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

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

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.
