I see what you did there Good idea. (Now you need to make, selling in kit form, a similar model for the Sony WM-D6 / D6C.)
I’m not sure I’d like to repeat this process lol. It was a ridiculous amount of labor and hyper-focus attention to detail. In all, I think I have a month of work in it. Very happy with the way it turned out. Sound quality is absurd. Worlds better than the crappy little built-in mono speaker.
That's Class! Kudos, mate! Always appreciate when someone can do such things with his own hands! What speakers did you use in this HiFi system? Shared with my forum mates so that they could envy.
