New Chassis Material Arrived

Hi!

Just received some top plates for some of the upcoming Compactron gear.



Top plates in silver for a DAC and a preamplifier.



I am really fond of the precision machining of my new suppler MWM.





A few pictures of my recent visit there.



One of my faceplates in the making.



Raw faceplates ready for the next step in finishing.



All face plates get brushed for a nice textured surface.



This involves manual work and a lot of experience. I had samples made by 5 different suppliers until I settled with MWM for their expertise in metal surface treatment.




The top plates will get glass pearl blasted for a contrast with the face plate



Side panels in aluminum as an alternative to wood panels:






Glass pearl blasted and brushed:



Different colors are possible too of course, here a top plate for a power amp in black:



Many more colors will be coming soon!



I'd like to thank the nice people at MWM for the dedication and commitment to quality. 

Best regards

Thomas
