excelent work.... a nice contribution to our forum friends.

You should be proud.

When Nordic indicates he will ship would be the time for US shipping fees to be forwarded.

Thanks to all.

I think they should start then, I need maybe one more day to sort the components.

Can't wait to build mine.

I've been sorting through resistors now for more than 13 hours.

Ed,

can you shoot us an email with your paypal link when the time is right?

Nordic said he redesigned the PCB to take 35mm caps (post #266).
He must have forgotten, which is understandable as he is very busy, with a lot on his mind.

edit: sorry, my mistake - I thought C1 and C2 were the main reservoir caps.

Hi guys sorry for the confusion, I thought he was talking about the amp's caps, the PSU is 35mm snap in elcos.

Sounds like "green light go"

Thanks guys...I was asking about the amp's C1-C2 caps, indeed...

Nordic · 1st November 2007, 06:10 PM

Yes Ed, it does.

Some notes;

I supplied both 0r22 and 18R for the output, if your crossover is not too complicated, first try just the 0r22 on the output. If it sounds dull like someone keeping a cushion over the speaker, do the following, bridge the position of this resistor onboard, then used the 18R in parralel with a large inductor in series with the speaker out. The binding post would be a solid connection point....

Also, I pre-adjusted the trimpots, so they are tested and ready for installation, following the silkscreen screw position. They are in plastic antistatic cases to protect them.

They should require no/little adjustment, but instructions will be available as soon as I had a day to breathe after this.

If you ordered the resistor kits and allready have the caps on hand, assembly should take 30 minutes to an hour, as you won't have to sort through strings and bags, they come in a booklet form.

If I knew a groupbuy would involve so much work, I would have worked a profit margin in.

After the groupbuy I will have to adjust the prices, it was an honour to be able to share this amp with you guys, but at some point it will have to become profitable so I can pay my fair share of advertising dues here on DIY audio. The moderators have been most generous thus far.

PSU PSU PSU

I will add the PSU PCB's to the online catalog just now after eating.

If you want it to ship seperately, select the PSU from the catalog,
then the price will be $9.99 per PSU pcb + $7.5 shipping

if you want it to ship with your current order choose Misc. on the catalog, I have only figured out how to do flatrate mail charges on the catalog so far, it will show as $2.49, but the checkout will add $7.50 "shipping", which will make up the $9.99 price.

To order two PSU pcbs select Misc. x 2, this will be $11.48 before the $7.50 is added.

The PSU is pretty universal, and can also be used with gainclones etc.
