October 5, 200916 yr comment_282823 Never got off the semi... On thursday its coming on a truck with a lift gate. Will drop it in the driveway, then i get to take the boxes inside myself. Looks like all the metal pieces together will end up about 40 lbs per amp. Report

October 5, 200916 yr comment_282933 I can see me having to install supports in the base of my desk O.o I don't think Ikea had a Gilmorized T2, beta22 stack, and computer in mind when they designed this piece of shit. Report
October 5, 200916 yr comment_282970 Well all the resistors and caps showed up today. I'm glad to report that all the parts for the amp board are the sizes they are supposed to be, and the holes are the right diameter. Neutrik connector really was the right diameter because they are flat blades not round. Will check the power supply board later today. Soon this project is going to take over the house. Anyone know where craig gets his rubber/metal feet with the #10 screws?? I kind of like those, as i plan on 4 of them, not 3 because the thing is going to be so heavy. Report

I'm glad to report that all the parts for the amp board are the sizes they are supposed to be, and the holes are the right diameter. Neutrik connector really was the right diameter because they are flat blades not round. What version of the BOM did you use? Vishay resistors or my rather nutty collection from PCX? Anyone know where craig gets his rubber/metal feet with the #10 screws?? I kind of like those, as i plan on 4 of them, not 3 because the thing is going to be so heavy. Those do look nice and good show for not using cones. I hate those... Report
October 5, 200916 yr comment_283000 Just standard RN60 dales... That does not concern me, i know the exact sizes. Its the 1 and 3 watt resistors that i wanted to be sure of. Report
October 8, 200916 yr comment_283950 I have officially joined the ranks of the completely over the top and then some... (346 lbs) http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/hspile.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/hsindividual1.jpg Front and back should be here tomorrow/monday... Then the tops and bottoms. Report
October 9, 200916 yr Author comment_284145 That pile won't last long though. 4 units needed per amp and all that... Report
October 9, 200916 yr comment_284186 Don't forget the giant Hollywood fan each owner will need to blow air over the heatsinks. Report
October 9, 200916 yr comment_284204 Actually i was thinking of hiring a couple of has been fanboys... Afterall, they have nothing else to do now... Have pretty firm pricing on the heatsinks with machining, and the angle pieces, will post soon. Report

October 9, 200916 yr comment_284219 Has(always)been fan boy – check! Time on hands – check! Skilz for this level of build – Fail. Is there a Meta version? Report
October 9, 200916 yr comment_284231 Actually i was thinking that tuberoller would be the best to supply ventilation... Although i really had two other "HAS BEEN" fat fan boys in mind There are definitely some current fanboys that might work... Tomato comes to mind. Report
October 9, 200916 yr comment_284254 Ah, but would it be as good as a jamato/vcoheda balanced fan? Report
October 9, 200916 yr comment_284271 I don't know I'm pretty sure old Tubez-of-fun outweighs the twins combined. Report
October 14, 200916 yr comment_285576 So as we all know the amphenol stax connectors are less than ideal, and the real stax ones are generally unobtainable. so i got these guys to sell me just the pins from these sockets CMC--Teflon Tube socket and i evidently got the measurements right on the first try. (well to .0001 anyway) http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxc1.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxc2.jpg Was thinking of a dual stax connector made out of some crazy hard wood. Need to find the electrical impedance of hardwoods... Anyone know?? If i can get some more machine time this week i should have a finished amp chassis by saturday.
