Knuckledragger Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 The Complete New Yorker Book and DVD Set. Could not pass this up for $26 shipped (curse you head-case!) I got the 1925-2005 set. I don't really need to remember 2005-2008 just yet, if you know what I mean. Their sodding order system died on my the first time. I had to go back, re-add the item, and then delete the dupe. It worked the second time without a hitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I just placed an order for all the parts needed to build the Poor Man stat amp. Now we'll see if it is possible to build an amp for less then 300$... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duggeh Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I tuned out of that thread because it was so far over my head that planes were hitting it and dropping in the Hudson. Does that $300 include a case? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherwood Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Does that $300 include a case? It should. Cavalli's design (which seems to be what they're running with) is about $200 in parts, minus case. Of course, you could always just put that shit in a -=mint tin=-.

spritzer Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 The order I placed was for enough parts for two amps plus quite a bit of random ESP stuff/BH parts and the total was 250$+shipping. I bought a 280-0-280v/55mA R-core off ebay for 40$ and some 2SJ74's at 10$. The case I have (Galaxy or I find something nice and gut it) and quite a few of the parts needed (standoffs, RCA sockets, volume pot, IEC inlet, fuse holder, vector boards, stax sockets etc.) but they aren't expensive. This amp will be SE only though as I don't have a balanced source so that means I have more choice with pots. Odds are I'll go with a Noble here as usual. yeah, good luck with that Yeah, that's never going to happen. The 717 is about 7-900$ used and a screaming deal at that so a 300$ amp will not beat it but it will be fun trying. That being said the target headphone is the Lambda range and a simple, affordable DIY amp that most can build is clearly a good thing for the community. That is will probably outperform the RSA A-10 is just a bonus... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we'll see if it is possible to build an amp for less then 300$... Cool, keep us updated with that. If it turns out to be a great project, I might try to build it to drive Koss ESP950 on the cheap. There's a black hole right now in the <800$ price range for stats amps.

Voltron Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks all. I am lucky and I have sold more than enough gear to pay for this lovely item so it even feels better than just shelling out new cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
