I will ge them at a price where they will cost what RN55D do in small quantity. They are part of the premiuim kit on the GB sheet. If you want them asa part of the standard kit, just specify this to the side.

I respectfully reserve the right to not having a clue to what I have signed up for , hopefully no animals nor fets were harmed while Making these decisions...


I'm lost ..

PM me with any questions and I will do my best to clarify. I am offering kits to go with the fets and diodes I am selling. I judt thought it would be nice to have most of the stuff coming from a single source. You'll save a decent amount of money just on shipping. I will also be offering TeaBags' boards with my kit as well. THey are what I will be using and I should have a working prototype to OOH AAH at this weekend. It will be a bigger version of the amp in the picture. Lets face it, nobody cares how they look, right.

Is there a 'Build your own F5T for dummies ?' LOL

Most likely looking at the premium V3 two channel kit + FQAs (how many do I need ?) + whats the deal with the MURs ??

Are there any PCBs for this anywhere ??

For stereo V3, you will need two quads of the FQA fets. You will also need 20 of the diodes. I have kept these seperate formthe kits because folks are buying extr for other things and because of matching service. The kits will haev all that you need except intangables like RCA jacks, binding post, IEC outlets. They willinclude what is needed to fill the pcb. I am offering TeaBags boards with my kits. I like his layout better, just my opinion. The store has PSU boards if needed, or you can etch your own. Any other questions, send me a PM or email.

Ok so push all 3 buttons for BF F5V3 ......

THe kit includes the components, not the boards. They will be added for those who want them. As they are in beta testing, the final price is unknown. That should be resolved shortly. This allows flexibility for those who want other board types. There is not PSU board planned by TeaBag, but we have talked about it. THere are two options in that regard. The store PSU board and Brian GT PSU boards at chipamp.com. I may try to talk TeaBag into some PSU boards, but that is 100%, his call.

Soon to be F5T V3. This will be where i take measurements for beta build using TeaBag's boards. Hopefully everything should be mounted this weekend.

Cool...Im waiting before I put my name down. Buzz, you think this would be too much of a DIY project for me since I have never built anything yet? I have the skills as far as soldering and such...just not anything else.

The F5 is one of the easiest builds i have ever done. V3 might be a bit much, but I am sure folks can walk you through the project. It is your call.

Couple of things. I think it my be worth considering changing the PRP resistors for Welwyn R55y. They are superior in noise performance to the PRP and there is evidence that the PRP are inconsistent on some level. I may get both and offer Welwyn as option. Also, V3 folks need to consider dual supply. I missed this in the article but it was suggested by Nelson. I think the main reason is heat, but the extra capacitance doesnt hurt. I have 22000 uF cps, so i didn't thin about it. I will change the price sheet to reflect extra PSU components. Here is the article about resistor noise.

The Welwyn are down there with ZFoil resistors S102

What about just getting a good deal on some Dale RN60? Although a common part, they are a fantastic resistor. If they are good enough for production units...

[buzzforb]

The standard kit will have the Dale's. I was talking premium.

Ah. Sorry. Thanks!
