That's the only thing I am afraid about, the switch contacts. My last rotary switch I bought from ebay fails from time to time. In some positions, you only have sound in one channel, you have to move it a bit to have a good engadgement.
But is not really a concern, it happens only once for every 20 or 30 times I move the switch. And for the price, you can't beat it. An stereo 23 steps switch for 10$, shipping included. I have mine mounted with Dale's and sound wonderful.
dantwomey, I really like your approach. But as you don't need the pots to be good ones, you can use some cheapers. I may do something as you if I is possible to find cheaper motor controlled pots.

Yes, so far giving our buffer some sort of remote control is just an idea. When the time comes to do it I'll post here for the most cost effective way to achieve that goal.

Here is remote control for Alps;
eBay.ie: IR CONTROL REMOTE SET f ALPS motorized potentiometer (item 350264537471 end time 11-Apr-10 07:04:44 BST)
Not cheap, available with input relay control too, for 100 euro.

Thanks Salas, it's positive rail. You can see on the pic.
Sound is really great. I'll add some P3 coolers next to run at higher current.
At the moment it has it's place and I'm sure I would miss the bug much
if it runs away
Here two pics, with LSQR2 from analog-forum.

Nice build. Congratulations. In what system you test?
Can someone send me the schematic for the auxiliary circuit portion of the Mesmerize? I mean the time delayed Mute relay and input selection relays portion of the PCB.
Thanks in advance.

I own two pairs of these speakers, but got them for a good price.
One pair is modified.
I used them with a SAC epsilon / 2 x NAD 218 bridged.
But thsi system was only loud. The SAC is very good. The NAD are on sale next.
The SE EL509 has much more bass (maybe a little too much) than F5
but without loosing the detailed highs of a tube.
Only cause of my cats I using F5 more at the moment.

Its a really nice combo! But at firts, I will prefer to go with the DIY approach, is the funnier one
You have a nice integrated built up there. As I can see, is that a remotely controlled relays switcher? Seems to sound really clean. Just try the bypass film cap mod and changing the resistor to up the CCS don't forget to make it at least 5W if you do that.Thanks Salas, it's positive rail. You can see on the pic.

Yes, I prefer DIY too, and maybe for less than 100 euro...
