Things are progressing nicely. Some photos.

Finally cut the hole for the EQ section... took about 2+ hours... it's a pain doing this. And I have to be careful not to make the square holes too big because the tolerances are very tight.



Some closeup photos of the Preamp and EQ module.









And here's a picture of my 1st Sony MXP preamp (white case) and the 2nd unit I'm currently building (black case).




Next steps:

1. Drill holes for the output transformer. I'm using an output trafo that came from an MCI console.

2. Build +18-0-18 PSU with 48V phantom power... drill holes on case for PCB and toroid transformer.

3. Wire everything!
