what, they invented the fucking thing? I'm not going to touch another Single Power amp whether it's on or off until I've seen what's inside.

The 6016 is $36.97 in natural, $41.95 in black plus shipping.

here are the quotes for the Y236007 5 pcs: $18.48 each + $13-ish shipping ($21 each) I think this is a good enough price point to move on, so I'll send some PMs out to people who expressed interested in a parts kit.

hum a hum a hum... I think I'll be trying something from here: Wolgram Products- Sescom Enclosures prices are right and they look decent to boot!

heh. I just was on their site did you purchase them direct? There was another company back that I found that made cases that look like the little creek headphone amplifiers, and like the Whest phono preamps, but I cannot seem to find them now.. oh well. edit: found 'em: www.nutech-eng.com

any recommendations on a nice little case that could fit a single PCB? They are 7"x5"x~3" high. The largest Hammond is oh so close..

agreed...

I plan on using a chassis mount rectifier bridge and then a single cap which will be mounted with a clamp. I'll probably leave out the AC filtering. I contacted an individual who sells Pearl kits asking for a few psu boards, and he didn't reply to me

these look sweet: Low Voltage Transformers - 30v to 200v SNC Transformer 30v @ 0.5 amps (TP) 25-3006 SNC transformer, hermetically sealed. Harris P/N: 472-0643-000.

Excellent! I just sent them an e-mail.

hey, thanks! I wonder what the price is less than 10. I suppose its either those or the Avel donuts I posted above: - Avel Y236107 qty 1 = $22.47 + $11.39 shipping ($33.86 each) qty 5 = $21.35 + $13.55 shipping ($24.06 each) I think half of the interested parties in the parts kit wanted a "budget" version, so perhaps the Avel makes more sense here... Opinions?

Also, the picture attached looks like a PCB mount... Opinions?

it's used for the "Kevin Gilmore Cryo Challenge"

exactly what it does in this case... ok, I'll give it a go. Thanks guys!

The example would better be if it went like this: a buyer walks into a car dealership and looks up the guy who sold him his last 2 cars, and sold cars to 2 of his close friends. Car salesman then charges more than car is worth.

PowerCon... Interesting idea... I'll look in the morning.

yup, looks good. I usually include 20% for transformer headroom, as not to draw more than 80% of rated current from the transformer, but you're good in this case.

no bad at all, considering I had so much cable to work with (four conductors in each side). On another cable related issue, I have a Neutrik cable that I've made a mistake and am trying to use too thick of a cable. The bottom part barely fits and then I can hook up the section that takes the wire and then place the third part over this section and screw it onto the first... problem is, I cannot get the strain relief section that usually goes on second to fit. As a result it's not working so well..... any way to rig this up somehow, or is this not even coherent...

I think a lot of people involved with this know exactly where to kick I'm not, so I'll shut up.... I've given my $0.02 above anyways.

heh, plus it was a leading question that no one fell into... I can see paying more to recoup R&D costs.... but hitting up Kevin for what electrostatic amp should I put into production and then using something off a Stax manual doesn't qualify as R&D in my book. Pars: My real beef is that people pay for it in part because they trust Mikhail (RSA, etc.), *not* because the market will bear it. Granted, he rightly earned people's respect with his first amps, as they sound good and are reasonably priced (yes, I own one)... but I think this trust was taken advantage of. I don't have the words right now to flesh this line of thought out, but this is what I think the real problem is/was/will be. If I'm in the minority, so be it... I'm happy here.

well.. I have a stock cable that I converted to balanced... anyways, a fine looking cable... however, I do have to say that the lower end Furutech stuff is crap in my opinion (XLR chassis connectors, IEC inlet, 0.25" TRS plug, etc.).

yes. R2 drops about a quarter of a volt, so around 4.7/0.25 per board.. 50mA with headroom.

while no pics yet, I finished up my first Senn cable using the new Cardas connectors. It is an 8 conductor cable, with 3 different gauges of wire. I was wondering, do you use the larger pin on the connector for ground, or signal?

I'd be interested, if it was encapsulated / shielded. Digipete, you want to take the lead on this one?
