Title: Eros 2
Post by: benzxc on April 28, 2024, 10:53:57 PM

Does anybody know the dimensions of the Eros 2 and BeePre 2? Apologies if this information is available but I cannot seem to locate it on the site or forum.

I caught the DIY bug after building the Pipettes (reminded me of how fun it was to build the Crack and Stereomour II that I built like 4-5 years ago), and I am dying for something that I can take out my soldering station out. So I am trying to find a new project to do. I don't really need a new phono or preamp but if it fits...

Most kits list the chassis plate size. But nowhere is the base size listed. It runs 1-1/4" wider and deeper than the chassis plate, and is 3-3/4" tall feet included. The overall hight including items sticking above the chassis plate is highly variable depending on the kit, but most typically will be the tubes.

Chassis panel is 8"x12" so base is a bit shy of 9.5" x 13.5". About 6" tall.

Thanks! Can I also get the dimensions for the BeePre 2 as well? Especially the height with the stock tubes. I know 300Bs run quite hot so I need to make sure I have enough top ventilation.

BeePre2 is about 11.5"Dx17.5"Wx9" H. Allow an inch or two clearance above that for air flow.
