    Default DIY amp and such build gallery

    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

    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

    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.
