FRED's are very nice devices and the device of choice when modifying or building power supplies in Digital devices like CD players, DAC's or any other Digital device. I am using them simply because I have several dozen of them in stock.
I am not convinced that they would show the benefit in a simple analogue Preamp over a good Ultra Fast though.
In answer to the cutting corner question, no corners have been cut per se, all the parts I have chosen were for a value/performance choice. Members who want to go mental on this build would obviously not go this kit route. That said this is not an economy build by a long means, it is definately a premium to high perfomance build.

See here for some Caps in sets of six for the PSU.

I'm not sure we closed on this topic of a schematic as laid out on the board?

Well I am swimming in Dale RN60D resistors and assorted other parts now. The last of the orders will go out to digikey soon and then I will be all set to start kitting. The only delay will be the R-Core transformers, they are being wound at the factory and will be ready to ship in two weeks. I opted for Surface shipping as that was $180 US as opposed to $500 by Air. I am planning on waiting for my Boards to arrive from Kari so I can test fit the parts and do any fine tuning if required.
I mentioned I ordered a Holco V-03 Balanced volume control and input select for my preamp. I spoke to Johnny at CLUBDIYBiz and he offered me a 10% discount if I order 10 or more and have them shipped with the order in two weeks.
if you are interested you should PM me. You have to have access to Pay Pal for instant payment or even better be able to use eMoney transfers fron you on-line account. Unfortunately I will pay 15% tax coming into Canada so if you are outside Canada you are beter off going direct. I do not expect much will come of this, but I wanted to make an effort anyway.

Glad to hear everything is going well, Anthony. I would have been in on the relay attenuator as well, but I just received my complete input, display and attenuation package from Mikkel, his diyAudio thread is here. It is absolutely excellent, well thought out, complete and of terrific quality...it was a pleasure corresponding with him as well. The total price was very reasonable for a kit of such quality. I can hardly wait to implement it.

I placed the Digikey order today, the only thing left to procure are the Heatsinks.
There is only 9 days left to pay the invoices for pre payment. As a gentle reminder, if the funds are not recieved to my Pay Pal account by then, your orders will be cancelled. Sorry for the timeline, but I have a schedule to keep and I intend to stick to it.

I inquired about a group buy for Mikkel's relay attenuator kit. He's willing to give price breaks (the discount is proportional to amount of boards ordered, of course). I'm willing to do the purchasing and distributing.
The wait shouldn't be too long, it seems like he has most parts on hand. He also carries a terrific input kit with balanced and single ended I/O's as well as control boards, displays, front panel controls, remotes and transformers...I purchased a complete set of kits for less than $300-- that's two relay att kits, an I/O kit, control board kit, blue backlit display, rotary encoders and transformer . I assembled them yesterday and everything is very well thought out and of very high quality.
I'll start an off-shoot thread for the GB tomorrow. Anybody want to help with the WIKI?

Here is an update on the Parts GB, I sent gengis the funds for the Heatsinks tonight, he will be shipping tomorrow. They should arrive in a week or two.
Only 3 people have not paid as yet:
RKH
Jean
Ruben.
If the remaining members would pay ASAP and not leave it to the last possible minute, I would appreciate the alacrity. If you do not intend to go through with the GB then please kindly notify before you default out of the GB.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Hi,
the boards are on their way. I have received a sample of the boards. My pcb fab always sends a sample for me to approve before production.
Doing a GB with excel, diyaudio nick and paypal is really hard. All you that did not receive a so called invoice and others that want to have some of these pcb's, don't worry. My web page is soon up and boards will be sold there for non profit. I will also start buy batches of 50 boards and anyone can order them from the webpage. These are "sold" for NON profit and invoices + shipping charges from my pcb fab can be shown upon request.
Thx,
Kari
