Re: Black Front Panels ?
Why not use a piece of slate, easy enough to drill out for control knobs etc.
I'm lucky I have access to 8 different coloured slates, that is the basic colour is black but they can contain at random - reds/oranges/greens/yellows etc. They are used as decorative wall finishes and are 10mm thick. Of course they have boring black as well. I would like to make complete chassis from this material but first need to know what adhesive to bond the pieces with, since this is preferable from an aesthetic view point rather than using nuts and bolts. I suppose it will come down to using epoxy resin. Also as the chassis would be non-metallic, what do I do about earthing.

Re: Black Front Panels ?
Hi-you could build your amp on an alloy plate and attach it to the slate base using stand offs and countersunk machine screws from underneath.
That way you can earth the base plate. Philip

Re: Black Front Panels ?
I just came back from the stonemasons and bonding the pieces is no problem at all, the bonding agent is stronger than the stone itself, I actually watched them putting together a marble triple wash basin unit (for a hotel).

Re: Black Front Panels ?
I'd say black gloss - get the same sexy look as the Melody amps. And I agree having the WD logo etched in silver would look cool!
Also think that TX cans would look good rather that the chrome caps... Steve
