Are there any pictures of a rack mounted S.E.X. ?  I think PB built one that recently went on ebay.

I love the attenuator/input selector board, are they readily available or is that a trade secret?

I used an off the shelf board from China.  They are probably still available, but the board itself changes with great frequency (so much so that I've never gotten 2 that were the same!)

never mind, it was a foreplay

But a version of the S.E.X. like this would be cool
Actually, the SEX 2.0 (the stereo SEX, not the older monoblocks) was laid out to make this possible. The chassis can be sliced into four sections of 8" by 2.5", stacked vertically so the controls are on the front and the connectors on the back. That would fit in a standard 2.75-inch tall rack space. The idea never went anywhere, though.
