Suspended Wall Mounting

I've mounted the right speaker on a hinged shelf which is supported at the front by two thin polypropylene lines from the wall. The adjustment, including the firing angle, is made by means of two turnbuckles. I found a nice spot on my computer table for the pre-amp and on top of it, on a plinth, the tube output stage. Long live Rock an' Roll.

The Beginning of the End

I've moved into the boiler- house workshop to do the wiring on the last stage of my Hi-Fi project. It should all be finished in the next 24 hours.

Wood and Metal

Click on photo for larger version.

The bench comes into it's own for a bit of metal and woodwork. It's great to have lots of space to lay things out. The two "hi-end" o/p transformers from Hammond in Canada are waiting in the wings, before being mounted atop the finished chassis. The cut-outs for the 4 tubes and 2 front panel meters are visible. I decided to include the meters in the design to indicate the onset of clipping in the class A triode o/p stages.
