December 12, 200916 yr comment_304890 So the real solution here is to send all the boards to Justin and have him do the assembly? Sounds like a plan... I think that justin's board stuffing rates have just gone up. I wonder if he would accept $100 an hour for this kind of pain Report
December 12, 200916 yr Author comment_304891 Sounds reasonable. I'll probably spend that much just on customs fees for the parts... Report
December 13, 200916 yr comment_305238 What is Iceland's threshold for import tax? Australia's is aud$1000 which seems like a lot until you actually try to import something audio related Report
December 13, 200916 yr Author comment_305257 No threshold and roughly 70% tax on anything audio related. Report
December 14, 200916 yr comment_305366 Gah that's pretty bad... Maybe you can lie and say that your building a replica soviet era coffee maker? =) Report

December 16, 200916 yr comment_306136 Looking good. Holy cow that is a big board, gotta question if that would even fit my flip rack. Report
December 16, 200916 yr comment_306142 Front feet to back feet about 13.5 inches Chassis front to chassis back 16.75 Report
December 16, 200916 yr Author comment_306146 I also get some sick pleasure for reusing SP crapola in my amps. The latest prototype has filament wiring, terminal strips and capacitor clamps all rescued from the ES-1. Report
December 17, 200916 yr comment_306196 Looking good. Holy cow that is a big board, gotta question if that would even fit my flip rack. Shit I hope so, that was kind of the plan when the rack makes its way home next year. Report
December 17, 200916 yr comment_306203 Nate, its gonna be close, not sure it will work. The 16.5" part is OK, but it better not be any more than about 10.5" in the other dimension. Report
December 17, 200916 yr comment_306287 The boxes are 16.5 deep and 15.5 wide ! Bottom feet are at about 10 inches x 13.5 inches. When you see the power supply stuffed, you will know why it has to be this big. Report
December 17, 200916 yr Author comment_306291 Hell look at the cramped T2 and see why it has to be this big. Report
December 18, 200916 yr comment_306806 power supply boards just arrived. and all other parts are on order (i think) (i certainly hope so) Report
December 18, 200916 yr comment_306816 After the prototype is done and working, i will send 5 sets of chassis parts to be finished, then order some more front/back material as i only have enough of that for the first 8 units. If you want some other color than black, i can ship you the stuff unfinished and you can find someone to finish it to your liking. For those that want a jump start, i can sell board sets now... But really i don't need any money till i'm ready to ship stuff. Report
December 23, 200916 yr comment_308273 Anyone know of rational pricing on wire?? Want 11 different colors, each 20awg, 600volt or cable with 15 wires in it, each 20awg 600volt each amp would use about 10 feet total of 15 wires... Report
December 23, 200916 yr Author comment_308295 For 22AWG/600V this is hard to resist (I've ordered 3 times already), they also have a 18AWG listing. Report
