I know, I get that all the time.
It's a good Idea!
I might have to try my hand at it!
How thick is the Delrin you use for cases?
Plastic is relatively difficult stuff to work with.
Chris, I'm not good enough to build those enclosures. I just use a slab, whatever I can get on eBay cheap, 1/2" to 2". I have a HUGE chunk of 2" right now. I think it's 4' square, for future projects.
Charlie has an awesome Passive line stage machined out of a solid chunk of Delrin, probably 4"-5" thick! We have listened to the identical P&G pots in three different enclosures, the Delrin one, one of Bubinga wood ( by David McGown) and one Guy Riffle made, I forget the material, chocolate maybe? But the one in Delrin was head and shoulders above the other two, which are both EXCELLENT.
My phono stage uses a 1" thick slab on the bottom of a cheap metal enclosure. I KNOW a better enclosure will improve the sound overall.
