Only one thing to bear in mind with the 306, the input sensitivity is high, so not every pre-amp will be happy with it. But that can be changed by swapping two very easy to reach resistors for about a quid!
Yes, the 306 is almost competition for my seventeen quid TPA3116 Chinese Class D mini amp! :D
There's no comparison soundwise though. The 303 does little wrong, but it's a pipe & slippers softie.Quote:

I've finished cutting out the holes in front & rear panels, now to wire up and assemble.

Nice work Geoff.
I should finished it later. If the pot value suits what I'm doing, I may order a similar value stepped attenuator.
Bugger, can't find any suitable wire (so far). I'll just use whatever I can find in my workshop for now just to get it working.
Done now. I'll try it out shortly.
