If you are doing your own chassis work, I would go with an aluminum chassis with a ground bus. You can also get the aluminum plated with copper, at least I understand that you can do that, for extra protection. Aluminum is easier to work than steel if you need to drill holes for your sockets and transformers, etc. I am using solid 10 gauge copper for the ground bus which is grounded to the power trans mounting stud. My amps have been dead quiet with that scheme. The only thing is you need a large tip hot iron to work with that size wire. I bend it to go to the power supply caps and it is stiff enough to hold its shape. You can use single solder lugs to mount it off the chassis. good luck with your project, Dak
