It's Clio Pocket. I think I will put a few words about it in the dedicated thread.
I have worked a lot with WtPro of Smith & Larson and then with Arta, Clio diagrams are nicer.
Here are the diagrams. Level full scale at +/- 1 dB
07. level with tone control flat, off and on, right channel
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
tone control, off -> red
tone control, on -> green
08. level with tone control flat, off and on, left channel
¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨¨
tone control, off -> red
tone control, on -> green

The maximum THD quoted by Douglas Self for this preamp using anAudio Precision analyzer is less than 0.0005% for 9 Vrms ouput in the audio band.
The -3 dB frequency response that I checked with a sine wave generator and a scope extends from 1.6 Hz to 160 kHz.
Front panel
Well, if anyone is still following this thread, I finally finished my front panel. Not perfect, but not too bad.
It was all done with a single transfer from CraftyComputerPaper at Frequently Asked Questions
Alignments are not perfect but we shall see. It is easy to remove and repeat. One small issue is that the transfer material can stretch slightly and this can make alignment a little tricky...that's my excuse anyway

George,
I am still working on my case as well. i am going to try this product on my Wood case.

failing that i will try what you used.

Transfer paper
Hi Rick,
Let me know how that goes.
The only problem with the method I used is that the edge of the transparent film is just visible to the left and right of the panel. That was why I used one large decal..fewer edges to worry about. The best solution would be something that transferred just the text and used no film. Still, with a couple of sprays of clear varnish the edges are nearly invisible

Hi David, I have a kit for sale, currently located with my brother in the USA.
PM me if interested.
Paul.
I have a 3d printer and will be making a front and back panel, albeit plastic (abs). So let me ask has anyone made a cad file of the front and back, or is there a pdf drawing showing the the dimensions including the screw centers etc., if so I can draw it up in Autocad and then print the panels using an stl file.
my printer is limited in size to 9" x 6" so the panels will have to be in two pieces and spliced together and include matching knobs, but my days of drilling out aluminum are done.

Panels and BOMs
Here's the current status of my DSelf Pre-amp project.
Most recent BOMs and panel templates (in SVG and PDF formats) here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B_svLQu7hxPtTUcxZ1hma2RwR0k
(The enclosure is a repurposed case from a piece of hospital gear(?) I got from an electronics recycler. The panels were cut by a local guy with a CNC router. I had to rebore the holes on the front panel because they were a bit small, but I think that was a problem with the cutting, not the PDF template. Sorry if this isn't the proper way to share photos.)

Thanks, Rick! This is the first time I've actually spent time figuring out an enclosure for a project. (Most of my past DIY efforts have included a easy-to-configure recommended enclosure.)
A quick question for you pros. I plan to run a 120V AC line from the IEC on the back of the enclosure to the switch on the front, then to the power supply. Is that acceptable practice? If so, should I twist the two (up and back) 120V wires together and run them along the side of the interior of the enclosure?
TIA.
