MOX active crossover buy

[tiroth]

Thanks. It really shouldn't impact the buy, fortunately.

I've decided to rebuild this as a RAID box, because I really can't afford to have this happen ever again.

What about the extra boards i ordered ? You should have a extra external hard drive that backs up your main drive / drive's still have it back up every few days in the middle of the night just because you have raid doesn't mean you will never loose your data. I have a external hard drive that backs up at night time when i'm sleeping. In the morning when i arrive at the machine it tells me back up successful or not. maybe buy a maxtor one touch something simple with a usb2.0 or FW400.

Jleaman,

I already have your "extra" boards in hand, you'll get those along with the regular ones. I appreciate the tip.

Yes, this is what I do. I have found RAID on desktop PCs to be not so reliable. An external drive is the way to go

Opamp - $5 - 8 discrete opamp boards


Are these the opap's needed . and we get 8 op amp's for 5$ or are they just the op amp boards for the surface mount part's.?

 

[kepa1]

these are boards for discrete opamp to replace integrated opamps.

so you can use moxlite either with opamp boards or integrated ones like NE5532 for instance.

 

[tiroth]

Thanks kepa1--you beat me to it. A little more info that I had already typed:

The discrete boards are a totally optional discrete opamp design that is also compatible with MOXlite. The price includes only the boards -- enough for 8 single or 4 dual opamps. There are no surface mount parts.

I don't really recommend the discrete opamp for novices. It is (relatively) expensive, and I think time and energy would be better spent optimizing other areas. But if you want to build your own opamps, it is a nice way to try it out. The 2SK389 is hard to beat as an input stage.

Im not a novice. : O ) I have a 290$ soldering station that does SMD part's..

 

[kepa1]

tiroth, i was almost about to say that too (just kidding)

 

[tiroth]

I'm jealous -- someday perhaps I will invest in a proper SMD rework setup. Please don't take offense then -- I just wanted to set your and others' expectations properly about the project.

Dear Tiroth

I just sent you money for 6 Moxlite.

Thanks a lot for your work!

Having the tools and having the skills are two totally different things.

Tell me Jason are you still looking for a decent soldering iron for conventional work? I priced a model out for $89 CAD that has great potential.

[jleaman]

I'd like to pay for the dac's too : O )

 

[tiroth]

These are probably great buys:

I have one of the cheap Chinese ones that MPJA sells...I think it is fine. A nice selection of cheap tips available.

 

[tiroth]

The order is in! There were a total of 87 orders. I'll be donating at least $1 a board to DIYaudio once I get I verify the orders are correct.

I should receive the boards on or before May 20th. The annual is coming.

I've ordered additional boards, so I'll continue to accept orders as long as I have boards available. Thanks everyone.

 

[jleaman]

Right on. Can't wait for my stuff : O )

Hi Tiroth,
thanks for all the effort, sounds like everyone else voted with their cheque books. Well done in spite of those tribulations.
