P3t4

Hey guys, I have been stuck for about 10 months on getting my custom case ordered. Most of the companies I have enquired have either dismissed me or given me astronomical offers, such as, $15,000 for a single case. Do you know of reputable shops who could manufacture my case? Also, if any of you have access to proper machinery and is willing to attempt this project, I would be more than happy to compensate accordingly. We could also possibly arrange a group buy if there are enough people interested in my case. I have to build mine first to make sure the thermals are okay, of course. Thanks in advance!

I would recommend you look into the used market and snatch yourself a pair of mk1 for $1000-1500$ or the sr-009 for 2000$-2500$.

K1000 is $500-$1500, if somebody pays $3K for them congratulations. I bought a pair for the thrills but was pleasantly surprised of how well dynamic headphones can perform. In my collection they are between the SR-007 and SR-202. First non-electrostat I have heard that beat the SR-202 but not by much. My SR-202 + SRM-252II is still the best value hifi purchase that I have made at 300€ .

I will have all of the parts custom made in a cnc-shop. Since it's unclear whether I will make more than one I will have the heatsinks milled and not made with a mold. It will be expensive but beautiful

I am going to run a controlled test when I get the heatsinks. My backup plan is to go with normal vertical heatsinks which I have already modelled after the conrad design. I decided to go with a cool winged heatsink because Conrad heatsinks never replied to my emails. Everybody can do it! This is my first ever 3D-model .

It's even gonna have black jacks!

Sneak peek of my custom enclosure to be. I have spent way too much time in the modelling software.

Bad in not optimal or bad in frying transistors?

I tried to fill the form but got a 404 error. I copied the order and sent it to them via email. Awfully silent. I hope they answer me one day, I am almost finished with my full custom carbon case. I also asked them what the fillet applied to the fins is. To me it looks like a 2mm tangent fillet. Since they will unlikely ignore my question, can someone measure the fillet? If I go the route of ordering the heatsink as a custom part as well, will a cnc shop be able to make a heatsink? E.g. a winged one like on the diyT2 and bhse?

Is Conrad Heatsinks out of business? I've sent them an email about the mf35-75 3 weeks ago with no answer .

Well, I better get GRLV in my build as well. Anybody got a BOM for it? EDIT: Found it.

@gepardcvIs there a significant difference running a separate GRLV?

What is the correct gerber file in the drive folder for the grhv psu used in the boms? Edit: Forgot already got an answer for this.

Anybody got a spare TKD 4cp potentiometer for sale?

All I have asked relates to my utter and complete newbieness as you have pointed out cs majors don't deal with hardware. My friend is a stone cold professional, already graduated and working at the uni. He has also built all kinds of devices including amplifiers. I haven't showed the schematics to him yet but when I do I will ask him whether he has worked with such high voltage and if he knows the safety measures before I go further with the build. I appreciate your concern.

No need for worry, I've got friends at the university who have studied electrical engineering for years. I'm merely managing the build not messing anything up myself. I am from the computer science department and while I do know how to solder the rest of the expertise I do not have. Thank you for the info. I'm about half way on this thread.

Also, I'm interested in how to make an adjustable bias output for vintage stuff.

How do you mount the boards in the case? Does the modushop case come with screws? Do they also do the holes and carvings? What kind of wires are preferred? I'm almost ready to start the project at the university

I just found the google drive folder with the projects. Is kgsshvcarbonv5.zip the one I'm after, going for the solid state carbon? Does the zip file have all the files needed for my project? Thanks!

First post here Where might I find the schematics and whatnot to get a project going? Does someone sell the boards already or do I get to order them from somewhere? Cheers!
