Since we have an interesting discussion on facebook right now:
what features would you like?

So far we have volume control only ...

[irfrench]

Would it be Mono (single slot?), Stereo and/or linkable?

How about a little talkback option?  When I'm setting preamp levels the talkback button is *all the way over there* 

This would be a cool addition, good work!

Single Slot. We use the Output for an Input.
No connector left for an talkback input.

[irfrench]

I/O jacks - nicely done makes sense.

How about an aux input on the front?  Could be used for additional signal injection and/or talkback - maybe switch-able?

Hi Volker!
Linkwitz-crossfeed?

A few LEDs indicating input level would be nice.

Ok, decided to do the inputs and main amplifier on one PCB, headphone jacks controls on another.
(just to have them all centered at the front panel etc).

one more advantage: we can do different sub PCBs, for future features like mono or crossfeed etc.
I took care to distribute all 16V and 24V voltages to the sub-PCB.

the first one just has volume control and clip LED, and two headphone outputs.
I don't need more at the moment.

ordered some prototype PCBs

I could do with this.  Please count me in.

What's the Facebook page where this discussion is happening?  Or is it a secret?!

[[silent:arts]]

Nothing secret.

Ok, PCBs should arrive soon, and I already have two trusted Beta-Testers.

Now for the "Artist-Edition":

how would you do the Mono-Switch?
Pros and Contras for MONO1 vs MONO2?

[culteousness1]

I would prefer Version 2 since it's passive and simple

Agreed,often done this way.

Hi s:a - how are the prototypes coming along?

[[silent:arts]]

Hi Rob,

the PCBs are here, and today I'm awaiting the parts I ordered from the online Reichelt BOM Udo was kind enough to do.
don't know if I find time soldering today, but will have time over the weekend.

Volker,

if you need any prototype builder or tester, I would be happy to help!
Right now I have plenty of time as there are Semesterferien 

Best,
Carsten

Cool Carsten!

I just checked Udo's Reichelt Cart. Seems like it's missing some sort of headers/Sockelleisten to interconnect both PCBs.

Or what was the plan how to connect the boards?

Hi Carsten,

it's "Stiftleisten"in the bom.

Best,

Udo.

I want to have the potentiometer and headphone sockets in the middle of the faceplate.
not doable with sockets like the PCB is (too narrow together).
not doable with a mirrored daughter PCB (too wide for standard headers / sockets).
so we just use the header pins and solder the PCBs together.
