Hello All,
I'm looking for two Aleph 2 driver PCBs. If anyone has them, I will purchase. Tried searching through the threads but found nothing current.

Thanks,

| Kristjan is good people. Quite a few have used his boards to build Alephs. His boards are top notch quality and reasonably priced also. |

| il add that he is a pleasure to deal with, has great customer service, and offers the best quality PCB's out there. not to mention they arent terribly expensive either. they are quite reasonable IMO. |

| Gee, I though his boards were over priced. 80.00 for the preamp. I passed. |

Id say Kristian is really good with his design's and boards.. after about 8 months kristian emailed me asking if i wanted a set of extra boards or bpards for my p1.7 preamp.. as i didnt have money at the time.. he also sent me parts i just could not get and some schematics of some otehr stuff so he is a really good guy and also well known on this board.. thumbs up for him

Jim W.,
You should really get your facts straight if you are going to make a statement. The Aleph P 1.7 board is $52. The Power Supply board is $18. Consider that if you had a set of Gerber files and wanted to get a board made at a foundry it would you well over $100. Group buys are cheaper because 100's of boards are ordered at a time. If there is no group buy available, Kristjan's boards are a varitable bargin when compared to having a board made at a foundry. I don't consider $52 for an Aleph P board expensive considering the high quality of Kristjan's boards. It will cost the original poster about $60 for a pair of Aleph 5 boards. |

I agree that the boards are very good quality (EDIT: by the looks of things, see further posts), and it does take alot of hassle from producing the boards.
you may be able to save a little if you get it done at a foundry (even double sided):
at http://www.pcb-pool.com/ for american customers
1 Eurocard (3.9 inches x 6.3 inches)
- doublesided
- plated through
- partial hot air levelling (HAL lead free)
+ Tooling
+ Photoplot
costs only $34, and if its single sided, it works out cheaper.
On the other hand, your design wont be tried and tested. I can personally vouch for the quality of service and product from pcb-pool, I have used them many times in previous projects.
Personally, because I live in the UK, I will be going for the pre-made pcb's for my Aleph 5 because they will work out cheaper (pcb-pool have massive price differences for UK customers!!) and it is also tried and tested. |

Sorry for the thread jacking people.
Oil I tried to email you to ask if you wanted to combine shipping for some parts as I am also planning to build an Aleph 5 but you are set not to accept emails.
If you are interested send me an email.

| And I will always maintain that the K's PCBs are OK but no more. The quality is not impressive at all IMHO. The prices are nowhere near cheap. |

| After makinjg a statement like that I am sure that you will lat us all know where we can purchase an Aleph 5 board of better quality for less money? |

Probably from that Chinese site which is not really nice to Nelson. See other threads. My statement was meant to give contrast to those who claim that the boards are top quality and fair priced which in my opinion they are far from. I never claimed that you can buy boards of better quality for less money AFAICR. They are OK and if one has no other way of getting a board and feel that the price is within one's range then by all means one should feel free to buy.
As an example of a good quality board I suggest the Aleph-X group purchase boards. That board is miles ahead in every aspect of the word PCB. |

Thanks to everyone for the information. Someone did have spare Aleph 2 PCBs, so now I have no excuses for finishing the amps.
Cheers,
