Hi Quanghao,

Can we please have an updated list so those that have paid know you have received payment.

Then can you update as to where you are with regards order od boards and expected delivery to you.

Then I will be much more happy (along with rest on the list) that this is going to happen.

I then can start getting other parts together also. (Valves etc)

Regards

LOBOONE

So far this is the cheapest option i have seen. I still have to contact the seller on shipping cost for 4 to 8 units.

NOS NEW Siemens "POST" tube D3a 7721 Pentode - eBay (item 130391572872 end time May-21-10 13:15:00 PDT)

Anybody have cheaper options?

If you use a socket adapter 9pin to 9 pin and adapting the setup you could use Russian 6s3p-ev EC86, or 6c45p (to try). 6s3p is very low noise triode. D3a is not the only tube with those characteristics. For this project should be ok because low noise device has first priority. However I tested D3a and 6cxx tubes as two stage single unit driver for 2a3 amplifier and I find the sound pretty unpleasant, sound stage very confused: straight sound due to high transconductance.

I´ve bought there, I think he has the best prices for this tubes, buying together with other tubes, he made till a good discount.
Who want´s to deal direct with him, here is his mail: info@audiotubes.de, his name is Heinz.
He also have good connections to good old German tubes like TFK...

Second question IRF9160 , anybody have a supplier/equivalent for these ,it seems they are hard for me to find.


WAIT! I think i see now , It should be IRF9610 and NOT IRF9160

We\I need a decent parts list page with designators.

and possibly a once over to look for mistakes like this :)
