Will recommended this for my SDFB setup and it arrived yesterday. I know there are more elegant and much more expensive options. After searching a bit I decided $40 is worth just the chassis alone, other empty chassis were double that so I went for it. I've been dying to see what's under the cover. This has been a life long thing with me, I NEED to know what's inside. so here we go...





Yes, that's a thin sheet of cardboard in there.





I have a few thoughts about this box, curious what others think, leave it alone or upgrades?

The plan for this is to have a SDFB and piggy between this and the wall. Then UFO, CSP, ZP# into this box.

The outlets look like they have good copper connections... have to check the sound, but I think I recall this one may have claimed to be real red copper that is plated for the receptacle plugs, and many inexpensive Chinese made receptacles do use decent copper it seems. What about the IEC inlet... Furutech copy or plain nickel plate??? Looks like it is probably plate, but if gold plated, guessing it might use some decent copper under too. The heavy Aluminum case is your friend for shielding. And are those silver plate wires? If silver plate (even if perhaps small, short runs of good wire can sound pretty good), I would try it as is for sure, especially if the IEC appears to be optimized. If not, I would start with a nicer IEC, like Viborg Furutech copy or similar. But I am usually a one-thing-at-a-time guy, wanting to hear what things do before making changes.

I like to do "home run" wires on these things... three good wires to each receptacle...
