    Does no-one like the overlapping back panel?
    The panels both overlap by 5mm, so hardly a serious overlap.

    I personally don't like it - I would prefer (for me) a squared-off design, but if you want the overlap, then to my eyes it looks best on both front and back not just the front. Just my opinion!

    The 22K linear or 20K log pots are good enough. My choice of 20K linear was purely due to availability of that component at the time of design.

    I think it looks great, but will it really sound any better for it ?

    Course it will, 'cos it looks so much better and a lot of effort went into it
    I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
    I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

    not everyone like my case, but it is for practical reason. I discovered that posting a parcel that weights less than 2KG is far cheaper than posting one that weights 2.1KG. In the UK alone it makes a difference of about £13 via RM Special Delivery.

    Ooo, I just stumble across this. Very nice work so far James, I love the design. Very understated and minimal but classy. Personally I like the original case but your new one definitely takes it to the next level. I look forward to seeing the finished article.
