December 26, 201312 yr comment_615296 Hello everyone. Can someone say by the photo it's fake or not? Parts clearly marked and not relabeled but I doubt that the parts are normal and not fake. I'm planning to use it in my BH amp instead 2SA1156. Report
December 26, 201312 yr comment_615308 could be fake or real, i cant tell from that. get the duoyi transistor tester on ebay and check max voltage Report
December 27, 201312 yr comment_615412 Got some 2SC3675 5B2 and 4C1 looks good, but not sure 7D2. All test good above 1000V+. May help to inspect these? Thanks! Report
January 6, 201412 yr comment_617204 Just an FYI, I sent a request out for a few relevant parts to tohri, their invoice indicates 2sa1486AZ - 800 pcs @ 1.80 USD 2sj79E - 3000 pcs @ 2.46 USD 2sk216-E - 2000 pcs @ 2.38 USD Stated after this quote, US$29.00 will be additionally asked as minimum handling charge to cover banking charge in case total order value is less than US$2,000.00. Seems group-buy worthy, but what do I know Edit: this quote indicates their entire stock, I'm not spritzer enough to clean them out Edited January 6, 201412 yr by nopants Report
January 6, 201412 yr comment_617214 i would buy the j79/k216 at that price but the 2sa1486az is high Report
January 7, 201412 yr comment_617364 If a GB gets going I'd like to get in for some of all three. Report
January 7, 201412 yr Author comment_617378 Aren't the 1486az the SMD part? Not that it matters for the new HV amp boards.... Report

January 7, 201412 yr Author comment_617425 Ahh that's right. What the hell is the AZ then? So good it covers all the (US) alphabet? Report
January 7, 201412 yr comment_617454 not sure, but all the Renesas ones ive seen including the ones that B&D sells are 2SA1486-AZ Report
January 7, 201412 yr Author comment_617464 That would make sense as I'm still using Nec parts. Report
January 8, 201412 yr comment_617560 you can get a better price right now from chip1stop. for 50, $0.94ea. but spend $60 and shipping is free, otherwise its $6. never bought from there before but they are linked to Arrow so it is safe Edited January 8, 201412 yr by justin Report
January 9, 201412 yr comment_617797 I'm also interested in some 2SJ79 and 2SK216. -- o -- Rodrigo Report
January 10, 201412 yr comment_618031 Hi All, First time poster here, but a long time Electrostatic Headphone/Loudspeaker appreciator. Built Kevins Triode Amp and the KGSS but dropped out of the loop before the Blue Hawaii appeared. Took me a bit to Track down where Kevin hang out. Congrats to all involved and who own them now and it was good to see Kevin still designing great Amps. Man this T2 looks Cool. Trying convince myself I don't need it but not successful. Been well and truly sucked in by the two I already have. Each one just got better. Back on topic, ive read all 3000 odd posts and there just seem one stumbling block. That is obtaining legit Semis. Does anyone have reliable sources for these, I don't mind paying higher prices, just don't want to go thru Silicon Death Valley. I know one can test with the recommended Tester(Dyuio) either way its a must but it involves buying a lot of stock. I know Lil Knight was doing a run of metal work and pCB recently but all I need is the pcb pair. How does one contact him as I see no means of pm's on the site. Thanks guys and appreciate any comments and Kevin if you reads this, im the Guy back in 2000 approx. that sent you some prototype boards for the KGSS. Les Report
January 10, 201412 yr Author comment_618050 There is a source in Japan (linked somewhere in thread) that has most, if not all the semis and we know they are legit. There is a PM function but it might be limited at first. Report
January 11, 201412 yr comment_618126 Thanks spritzer, One I found was Chip1stop.com. Havent looked at their stock. How is your unit running?. Still pleased with it. Do you Know how many have been built?. Les Report
January 11, 201412 yr comment_618129 you can get a better price right now from chip1stop. for 50, $0.94ea. but spend $60 and shipping is free, otherwise its $6. never bought from there before but they are linked to Arrow so it is safe Actually shipping cost is 60.00 https://www.chip1stop.com/web/USA/en/support.do?cat=000001&itm=000015 Too bad, as I was ready to hit the buy button for 60 pieces Report
January 11, 201412 yr comment_618130 thats odd. verical is the next best price. notice the in stock quantity will be the same as chip1stop. Edited January 11, 201412 yr by justin Report
