Cheers,
Chris

Merry Christmas.

All we need is for Peter to pay for his 30 and we are on.

Just spoke with Theresa and paid my order.
She said ship date would likely be January 17

 

[moe29]

will it be to late if i call on Monday to place order?

 

[Peter Daniel]

It's never too late.

I didn't call them yet either.

 

[grataku]

Never say never Peter, I think Theresa said one week to collect all the info.
As far as I know since we already broke through the 100 barrier she might have charged us already for the 51 bucks instead of the $49 we would pay for 250 pieces. Although I told her we have requests for around 270 pieces, I didn't expressly told her to wait for 250 before charging the credit cards, in retrospect that that was my bad. Now while that may mean only 16 CAD for me it may mean 60 CADs for you.

 

[Peter Daniel]

So now you know why I'm waiting.

I am from Weert

Peter thank you for organizing this. Are there other lengths available, I see these guys asking for over the 11 inch offer.

[grataku]

No, I don't. You won't be able to make 250 additional pieces and even if you do, you would still be paying more than if a new quote for 350 was to be drawn up. Plus you are going to have a bunch of people that are going to be pissed because they paid more than others.

 

[ststone]

Relax this is not a business

work, work, work...

 

[Peter Daniel]

I'm waiting because some local people asked me if I be able to buy for them 2 pcs. in order to avoid handling fee. I don't care for extra saving on 200 or 300 pcs more. But I also know that untill Tuesday or Wednesday next week everybody should make their minds and make a payment so they don't stop the production. We are all in this together, right?

And it's not $49, but more like $50 for 250 pcs.

Shipping for Toronto Locals?

Peter, I am wondering if any arrangements are being made for people in the Toronto area interested in these heatsinks. I think I heard you mention something about having a 2-ton van?
If at all possible, I would love to avoid the shipping and handling charges! Please let me know what I should do. Thanks again for making this purchase possible!

If you are ordering 3 or more heatsinks you qualify for minimum order of $150 and if you pick them up yourself from R-Theta you only pay both taxes and no handling fee. In this case you have to call Theresa and pay with credit card.
If you want only 2 heatsinks and are able to pick them from me (Mississauga) I can buy them for you, but you have to prepay your order.

 

[ungie]

That's great Peter.
Thanks for the info!
One more question, if I may.
You posted some pics earlier on of the amps that you built using this same heatsink. Could you elaborate on what they are, if they are stereo amps or monoblocs, and what sort of power output they are capable of. I would like to build a version of the Aleph-X that is capable of around 100W into 4 ohms. Thanks for your help!

Andrew

 

[Peter Daniel]

Those amps were monoblocks and first I built A75 using those heatsinks. Later I converted one of the A75 pair into a pair of Aleph Xs. If you use two of those heatsinks per channel you would be able to get around 100W into 4 ohms. Just don't go above 15V on rails.

 

[ststone]

Size does matter

Peter, are there other lengths available ??

 

[Peter Daniel]

Other lenghts are available, but you have to discuss the details personally with Theresa. What I know is that $25 setup fee applies, plus price adjustment for different length. I still think that adjustment would be based on our original quote, but I can't confirm it.

Hi! Peter count me in for 4 pieces email me if this is o.k.

 

[ststone]

It's small but it will do

Thanks for the reply I will update the "wiki" page accordingly

 

[Peter Daniel]

Hi! Peter count me in for 4 pieces email me if this is o.k.

It's out of my hands now. You should call Theresa. I also think that we should agree on some sort of cutoff date and everybody interested should make the payment before that day.
