Ok,
After a few of months of 15 min here and there bits of work, I've finished (and fairly pleased with) what I call my 'Zen friend' - an selector box / Bugle phono preamp designed to complement my Zen amp.
The Power Supply and Bugle are stacked to save space and are sandwiched between a copper plate. For the money and effort, I'm extreamly pleased with the result. This little guy is very quiet and transparent in my system - both of which was what I was after
For any that are interested, some additional details / pictures can be found at
