What case are you using Alan?
I am keen to see how this one comes along, as I will be ordering my pre-drilled case at the weekend.

Looking good Alan. :)

Let's hope that special magical smoke does not get released into the wild. :)

Very nice work Alan

I finally received the correct sized text for the front panel, a bit of delay due to the holiday season.

Firstly a picture showing the link in the XLR socket, to enable use of the single ended input, an idea pinched from Krell:

The completely finished amplifier in all it's glory:

These Neurochrome amplifiers (I have the 286) are stunning performers, I tell people they are end game amplifiers, IMO.
The sheer transparency is almost magical, I certainly won't be looking for anything different.

It can now (finally) make it's way down to Edward's new place.

PM’d you O Fiery One. :D

Great work, Alan, but wouldn't this thread be better served in the DIY room? It's more of a DIY project than a system pics one, mate:)
