O2 amp parts GB, EU

[Jokener]

I have beer and Rockstar Energy drink running through my veins.
That makes science somewhat easier for me :-)

And I have just compiled both final shopping carts.
Now I'll just have to attend to the little "out of stock" problem tomorrow and its go-time.
(Just to clarify, this is nothing serious. I will check back with RocketScientist just to make sure, but it will be perfect.)

thanks for all your hard work Jokener!

[Jokener]

Don't thank me yet.
You better wait with that until your boards arrive and everything is A O.K.
I might forget how to count to 6 on my way through almost 15.000 parts.
(I'll keep the beer count down while sorting, no worries...)

And now I'm off to lunch with a nice dark malt-lager blend and Sushi.
One piece of friendly advice: Don't mock my food! ^^
Otherwise I will have to send you paper resistors and unobtanium-opamps...
I heard max output on those is horrible.

Regards,
Jokener

[Jokener]

Yeah, I know ^^
And its not like there is nothing in it for me...
A nice dinner and a couple of free O2s plus a small donation to diyaudio...
Thats all stuff I appreciate.

Any news from the transformers?

[Jokener]

not yet...

Mouser is being a little slow, too.
But the order should be processed by the end of this week, so I'll have it when the PCB's get here.

Yes, news!

I have received a quote, for 50 transformers with the following specifications:

- Cast into an IP21 plastic housing
- Primary 230 V 50 Hz, secondary 15V, 10 VA
- With 2m mains cord with two pin euro plug
- A secondary cord with no plug, about 2m

And now for the price (drum roll): 13.65 euros excls. VAT, so that would be 16.24 including VAT when ordering 50 pieces. Lead time is estimated at about 4 to 6 weeks from time of order.

It is a little over 15 euros, but I think that, as far as custom transformers go, this is about the nicest thing you can have for this price. So I think a quick decision should now be taken on whether to order the thing.

[RocketScientist]

That's very good news. It's too bad they can't put a molded 2.1mm plug on the secondary cable, but that's not a big deal. Is there any answer from Stontronics on their stock AC-1550 yet? Even if the Germans and Dutch are not crazy about the Brits, ... it seems like it could still be the lowest cost, and arguably best, solution?

[timpert]

If you can solder the board together, attaching a plug won't be a big issue. But I have just asked the transformer company about the price when a suitable plug is attached to the secondary cord. That would be the nicest, I agree.
