Heat sinks from Conrad Heatsinks

Received mine yesterday as well. Very happy with them. Thanks for organising it.

I've lost a bit of interest in building hifi at the moment, but this may re-kindle it as these lovely lumps of aluminium deserve to be used. When I signed up I was thinking of building 2 ClassA monoblocks but I haven't looked into ClassA at all yet.

My thoughts on the packaging were that it was well packaged, Conrad obviously take the packaging seriously. But I agree that the packaging was weakest in the longwise direction which is where the heatsinks could move individually if eg a hole was ripped in the end and the peanuts fell out, and where the heatsinks were less protected with bubblewrap. Hopefully Conrad will take this feedback on board.

Go on then, recommend me a dual monoblock kit that makes good use of my 4 heatsinks.

Received the ordered heatsinks today.
I ordered 20, and they arrived in 4 boxes containing 5 in each.
Two of the boxes were complete, one was a bit damaged and one was pretty messed up and had been exposed to water.
I checked all the heatsinks at the postoffice before signing for them. There was a not on the box that was damaged the most saying, Enclosure severe damaged before entering Denmark.

I must say that i'm glad that the heatsinks are okay.
But on the other hand Conrad could do a better job when packing the goodies. They used bubble plastic around the heatsinks, but not for the end's. And then ordinary newspaper around all heatsinks inside the box. Porely done, i must say.
If i did that at my work when sending electronics or an electromotor to a customer, i'm sure the customer would be pissed if his material was damaged upon arrival.

On top of it all, i had to pay 1633,- Danish Crowners in TAX


But the heatsinks are okay after all.

PS: Thanks Flodstrom
