Fredlock I am choosing board houses so PCB price is not known yet as I have not yet tested protos. Its going to be very cheap though.

Uriah,

Will it be possible to quote the board price and give us all another chance before placing the order? At the rate this is developing, you might get orders for TWO hundred boards, if that has any impact on price. I myself might be interested in a spare board if they're cheap enough. It certainly won't add to the shipping cost, and it's good isurance, just in case something disastrous happens while building. It would be a terrible shame to end up with a compromised or useless board, a bunch of parts, one finished beautiful amp, and nowhere to get another.

Perhaps you could bump the price of boards by a modest amount so you could order and keep a few spares on hand, the cost shared by all of us. I wouldn't mind.

I would still like to know what everyone intends to do with all these extra boards they're ordering.

Peace,
Tom E

What to do?
For me the extra boards are in case I decide I want addt'l working amps at some point and none are available. Like the last time I tried to get this kit. I would just order 8 kits right now, but cant swing the addt'l funds this close to Christmas.

Hi Udailey,

I will confirm my 2 extra boards. I'm planning to order 5 but i'm hesitating. Thanks for the follow up.

Let us know the price of the pcb once you get the price qoute before ordering. There might more interest in adding extra pcbs if its affordable.

Thanks,

I was in the middle of replying and my internet connection crashed. Then I was rewiring a power supply for a regular LM3886 and switched + and - around. Cracked the chip right open. What a night. Still, it motivates me to get other amps hooked up Been listening to the little chippy for quite some time now and while the repair would be easy maybe its time for the F5 to meet its heatsink .

PCBs: PCB cost is covered in the kit of course. Extra PCB should be around $8 each. If I use the Malaysian folks that should be the price. I should be able to get my first glimpse of boards tomorrow. They have no silk and no mask so that the price of protos would be lower. I should post a pic for you guys.

I will take 4 extra pcbs.. damn this is getting more expensive by the minute! lol

[noodle]

Just to make it easier on the noobies, at some point could a suggested list of materials and source to finish the amp be posted here, i.e. what amp and where they got it, etc.

Thanx a lot.
So I'll wait until the orders are payed. If there are some canceld orders I will be very interest.

Have a nice week
