  • Did some work on mocking up the chassis and getting into a more listenable state. I will need to get aluminum top/bottom and rear panels for this (not using the steel ones that it came with). I'm also

  • Finally got around to casing this (also posted in the What are you building thread. Needs a bit of wiring cleanup, and the transformer needs to get bolted down, but sounds great.  

  • Got both boards up and running with mods 1 and 2 above. Ran RMAA on it at 150mA, 100mA and 75mA bias. I think 150mA is probably the best. See what any of you think of the plots attached. Als

My "?" is because I really don't know what/where I will be in the next couple of months. If I don't have to move I should be able to help out a lot. If this comes down before/during/after my move I won't be able to do much.

It would probably be a good idea to do a group buy for all the front and rear panels. Bulk discount plus it will make case work a bit easier.

Naaman,

Agreed 100% on the machined panels idea. I was really happy with the service that I got from Cam Expert and it's really a no-brainer if you can supply the material and only have to pay for the fab work.

Also depending on what people want this thing to do a I/O board with all the back panel connectors PCB mounted could also make production much easier.

Sounds good to me, although I not sure I'm ready to offer casework skills since I don't want one. But I could always just send the assembled pcbs to someone else. :)

I'm going to tentatively draw the line at the following:

10 amp chassis

42 part kits

50 boards

Time to check the part bin.... er storage closet :)

edit: can someone please check my math / read back through the thread and see if this sounds okay?

Nate, Naaman, Marc & others, any kind of educated guess as to cost of a balanced version?

One set of balanced inputs, single 4 pin balanced output...nothing too crazy.

As Nate said, oh frack it:

  • luvdunhill - 8 - 4
  • Asr - 0 - 4
  • Stretch - 0 - 4
  • looser101 - 4 -2
  • PFKMan23 - 0 - 4
  • Naamanf -? - 4
  • Icarium - 0 - 4
  • Dreadhead - 0 - 4
  • n_maher - 4 - 0
  • Digipete - [8-12] - 4
  • Pars - [8-12] - 2

Willing to help build, match parts, etc.

Anyone have a BOM for this? I notice one on Headwize done in Google docs, but it seems to need updating (which I can do??).

Any reason you left me off?

[*]grawk - 4 - 4

I'll want parts, boards, chassis, panels, etc.

Maybe $1250-$1500 for 4-channel build? I think we need to work a BOM based on the above quantities and go from there. I will try and get some hard quotes on semiconductors tomorrow. Perhaps Pars can take a crack at the various and sundry other items.

DigiPete: What did your Dynamight build cost? I'd say an extra 20% on top of that.

I am so gonna get one of those cases, a Dynafet will very probably be well out of my pricerange because I do have to ask... very sheepishly.

As others have indicated, those of us with no knowledge of such things don't even have a general ball park figure to work from and without some rough guesstimation of cost, it's hard to commit.

*edit*

Ah, yep that price is well above my threshold. :(

That is well within my budget. I would like a case and all the other group buy frills as well :)

That estimate is actually quite a bit less than I anticipated. I have no friggin' idea what the heck I'd do with a Dynafet and a Beta22, but the sickness is strong, because I still want one.

I'll try my hardest to rechannel that urge into something really sensible like HD 800s.

There is no way that I could feasibly participate or contribute to this, but will watch with GREAT interest :)

Though if there is any scope for me to jump in on IO boards like naamanf made for his B22 builds, I would definitely give that some serious consideration......

man..... I stopped keeping track... but $800-900 would not be out of the ball park [DIY cost]

heh.. I was curious what you'd guys would say to that. Anyways, Pars and I will work offline to come up with part cost. Stay tuned.

Also watching... this is the state of the art, after all.

Bad pictures taken during build phase, but shows the scope of what I did

Am I the only one not seeing anything?
