Hi John,
I see nothing wrong with those. It is easier to make round holes that slots in anyway. I sanction your switches. Could you give us clues where you got them.

Like 'em. Look like a sex aid for robots!
Nico, I designed a preamp with a microprocessor for button control. It has been a service nightmare, I still break out in a cold sweat thinking about it. Not for the faint hearted.......

Although these cases are relatively expensive, they are very nice. The manfucaturers are OKW in Germany.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
I have done this once for a guy who wanted a pre-amp and that was to make the faceplate using a gold plated PCB and etch the decals on it. With surface mount LEDs on the back of the PCB shining through the PCB thereby illuminating the decals when power is turned on. It was a little over the top I guess but looked really very nice with charcoal spun aluminium knobs and it cost the price of a PCB.
In fact I used the box shown above - it looked like a million bucks

Hello Nico
The the height width ratio are different than for the case suggested by Hugh, are this new face is for the OKW manufaturers cases ?
Thank
Bye

Nico,
I agree it's a nice case, but it's expensive, it's not a generic solution, and for almost all comers here it would be an imported item!!
Why not use an Eddystone or Hammond diecase enclosure? They can be painted, and will look very elegant if finished nicely! If you want to go expensive, how about the RS/Farnell catalogues? Of course, if the German enclosure is readily available, my concern is maybe unfounded, but what do they cost?
Your photos don't seem to expand out when you double click them. Are you putting them in as jpegs, gifs, or pngs as a attachment?
I certainly appreciate your drive to get on with it.

Nah, don't like it KT, has a tacky feel to it, and you always have to reset your favorite level position......

Hi Hugh !
I have measured your Paris Head Amp.
If you are interested see my thread "MPP" under "Analog Line Level"

Thanks Joachim,
Very impressive results... I'm sure you know why!
I have responded in the thread, in fact.

Hugh, I would need the exact dimensions and PCB mounting points or better still a drawing of this die-cast box. Where can I find it?
Hi Keantoken,
I think this goes without saying, because one would want to leave the headphone amp connected at all times and not having to rip all your neatly tied patch-cords out of the system each time that you want to listen to headphone.
Would you be happy with just a resistive split or would you insist on a buffer.
Nico
What about cross-feed, would you want to have the bass and treble controls in circuit as well, then it bocomes a control amp not a line out point. But what ever the need be.
Then it will work for you except it will give you some gain into your power amp. I have not seen the final circuit but I guess there will be about 10 dB (maybe more). I will see if I can lay the board in such a way that it would be simple to by-pass the tone controls with a set if links maybe.
All I am waiting for now is the bill of materials so that I can create the library parts that the guys want to use.
Kind regards
Nico

In for a penny...
If it is to have line out, why not include a (dreadful) opamp buffer and it becomes one of those high fashion, ultra expensive "impedance matching" gizmos?
