Everyone knows a proper pumpkin is supported only by Corinthian marble pillars. Warmed at their bases by Beasts of a Thousand J(ulius)FETs.
That's pretty fancy... but... If you're creative, you can even do an external power supply!

^ @mvaldes Nooooooooooooooo! I see why you may say that. Until you come home one day to be greeted by...
"Sweetie, lovey, honey, baby! I support your audio hobby. LOOK! I just bought you 5 new chassis for your projects!"
I recommend an old steel-toed boot box or the previously mentioned Buster Brown boxes.
Edited to add - And of course... cigar boxes... or a really nice single-malt box.

And the possibilities are endless.
Next thing you know we'll be comparing the 'sound' of different boxes. (Will NB boxes give a more balanced presentation than Asics? OK...I'll go back into hiding now... 🙂 )

^ I found the build pictured above provided an "airy" presentation...
I'll show myself out...

Hi guys, I did it!
It seems to work good and it's really quite. I heard it in my test audio chain. Just one thing: even if I setted the gain at 12dB, it doesn't push my power amp like B1 Nutube. I used a 50kohm volume pot. Could this be the reason?
Thank you and regards,
Gaetano.

Glad you got it going. The B1 drives my system pretty hard, so I guess that it is a matter of matching. What would it be like with a different amp? Just curious.
I don't think that the pot has that effect on volume though.
I like that you added an AC power filter. I will probably do the same.

Doubled Heatsinks on M3 I see.
Let it be known on image I placed earlier. my amps all need to run at 111 degrees F. ambient.

Well, they say that I am a little 'touched'. So there have been times that OCD kicks in and I think that I need to make everything everywhere be damped. Nothing is excluded with this thinking. So, sigh, I bent to it and put putty in places, and even glued down components! It won't make any difference either way, and inside deep down I know it, but I feel better.
With some tube projects it is actually real, like in the Korg SP1 tube, and the 3S4 tube as well. so that is easier to justify.
FWIW, I am going ahead with the build even before I get a decent chassis and make music like you guys said. That makes good sense. Got the voltages to be good, well 13.5v (is that about right? I was lazy and look it up), and 0.0 dc offset. Hooked up a 20k volume pot and kinda sorta remade the poor Elma switch and board work just to see if LED would work with it. It did, and tomm, I will add input and output jacks,,, o h boy.
