can make a little wood hull for it, add the tower on top and a few little planes...

Cheers!

Maybe we could countersink it into that butcher block it's sitting on...

More things to ponder...

I like that a lot better.

I'd like to see the front of the last amp. From the top view it doesn't look like you can see the tubes from the front, which, defeats the purpose of the open chassis design IMO.
