F5T Premium kit GB

[mordikai]

I would like the panasonics until the fukushimas are available--I'm very anxious to start. I don't mind paying additional shipping. I know the main boards were not included in the group buy, but the psu boards were, correct?

thanks again,

[buzzforb]

The PSU boards were included in the kit price if you signed up for them. The only variable was the main board.

They are highly recommended.

I am OK with waiting for the Fukishima too. I still have to source all the other expensive items like transformers and chasis etc. So not in a big hurry to start.

Thank you again, Buzz

I have added my name to the list for the Fairchild MOSFETs. Are you still taking orders for them? If so, where may I be able to find the payment and price info? Somewhere on this thread?

Man, you scaring me

considering the electricity price and how much these things eat, this is probably my last class A amp, so everything should be chosen wisely

Do not get sucked into the electricity bull. Over hear, you always hear that gas heat is most effcient. This is tru from a pure efficiency standpoint. What they dont tell you, is that even thought it is more efficient at heating, it cost a lot more to use. Most people hum along feeling good about efficiency while the nat gas guys are laughing all the way to the bank. They are coming out with new gas/electric hybrid heaters over here now that run on electric for low power heat and swicth to gas when you need grunt. People are paying off multi thousand dollar purchase in two and three years with the savings. There is so much BS in the whole effciency/green energy discussion,it is hard to even move. Most of it is just a sales pitch to get you to buy something that puts more money in somebody's pocket. Think about repalcing gas cars with battery operated ones and ask scientist what dumping millions of tons of old, used, high tech batteries into the soil would do. You dont hear that though. Sorry for OT rant

I changed my heating from oil to bi -energy and getting $.041 per KW rate. (read: four point one cents per kilowatt) Saved me about 3k per year in heating.

So bring on those class A amps and let the sounds begin

[buzzforb]

exactly.

I also can wait for the Fukishimas – I am keeping busy with the DCB1.

I don't really, just kidding. However, this well may be my last F5xxx amp, as by the time I'll finish it, I expect a few higher versions to be released
