Here is a green Stereomour II that I just completed for a customer.  It is setup with a 4 pin balanced headphone jack up front for driving power hungry headphones off the speaker outputs.  The customer opted for the DC filament upgrade to keep it super quiet, as well as the shunt regulated driver supply.

Very nice.  45 or 2A3 (or both)?  Either way, I think the purchaser will be very happy.

cheers, Derek

It's built for 45s.  Both isn't an option on the S2.

@PB could you explain how you got the top finish / color done? It looks very cool!

A powder coating gun and an oven!

For powders with any kind of metallic particles, the Harbor Freight gun is pretty decent.

Eons ago (August), I put in an order for the chassis and input transformers for a super customized BeePre, and the input transformers finally showed up!  This particular customer wanted two balanced inputs as well as balanced outputs, so I had to use an 8P3T switch in order to switch each set of XLR jacks into the input transformers, then to either switch between the input transformers or the one set of unbalanced input jacks.  I made this similar in size to one of the BeePre 2 prototypes I made some years ago and powder coated it black, then installed MonAmour transformer covers over the power transformers.

That ladder attenuator is the bees knees. You should post a photo of my build here too.
