Castanet - Oh snap. It's coming.

Featured Replies

A number of us have been contacting Hagerman over the past year or so regarding a SET headphone amp design.

He said he'll do something about it independently.

Oh snap. It's coming. Ultra excited.

How many times you you type 'Oh snap' in one day?

Looking closer at it... kit for $99... uses 6H30. I have 4 6H30's that I'm not using. Could this circuit be balanced if you bought two kits? >:D

Its a kit/2: meaning it only includes the parts that you cannot get readily off the shelf. With all those transformers, I bet this ends up totaling about $400ish for a stereo amp.

Is there a problem with "oh snap" that I am not aware of?

Hey you thief. I posted that punkface.

Jay hasn't gotten his weekly dose of warmth, and his dormies are always present- so no self service for him. Tense times.

ROFL. You jsut wait for my perfectly timed comeback.

I'm with JB, I can't imagine the half-kit containing much at $99, certainly none of the trafos. In fact it's sort of weird that he's referring to it as a half kit, I'm surprised he isn't making it a half-box like the Cornet. That'd actually be a decent deal at $99.

No, Hagerman's 1/2 kits aren't actually anything close to half of what you need. This amp is supposed to cost hundreds to build. I wouldn't be surprised if the kit only contains the boards, chassis, and manual. That is usually what his 1/2 kits entail.

You are correct, the half/kit nomenclature is somewhat of a misnomer since it's usually not much more than the pcb. And knowing that I'd have a hard time shelling out $99 for a pcb but when he includes a chassis he usually doesn't call it a half/kit, like I mentioned above. Only time will tell and it's definitely worth watching and not speculating further. :)

No, you just say it a lot. ;)

Haha I guess it's because I attended a school where "oh snap" and "oh shiiiii-" were the most common phrases for expressing realization, recognition, surprise, acknowledgment, and/or appreciation. :D
