IXTH20N50D Depletion Mode Mosfet Group Buy

[Tea-Bag]

I am opening a thread for a group buy based on NP demonstration of a Depletion Mode Mosfet amp demonstrated at BA2009 that I thought sounded pretty good. The amp has no name yet, and is still a design in progress. But I thought I would get ahead ofthings and open up this thread to DISCUSS the AMP and the group buy. It's a minimum order of 60 at Digikey, and that would make about 30 amps, assuming nobody blew one. I would like to get this to a 100 units or more, and close the GB around X-MAS time.

If I run the group buy, I will likely charge an extra buck or two per FET for a DIYAudio donation, charge $5 shipping USD unless you order a lot, won't offer matching, and will write the value of the mosfet on a custom form if it's going overseas.

OK put me down

Here is a spreadsheet I will use to track for those who want in. No Wiki for me.

I'm just an enabler. you must put yourself down

An important logistics update. I talked with Digikey customer service. These must be ordered in mulitples of 60. So it may behove me/us to make order runs once the 60 is met, then run another once the second 60 is met. Make sense?

That sounds very reasonable to me. I added myself to your spreadsheet.

Thanks,

This thread may be of interest, too, although not an NP design.

I would hope you don't, or at least reconsider that idea. Not that I don't want to donate to diyAudio but, that I want about 20 devices and that raises the price of ea. device substatially by forcing me to donate $20-$40 at Christmas time? Now I understand where your coming from with "willingness to put the money on the table" in the other J2 post. I would hope that you would at least be donating my $40 in my name and not yours?

It will likely be 15-16 a pair.
Flg, your more than willing to take over the GB and charge less.

But I am interested in small fee to keep Diyaudio running, and by an extra few to have available in case someone blows one up.
