Do any of you DIY guys in Massachusetts or New Hampshire want to try an DIY F1 ? I am building an F4 and running out of shelf space. I can deliver it or you can come and pick it up.
Boards are like the Pass Labs originals. Send me an e-mail for more information. |

| I have one person interested. I would like this amp back after 2 months so I can let another DIY member try it. I will post some pictures soon. It has taken one trip to Houston. Panelhead what did you think?:D |

| This is an great sounding amp with the right speakers. It may also pass the WAF. Thanks Nelson. I enjoyed it very much. :D :D |

Just out of curiosity, who or what is N.E.W.?
Nelson's Electronics Works?
No Electrons Wanted?
Not Everyone's Wasted (yet)?

I bought the housing from another diy member.
The amp is gone. Check back in March. |

| I think it was NEW who cloned the A40 without NP's permission...good idea of gutting it. |

| When are you going to send me another Blue's CD? |

I file N.E.W. under "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished"
I have seem to have a similar situation with Portal Electronics. |

Is that supposed to be "No Bad Deed..."?
Portal...I seem to have read their claim that the design is from a very reputable designer...so it is you, Mr. Pass...their first "product" got a very good review. Was it the Aleph they ripped-off? They have a higher power version now in their ads...probably an A2. :mad: |

I think they ripped off the A20. Saw it once in a local shop.
Tried to sell it to me, but I knew what it was. They said it was single ended, but that was all. At the time, I couldn't afford it anyway. They wanted $800 for a used unit.
Wasn't there a company called B.E.A.R which had a unit that was being sold out of the back of audio mags? It was also S.E. |

Hi Mike,
I am really digging this amp! It is working amazingly well with my Zu Druids. I have no real experience with Pass designs never mind a current amp. I am definately impressed. it is pushing bass out of my speakers like I have not heard. I may have to get one for myself. |

| Chris is almost done with the F1. Is there anyone else that would like to take it for a couple of months? |
|
|
| MikeW |
| Did I mention that these are original F1 boards?:D :cool: ;) |
|
|
| sts9fan |
| If no one wants it I will be happy to hold on to it for a bit :cool: |

| I was gonna give it a try, but I don't have the right speakers, oh well. Guess I have to build the right speakers, then build an F1. Mike, how did you acquire the original boards? |
|
|
| MikeW |
| It's OK with me. If you want to swap it for an ZV9 or F4 let me know. :eek: |
|
|
| MikeW |
| I hope you didn't hurt your back carrying that F4. Did you get it set up OK? |
|
|
| sts9fan |
I think you should store any of your family’s valuables in that F4 case. Thing is built like a safe. Anyway I got it up and running with the Akidio and it sounds great! I am very interested in building one of these Akidios and was wondering what specifications you used. What tubes and type of PS?
Thanks again
Kris |
