RE: My New DIY Passive Preamplifier

opus64:

The large black block has medium density felt pads that rub against the brass shafts for volume and input selection. They act as dampers to micro vibration that might arise in the shafts (and possibly getting into the pot or selector switch contact wipers. The dark and light grey materials are extensional damping treatments on the case to reduce any resonant vibrations. The rear switch labeled "CS" is to switch in or out a 3rd wire grounding of the case as electrical shielding.
