Hi Having read a lot about the quality of the Neurochrome amps recently I have ordered one of these which have just started shipping. I pre ordered to get advantage of the discount and also bought the chassis kit which I like the look of. I listen to quit a lot of music on headphones so will be interested to see how it stacks up against my NJ Audio monitor 2 headphone amp which I really like. Won't be able to build it for a while but looking forwards to receiving it and having a look. HP2

Haven't had a lot of time lately but I think the board will have to go to Alan for some TLC however hope to get a chance to do some case work over the xmas break - depending on weather! Haven't given up on it , don't worry!

Haven't given up on it , don't worry! No, I'm sure you haven't. Just hadn't seen an update and you were flying through it. Alan is the best guy to send it to, if he ain't too busy, obviously

Ok so got a note from RM about duty to pay so if anybody is curious the cost at todays exchange rate for postage, chassis and pcb is £252 plus import charge of £58. Looking at the project build BOM on mouser add about £120 with an Alps pot. If you provide your own chassis then you can knock about £150 off the bill but it looks nice so I thought I'd get it. Hope to pick it up this week

The case is by Modushop and is nice anodised black. The front panel looks real classy and is a sustantial 10 mm thick! Cd for scale etc. The print look very hood on it and whilst not small it isn't a massive size. Feels all quality😎
