Burning Amplifier BA-2

[flg]

Any new info regarding the board purchasing status? Thx.

OK, the BA-1 and BA-2 boards are available at the "Secret" diyAudio store just for you wanting Burning Amps!

The diyAudio Secret Store

The thing to keep in mind is that the boards are "beta" for now because no one has completed an amp.

So there is a slight chance that there will be issues with some aspect of the boards. If so, it should be easy to fix, as the boards are modular so that everything wouldn't have to be replaced if there is some tremendous issue with one of them. If there is a big problem we will replace the defective boards, if it is just a matter of a jumper wire and cutting a trace, or bending leads to insert them, then that won't be considered a serious defect.

If you aren't willing to be a pioneer, we suggest that you wait for the go-ahead once an amp of the model that you want is proven.

On the other hand, we want people to build some, so for the 2 first amps of each type that are reported to work, with posted photo documentation , we will give the member who makes them store credit for the cost of the boards towards any future purchase. So the boards would be pretty much free for those that make the first 2 amps of each type.

Looking forward to the reports. And please post here if there is a problem with the store.

thanks variac .......

O.K. Thanks!

I ordered one set BA-1 and some boards of BA-2. Ordering went fine, but sometimes after pushing the "put to basket button" there was an information of a fault, doing it again, it worked fine. (Browser Safari/Mac OSx 10.6)

I ordered some. You have to add to the cart it seems twice, Once from the front page, and then on the specific part(s) your buying. No biggie, but may not be right.

Keep us informed. I'll forward to JAson who whipped the store into shape. The voltage gain board is the same for both amps, and the people with a Burning Amp Festival chassis don't need the output boards. The voltage gain boards will fit in the chassis from the Burning Amp Festival, verticall right behind the front faceplate, but Nelson recommends that it be in a separate box for the small chassis, but if you are clever you could get it in there - smaller format power supply caps would help a lot..Having the voltage gain board outboard in any of the amps increases S/N and makes swapping out the board easier if another gainstage design comes along

In the article papa says that here is no need to have so many output devices - most would be ok with two or three pairs. If you want to use 6 pairs, you can order double the number of output boards.

Board outlines. For those trying to find components that match the footprints, here are the outlines of BA-2.

Please let me know if there are errors in the pdfs.

Thanks for the store beta test

Yes, it's because the set is a "configurable product" but with only 1 configuration option. Magento is a bit funny like that, I've kind of used a hack to enable this. Thanks for the feedback.

Also, I don't think store email sending was working. That should be fixed now.
