"The Wire" Ultra-High Performance Headphone Amplifier - PCB's

[Spacehead]

I would like to try this out too. Are there any PCBs, SE-SE?

 

[ilardi]

I am still in. I would like to change my order to 1 SE-SE kit and 1 PSU kit.

Thanks for doing this.

SE-SE Stereo Kit x 2
BAL-SE Stereo Kit x 2
PSU Kit x4
SE-SE pcb x 2
BAL-SE pcb x 2
PSU pcb x4

Can I use BAL-SE kit for SE input as well by wiring up another jack? On the same note BAL-BAL kit can do both BAL and SE output at the same time?

earmark 2 x psu pcbs for me too Owen if you could, i'll use for the power amp input

2 x bal-bal pcb
2 x psu pcb

 

[heinz1]

I am in for 1 BAL-BAL PCB and one PSU PCB.

Previously, I opted for two BAL-BAL PCBs (and PSU PCBs) but I shall go out for your power amp, too.

Thanks very much!

Hey Owen,

I'd be in for a stereo BAL-BAL board and a PSU board.
But you really need to state (and preferably display) board size and physical properties.

Thanks,
Sebastian.

Hi Owen

I m still in for SE-SE kit + PSU kit

thanks

Heinz, if you are going for the power amp, you should get 2 extra psu pcbs here, the amp is designed to use this psu for the input stage regulated supply and will stack, or rather sit underneath on the edge.

Hi Owen,

Thanks for all your efforts. I would like to increase from one to three Bal-Bal boards. no need here for parts or psu.

Please let us know how to send payment.

many thanks, qusp, for your advice; I'll update accordingly:

BAL-BAL PCB: 1
PSU PCB: 3

Hi Guys,

Thanks to all who have updated their orders! I sent out a note to those I haven't heard from, so hopefully I get the list fully up to date shortly.

I've attached an updated list which include everything up to this post. Anyone who has confirmed is in bold black font, and anyone I have yet to hear from is in red.

I'll get the layouts for each amp posted this evening along with sizes.

Cheers,
Owen

Hi Owen,

Since the PSU PCB offered here can also be used as the regulated supply for "The Wire AMP", can you add 4x PSU PCBs to my request? So, in total:

1 SE-SE kit
1 BAL-BAL kit
2 BAL-SE PCB
2 SE-SE PCB
2 BAL-BAL PCB
4 PSU PCB

Thanks again!

Hi Owen,

I will update my order to

1 x BAL-SE
1 x BAL-BAL

thx

Hi Owen,
Please put me down for the following

1 x SE-SE pcb
3 x PSU pcb

Thanks

Hey Owen,

Gonna change mine up a bit.

1 BAL-SE Kit
3 PSU Kit (one for the wire headphone amp, 2 the the wire power amp)

Thanks Guys!

The list has been updated and I'll post the updated list tomorrow when I hear from a few more people.

I'm starting to get the layout screenshots together slowly, so we'll start with the SE-SE PCB. It will be 2.25" x 1.25" in size which makes it a great candidate for portable applications. The bolt holes are at:

125, 125 mils
125, 1125 mils
2125, 125 mils
2125, 1125 mils

There are components on the front and back of the board, but the components on the back are not visible in the screenshot.

Grounds between channels are isolated, but you can connect them at the output or the input side of the board via 0R jumpers. PSU inputs are setup for dual mono, but can be run of a single PSU if desired.

The other amps will follow as I put on the finishing touches.

Cheers,
Owen

Hello Owen:

I change my order to 1x SE-SE kit, 1x BAL-SE kit plus 2x PSU kits.

Thank you so much for all the hard work!

PS: I also sent you a PM with a question regarding the earlier run of The Wire.
