Hello David:
Do you have a reasonable source for those lovely heatsinks. I was hoping to get some with a recent group buy, but things appear to have fallen off the rails with group buy.
Any help would be appreciated.

Here's a picture of my A30 with the Conrad heat sinks: My 1st Aleph Amp

Conrad products are well made, low cost, and have a powder coated finish rather than anodized. The finish will stay black forever rather than aging to a blue color over time with high heat.

The heat sink is actually 350mmx151.5 rather than 151.1 as quoted earlier. The part number is MF35-151.5, and located at the bottom of this page: http://www.conradheatsinks.com/produ...at100_350.html

I'd call Conrad rather than emailing them for faster service. Shipment by Aussie Post took a week to get to California.

The Bergquist Silicone Elastomer pads are available from Digikey, and far better than mica and does not require any goop.

Good luck on your build,

-David
