hi,
i have on the works a pre-amp using acrylic as chassis. the acrylic is 1/4" and i visualize would look nice, hopefully.
my amp project on acrylic is also on the way, this time i use 1/2" acrylic but there will be 2mm aluminum for grounding and heatsink.
obviously, i did not answer your question
peter daniel is the acrylic guru in this forum, but he's into solid state amps.

hmm a pre amp would look good. what ill do is buy a small piece
and set it up with a tube see if it gets soft. my trio amp case started to fall apart and shorted the amp so im making a new one
just wondering if it will hold all this. or maybe i should go with aluminum not sure
see pic->
the last owner must have dropped the amp the case was in bad shape

It takes a lot of heat to soften acrylic - more than provided by valves. However, I'd be prepared to bet that in the long term it would make it go brittle. More to the point, I would be very uneasy about attempting to build a hum-free valve pre-amplifier in an unscreened case. Stick with aluminium until you really know what you're doing.
