At last, I've finished building it! For pics, see this thread at gearslutz: http://www.gearslutz.com/board/geekslut ... a-pre.html
Overall, I am very pleased with the sound, but I haven't tested it much yet. I love the VU meter, it is totally pointless but it is very visually inspiring which is important to me!

Re: Pics of my BA with custom case
Now, a couple of questions -
1. Will it hurt anything if I install film bypass caps in parallel with the six large electrolytics?
2. As you can tell from the pics, I forgot to install a power fuse. What fuse should I get?
Thanks!

Nice looking BA build
It is fine to bypass the 6 x 470uF 50v caps with 0.1uF etc if you want to.lontas wrote:Now, a couple of questions -

Usually we fit a 500mA slow blow fuse for pairs or quads of BA kits. But a 100mA or 200mA slow blow should be fine for 1 x BA kit.2. As you can tell from the pics, I forgot to install a power fuse. What fuse should I get?!

Just wanted to say that I decided to install the 0.1uF film bypass caps. The pre sounded really good before. But now, the thing has its own VIBE. Best $7.00 upgrade ever!
