Hope everyone is well.
I don't recall when I started this. I built the PCBs a while ago, and I didn't lose them or the other parts.
I really like the larger chassis; I've built a seduction for comparison.
I finished today, or at least I thought so.
I didn't build the wood chassis. I thought I did because all the other Bottlehead kits I've built, the chassis was built first.
I used Sowter 1990's wired 1:10. The included mounting holes are great.
I have Cinemag's in a box, but wanted to try something different.

That looks great!  Can I pop a copy of your build photo up on the thread about wiring up SUTs? 

Yeah, the Seduction was a very compact build.  Back in the day, it made a lot of sense when we had so many 10x6 kits, but it got really tight in there with all those Z5U and EQ caps!

That is a really nice looking built! I am curious what cartridge you are using with the step-up?

Stefan -- I'm going to use a Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC Star with it. I have a Hana EL mounted currently.

Ah, very nice. Not that I know the cart but I used a Soundsmith Otello once and really liked it. Would be nice to hear about your experience once you have it.

Very nice. The tube shield color look great with the top plate.
