Protecting Equipment from Children
Having, with spouses' total 'buy-in', to Not 'do kids' (or grand versions), only the pets of our choice to cope with.  Since one doesn't have answer "Why?" incessantly, simply train said pet to leave 'This' Alone. I will agree with @oldhvymec ......

To Buy or to DIY, here is my question
Since I can't buy precisely what I want, I'm left with one option. That, and nobody has admonished me that I can't, the skills, or the gumption to do so....that led me to make one.  Follow by similar pair. That begat 4 identical ones; all iterat... 
It comes with a balance knob?!?! I'll take it!
...hmmm...do separate level controls qualify, or is that even more 'retro' or 'sota' sorta' ?   Is it possible to have too many?  Pre-, post-, even at the amps?

A** Kicking, Rock and Roll!
@dabel ...."....I'm done." *Tsk*  Some people....start a fire, toss some gas about...then split. *sheesh* I guess it's some of the 'things' I've posted of late..... "You 'drop weird stuff..." (Well, you asked....🤷‍♂️) Come back, little dabel....

McIntosh -- good for show, not for sound, says dealer
Drop a large rock into a large fishbowl and watch the fish go frenzy...;) Yup, Macs'/Rolex is 'bout right.  But that makes anything 'new' like the latest digi- wrist thing or cell...."Hot" with a tag to match, 'till it's not. ...of course, there...
