My build progress

I built another Barton Balanced Outputs module. This time with an Oscillosaurus panel for Eurorack and fancy TRS/XLR combo jacks:

The one I already had was one of the first modules I built. I used a blank Kosmo panel (at first it was a steel panel made from a Home Depot tie plate) and it has the XLR jacks in the back of the case:

I used oversized old school surface mount resettable fuses in stead of 10R resistors, because hey why not, and it necessitated one of my favorite hacks for when there just isn’t enough room for a keyed header:

I used fancy, but also old school and oversized, 0.1% resistors for the balancing part and split the decoupling electrolytic capacitors for the four outputs into two groups of polarized and non-polarized to see if it would sound any different (I can’t tell if they do).
