DIY amp and such build gallery

[EdipisReks]

one of the threads that i enjoy the most on head-fi is the DIY build gallery. i'm not much of a DIY'er myself, but i know some members here are. feel free to post pictures and details of your amp/source/whatever builds here.

(edited for clarity)

Just to get the ball rolling...

Here's a Millett Hybrid I built recently, to cover for the fact that I still haven't built one for myself (after over a year)

Finish Shot


Pron


Rear Panel


SPECS:

TREAD power supply (running a 24V AC wallwart outputting 29V DC to the amp)
Elna Cerafine and Silmic II + Wima caps
Discrete Diamond Buffers (design by ppl, tweak by steinchen)
Alps Pot

Spent the weekend cleaning up the wiring and fixing a ground hum, it's now good to go.

Approximate Construction Cost = $250

Can I play? This is as close as I've ever come to DIY...



Approximate cost: 9 months of fanboying!

You can play just as long as you can show schematics for what we see .

The case came out of my junk box and I just didn't feel like making two new panels for it.

Damn...I wish I could do that stuff...but I have no clue when it comes to soldering or electrical work of any nature. Hoping to buy a DIY millett hybrid sometime soon, so we'll see...

Finally got around to casing up my my PPA V2. Still some small issues to resolve but for the most parts she's all done.

It's a 2 box configuration with a Jung Super Regulator in one box and the PPA in the other.







I'll shoot some internal shots later.

Ooooooh, how does it sound? That would be an interesting dac to try I think. What would you sell one of those for?

[Mister X]

Ooooooh, how does it sound?

It sounds pretty damn good considering how much it cost.
