The order acknowledgment that my brother got from RadioDaze included the following: *If you have ordered a Hammond product there will be some additional time needed to get it from them or have them ship it to you, so please be aware. So I am guessing they do the same thing. I ordered enough resistors that I can do R2 until the choke shows up. I suppose the footprint, etc. on these is proprietary, so no alternate part/supplier other than Hammond.

All of the ones that Mouser carries are E-C-B. ON, STM and Fairchild. ON and STM have the pictures in their datasheets showing the back (metal tab), but when looking at the plastic front, are consistent in pinout. Parts are on order. I take it the preferred build is with the C-L-C filter in the PSU instead of the C-R-C, and to use the CCS? Hammond choke ordered from RadioDaze. We'll see how fast they are. I also had Craig order the Pana TS-HC caps from Mouser. They do carry the TS-HA as well, but do not have them yet and delivery was early August (8-9-2010). I substituted a 47uf cap of the same series as the 33uf one that was backordered also (C5 IIRC).

Happy Birthday!

Also, C1L/R: I assume 250V is too low for these in case Q1/Q2 were to blow. I have a ton of MKP10 0.1/250V around.

I assume the Fairchild 512-MJE350STU may be used in place of the ST parts in the Mouser BOM that are backordered? After my recent experience with ST regulators, I avoid them like the plague Also, the 33uf / 50V cap listed in the BOM is backordered as well. I haven't measured the LS on the board, but from the pic I assume that 5mm won't work (Mouser stocks the Pana FC in this value, but it is 5mm instead of 2.5mm LS).

Didn't see this in the parts list: what is IC1? LM317? Think I may be out of them, so wanted to make sure to order some more.

Kit showed up today. Guess I'd better get busy! Thanks Doug and Tom,

Homepage has always been empty. My normal link in whatever the URL bar at the top of Firefox is set to go to "http://www.head-case.org/forums". Starting sometime yesterday, this now is rerouted to www.Head-Case.org - The Front Page, which goes to the empty home page.

Yeah, he wasn't one of the ones I was paying attention to, but I'd have to agree. "I can hear so much air around Pigpen <gasp>"

^ Was only planning on doing one.

The Mouser BOM I got from Tom appears to have quantities to build two amps... two IECs, etc. Was this intentional or am I misreading things?

I wonder if you could "persuade" Aavid to either send you samples (was it 60 of them ), or sell them direct to you? I would guess your credentials are good enough that it might work. Heat sink producer Aavid Thermalloy - World Leader in Thermal Management

Hope all the dads had great a Father's Day!

Yeah, I saw that too... major wtf moment... someone uses an Apache on their demo rig, and its written up as if rsa was there. Not sure who had the rudi shit (moon?). Rudi was invited, as weil as sovkiller. Never saw qables stuff, so not sure where that was.

^ Me too.

Sony stuff sucks balls. Their really esoteric made in Japan maybe not, but the rest of it... pffft. As in Arthur? hehe

Like I'd know that Previous pic was '60s or maybe early '70s when I might have paid attention to them. Whitesnake?

I didn't guess on the first one, but no, don't know who this one is...

I used to prefer dealing with Digikey until a couple of years ago. Mouser has really stepped up their game.

Try TAW Electronics... they seem to have them, thought their search function is a bit wonky. Capacitors, Resistors, Connectors, LED, Varistors from WIMA, AOP, PIHER, NEMCO, FISHER, CAPAX, ARCO, SAURO, SFI If you go to the MKP10 section, try page 5.

I was always (well, at least as long as I've lived in Chicago and there was one around) partial to Edwardo's, but I prefer thin crust pizza. I really don't like Lou Malnati's, but have only eaten at the one in Naperville. There used to be a place downtown Naperville that had great deep dish and thin pizza; Leonardo's. Driven out like many downtown N'Ville in favor of national chains

You can run a BOM output (ULP IIRC) in Eagle... not sure how much this would help you as far as where things are (top or bottom).

I thought the Eagle files were around somewhere?
