  1. Is there any chance someone has A) a chassis laying around for the lil knight boards (the thick blue ones) or B) designs for a chassis? I'm coming down the home stretch with this (if everything works right the first time, a big IF) and casing/heatsinks is the only thing I still need to scrounge up.
  2. Okay, so I've managed to track down all of the sand for the PSU, still working on the Amp section. This means it's time to start casing the PSU up and testing things out. I realize that traditionally we've all gone with pretty much the same chassis design. Has anyone had any esoteric ideas that they think would work, but haven't had the will to try out? I've always wanted to build something out of stone (especially after seeing the new Orpheus 2 from Sennheiser). As long as the heatsinks are standard, can anyone see a problem with making the top and bottom this way?
  3. That's good news as far as my wallet is concerned.
  4. Bdent seems to have most of what is needed (at an exorbitant price, but hey, beggars can't be choosers). Do they offer a matching service or is just luck of the draw with them?
  5. Managed to get a hold of a set of blue boards. I've got most of the basic stuff in them already (caps and resistors), however I'm not really having much luck finding the sand I need.
  6. @spritzer Have you decided which materials/stats you'll be using for this go-around (FR-4 vs CLTE, .062" vs .125", ENIG vs ENEPIG vs whatever, 2 oz vs 4 oz, # of layers, etc.), or is it that thinking too far in advance?
  7. After looking at quotes for individual boards, I'm beginning to understand the concept of a group buy. Any chance anyone has a spare amp board or power board they'd be willing to sell? Pm me if you're willing to sell.
  8. Have sent designs in looking for quotes on the PCBs. As no purchases have been yet made, how much more difficult would it be to go the dual power-supply route (aside from the obvious factor of another chassis/board to make)? My understanding is that it should be fairly straightforward as it was designed said way. I have a decent amount of DIY experience (b22 most recently) and the additional chassis is not an issue (plenty of machinery here on my end).
