O2 amp Australian parts GB

[dontdiewondering]

That would be nice! (so would the $)

[hochopeper]

Did he tell you there would be a second payment? Or was it just a surprise that there was 10% missing?

[dontdiewondering]

Sent a text asking about the $$ and if the 2 kits have been posted but yet to get a response.

PCB received today. Cheers, DDW.

I wonder if BF can take a moment from his very busy and important lifestyle to give you a response ddw?

In other, happier, news: there is new info out regarding oda/odac. The odac is backwards compatible and can be added inside the default B2-080 enclosure for the O2 in place of the battery supply. I might end up in the next GB after all ... I was thinking I would add a skeleton dac to my second O2 but this will fit more neatly. Perfect for an unimposing setup for my wife's desk.

Could those people owed a refund please PM me their bank details and I will start paying out the refunds. Overseas guys PayPal info. Looks like its getting very much near the end!

Hopefully the remaining parts aren't far behind

holy sh1t!

lets hope the Sun comes up tomorrow guys, i recommend you get your affairs in order

now iof he could actually do the job properly all will be right with the world..sort of...

methinks there are a few other loose ends yet, but wow..

indeed DDW you are the champion of this thread thats for sure and the way you handled things was for sure a great foil and directly disproportionate to the way BF screwed things up! kinda Zen really lol.

i'm really glad that there was a somewhat happy ending and that we didnt end up with a whole thread full of mostly new DIYA members thats first experience here was being ripped off blind

happy DIYing guys!! to be sure this will not be your last build and you never know, you might even one day end up building an amp just because its fun and sounds subjectively good and doesnt have to be the result of a flawed design; just one with a different...'objective'. distortion gets a bad wrap and i tend to want to avoid it, but it really is true that some of it sounds pretty damn good!! many of you have favorite tracks that are full of 2nd harmonic guitar or synth distortion and when you have more than one amp in the arsenal sometimes its nice for a change. i still prefer it to come from fets in a tuned and controlled manner, but hey...

Also, order 2 kits, one for myself and one for my friend. I've finish my friends one on the weekend and had little time to test it out. But all I have to say is, I'm kinda really impress with the result. Now to the head ache, I've started soldering mine unit when I noticed that I have two negative regulator MC7912ACTG and zero positive regulator left. BF sent me two of the same voltage regulator, now I can't finish my kit. Can someone help me? I'm more than happy to pay for postage and cost.

qusp mentioning loose ends reminded me about coolguy's post. I don't have any of the positive regs sitting around.

Did anyone end up with extra positive regs?

[dontdiewondering]

Still no response from BF...

I've started sending the refunds for the people who have sent their details by PM, they should be in your bank by tuesday - I'm with a credit union so it usually takes an extra day for things to happen, if you have no joy by Wednesday message me and I'll chase it up my end.

I have two kits that I haven't looked at so I can't comment about the positive regs.

Surely the ODA/ODAC GB will run better!

[coolhead]

Sorry guys, I am a bit blur. What is ODA/ODAC? Something to do with O2?

[dontdiewondering]

What I should have written for better communications is:

Neod - $40 by PayPal
Safety Dank - $40 bank transfer
Ancient Wisdon - $40 bank transfer
Mil Spec - $20 bank transfer

So that's four out of 19 refunds complete - don't be shy guys the quicker this is finished the sooner we can say it's done and put it behind us!!!
