Heatsinks in Canada

davidallancole · 17th August 2006, 03:35 PM

I searched all over this forum and the net, but I can not find any suppliers for good sized heatsinks in Canada. Do any of you Canadian builders out there have a good source?

Anybody else?

If you can live with non-eloxed heatsinks, then for me the best solution was to find a dealer of industrial or off-the-factory alu-profiles, they usually have some standard heatsink types in stock and they will cut it for you.

I don't understand.

There is a guy in Michigan, who works for a foundry. he sells heatsinks on ebay.

he is allowed to run the foundry hardware in his own time and creates and sells many heatsinks on ebay.

BEST prices on the planet.

search him out.

eloxing means anodizing, matt black layer on alu
non-eloxed = bare alumium

Let me tell you this:

this guy I mention, his quality is as good as anything that can be bought, period.

And, his pricing is so good, that as a manufacturer, if I was going to buy heatsinks, I wouldn't go offshore, I wouldn't go to wakefield, I'd go to this guy.

Seriously.

I'm talking about enough anodized black heatsink to do a pair of 200 watt single ended Pass monoblocks, for $50-75. max.
