Thank you! Yeah, it's only heatshrink, but I'm a bit paranoid of any damage to the wire insulation especially at wall voltage. Probably unnecessarily so.
Did pretty much the same for the heatsink I made.... Normal tungsten wood blade with 12mm ali plate, generated a lot of heat!

I can cut those in 5 minutes and have no heat marks and have them smother then a babies bottom
Awesome preamp... I had the model below it, and then upgraded to the DR6...I wish I still had it!I wish it was a DIY creation but it's a Classe Five preamplifier - pretty rare - 1990s version of their old 1980s DR-5. It has all the bells and whistles I need, including a MC head amp, a set of XLR in and out, along with a very heavy remote control.
A new BA-3 gets born
This is my first post in the diyaudio-forum. I will send a welcome to all you enthusiasts out there in this world! (perhaps I forgot a few ones on another planet? - also welcome!) I have built a lot of stuff the last 3 years. I was reading hundreds (if not a few thousands) of pages in this forum. I`ve learned and experienced so much! Thanks to Nelson Pass and his designs he offers to us! Thanks to all you experienced members giving such a lot of good advice (Wayne Colburn, ZenMod, 6L6, and all the others). Now I thought, that I should give something back. I can`t send you all a good bottle of red wine and nice rare JFets, MosFETs, VFets,.... But I will start with a few photos from my present projects. I have started to build my second BA-3 poweramp. The first one is awsome!

My all in one Preamp
I am not new to the forum, but may my cat eat the login details of my old account so I build up a new one.
Since 3 years I was working on my pre-amp and now the first tone comes out of it.
It is a mixture of the XS-Preamp, Pearl2 and additional OPAMP based outputs for my Sub amplifier.
The 2 modules right at the middle are Pearl2s.
Still missing are the DC coupled UGS modules, but the connectors are already in place.
Up to know it was and is a long journey but absolutely worth to go.
Sound is great, very neutral, wide and detailed.

Great!
What does the display show when preamp is on?
Also can you show us the back of the pre and the PSU?
You know, we all like to borrow ideas.
