I'll be doing a whole write up on my web page on the DIY of this cabinet. (www.rvbprecision.com)The meters are working great! Relocated the power switch to the front. Ran the power cables under the chassis so there is no interference. The volume control was relocated and a Delrin (Plastic) knob turned on the lathe to mitigate static discharge. A "dot" of white nail polish for indication on the knob....The two toggle switches select the meter to set bias on front or rear tubes. The meters read 0-1 volt and bias on the st120 is 1/2Volt so they are very accurate. Tested them against my Fluke meter and they are spot on. Amazing is that they cost under $6 each!

Very nice! How is it sounding? What source(s) have you paired with it?

Thanks....Listening mostly with a Bluesound Node2i...but have listened to my B&O RX2 turntable and an Onkyo Integra CD player....But the Bluesound with Qobuz or Amazon HD has been the GoTo.
