T-amp in original case.

 

 

New case made from walnut w/stainless front.

 

Blue "fan shaped" LED  mounted above pot, haven't decided on knob yet.

Rear view:  binding posts as well as RCA plugs and power jack.  I added an extra input for an i-pod or or other small device but it is a dead now because I have no selector yet. 

 

Under the hood, wires are short (beginner mistake) and not very organized. I should have taken pics before I put the top on the base for a better look.

 

 

Since I didn't have the info available for input caps on the new board revision all I have really done is boost the power supply. A 16v 35,000 uf Mallory cap is fed by a 12.75 v lead acid battery. 2 rubycon ZL caps rated 16v @ 680 uf are in line to the board, c-10 was replaced with the same Rubycon  cap. The "hot glue" on the board is to keep the wires from breaking as I was moving things around a bit to get them in the box. I have power going right to the side of C-10 and ground is on the big solder slug on the on-board power jack's ground.

 

12 v battery

Sounds pretty good through the MKII Buschorns

The sound out of this little system is pretty good (actually, really good) . The power mod increased the bass and added some richness to the sound. My input is a Sony PS1 cd player which sounds really great. I will be running some vinyl as soon as I get another pre amp.
