Here's my take

Fugly!

 

[Gianluca]

Can we get a Balanced Chassis face plate with a Single volume control hole (rather than two as show below). And further, can the single volume control
hole be center aligned to the label text above it - so that it basically has the same visual appearance as the SE Chassis? I think this would be a tiny CAD file change. Are others interesting? I intend to use a single rotary encoder that will feed either MUSES or ladder attenuator.

What sort of output drive capability does this Iron Pre have? I have all balanced, transformer input tube amps. My Lynn Olson Amity Clone's are tough to drive because the reflected miller capacitance of the driver tubes grids appear at the input transformer. I think it's equiv to 600pF. LOL!

That's definitely doable, feel free to send me a PM so we can discuss about this

my apologies. Honestly, had no intention of solicitation.

I am returning back here after many years and am not up to date with the most current decorums.

Let me see if my ZMengrish is up to the translation task for you Vinay....

just send it to OPLDF

crusher's ready

means....

"I find your product to be highly desirable, and I would like to have it if you don't want it. You have a 'gem' there."

I apologize in advance if I screwed up that translation. I barely can understand ZMengrish at times.

Got the goods in yesterday and for some reason, I was driven to totally stuff the board! Absolutely no trouble, (but this is my 3rd kit, so there is that) even though all 3 of the kits that I have been involved with are different versions. just a little of me is tempted to make a wooden enclosure, but let me think on that for awhile.

 

[Zen Mod]

Iron Pre is boring and too easy

 

[Ixnay]

Maybe, so we can raise the stakes by carving the chassis from a block of granite. Last one to finish is the loser. Hey, that is a great name for the new project>> noise loser

 

[Zen Mod]

just pour one from concrete

 

[Ixnay]

Get out of my head! just so there is proof, one photo is just step towards spending more money. Hey wait, could cardboard work for a chassis?

 

[Zen Mod]

that's the Spirit!

yeah!

J1?

 

[Awh]

Looks like C18 is reversed.

I would agree that C18 is reversed except that you are wrong. This can be best confirmed by going to the Project page at DIY store and enlarging the image of the circuit board. It caught my attention too!

No about 'J1'. I have fixed it today. Nice high quality jumper with dark purple insulation. I know, a little dressy, but I got excited.

Glad that there are those who are sharing observations. Thanks. I have made my own trouble before and really don't need any.

Oh yah, what about Cx, Rx on the power input. Seems that it was arbitrary. I forget.
