Anybody have a good source for a cool but simple on off button for a DIY amp?
I would like it to be a round brush nickel button with/without a blue light around the button.
I have googled and searched but I have come up empty.
Thanks,
Scott

I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D

Short answer - no I don't.
Slightly longer answer: Here are two - potentially - good places to look (if you haven't already):

EDIT: Towson, eh? I went to high school in Towson :-)
oh, another potential source - www.tubesandmore.com -

I used this switch on my preamp, and it works great and is quite bright; only requires 120v source to power the LEDs which is nice. Black body is not my favorite, but switch is cheap is works well. -
I have one exactly like you are talking about in my DIY DAC, but green instead of blue that I got from mouser. I don't remember the manufacturer, but I'll try to search it out. I bought it over 2 years ago, so I don't know if they still carry it or not. I know it came in blue as well. Let me check and I'll post again if I find it.
Does it need to be single pole or double pole, or what configuration? The one I have is DPDT.
I found these, but they are all SPST. Hopefully one of these works: http://www.mouser.com/Schurter/Electromechanical/Switches/Pushbutton-Switches/_/N-5g30Zscv7?P=1z0z2ttZ1z0z2njZ1z0z24zZ1z0z812Z1z0zpeiZ1z0z2y5Z1z0yt3kZ1z0z810&FS=True
It's similar to the switch I used.
Nope, got it. It's just like this one:http://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Schurter/124168341124000/?qs=%2fha2pyFaduh1T%252bfZ%252bEsvksaepf1n9o40vOiCg9ER%252baj%2f1tSZeIKOxSsu7DrTqjuz
Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
"I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion."![:\](https://forum.polkaudio.com/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

Nope! It's the one in the above post that you want (I believe).

Wiring up a touch mount switch would be pretty cool on an amp.
