I am building an
NC502MP Ghent kit. These are a new addition in a 200mm x 315mm case. Ghent put up the new item quickly after I requested a custom drilled base the prior
NCore dual NC400 case kit.
Are there any additional items that I need to order such as the items below?
- screws to attach the NC502MP to the case. M3 6mm perhaps???
- Any internal cables such as Ghent's NC252MP/NC502MP cable kit
- other recommended items?
The build cost so far is $345 for the
NC502MP module from Vacuum Tube Values and $185 for the Ghent case kit.
IMO, this is a better DIY value than the NC252MP builds compared to commercially available units. Without a case kit made easy though, I would have just ordered a new amplifier such as the Monoprice Monolith 5 channel amp that measures well from their own and Audioholics independent tests.
It is nice to see people building and sharing their results.
