DCB1 Black, White and Red Kits

[audiolic]

Any kit left? what is the best DCB1?

 

[Tea-Bag]

Yes they are. The best Dcb1 is the one you make!
Boards only are available too if you want to select your own parts.

Private message me for payment details if interested.

There are two more kits left right now.

 

[Tea-Bag]

All the kits are sold.
In a few weeks, I will have some new kits together.
I am going to switch the resistors from PRP to Dale, after some requests for CMF55 resistors. This will lower the price ~5 dollars. It requires less shipping costs from vendors, and more reliable stock of all values.

 

[Tea-Bag]

I have ordered 10 more dcb1 kits. I have modified the parts a little and shipping cost as stated below.

I have put together some full kits designed to complement the DCB1 black edition boards.
This includes Black resistors, red caps, some white lettering and whatnot.
OK, so it's a cosmetic thing, but I realize this is important to a lot of people. (myself included)


Here is the rundown.
75 dollars for the kit,
15 for board
6 dollars domestic and 10 dollars international first class shipping.
The kit is not the whole deal - no chassis, wires , transformers, and anything that is not listed. It is all the parts that populated the board.

Here is the rundown of parts - I have not used PRP resistors for this GB. I was getting some demand to use 'the standard' Dale/Vishay CMF55. So I am using those.
I have also lowered the cost of shipping by using some larger padded envelopes. So NET 10 savings.

There may be a sign up sheet for this kit in my signature - please check.

Here is a build guide another member did.
It is excellent, and on audiocircle. Thanks Wushiliu

DC-Coupled B1 Buffer Build

Wow, I just discovered you are selling these kits. I'm in for one when they're available again.

Aside from aesthetics, do the PRP sound better than the Dale in this application? I'm all for getting the best sounding B1 and will be bummed if I'm losing something going from PRP to Dale.

Thanks!

PRPs are as good in my book. I use them both in different builds. I'd be surprised if you could tell the difference between the two... TX-2575, TF-020, etc... are a different story though.

Have fun!

Kt, they are available. PM for paypal info.
You can always swap out later.

Although I feel the DCB1 is very transparent to the resistors being used in the signal path. The Dale's and PRP are both very good. You could swap for PRP at a later date.


Of course the TX2575's are excellent, and the 220Rs I would swap out for those and probably not anything else, and be very impressed.

 

[Tea-Bag]

Back by popular demand, I have ordered a number of PRP resistor kits to go along with the kits. That puts the kit price back at 80.00 per set.
Also have choice now of Elna Silimic II or Nichicon Muse 100uf caps.

 

[B&W_arthur]

2 PCBs please~

 

[Tea-Bag]

Currently out of kits,
I have some more coming soon, larger caps, 5R and 10R resistors, More Hot Rod capable!
Should be together in a couple of weeks.

Price will be somewhat higher. The default stuff will again be PRP. option for CMF55 Dales.

Put me down for the last one!

Thanks

The kits are back in stock, some more boards will arrive soon as well.

Mr. Tea,

Do you have a sign-up spread sheet for the next round?

Cheers,
Ryan

 

[Tea-Bag]

RKH, they will be available next week. Boards and kits. Go to post #1 for all the latest details.

 

[RKH]

Would you prefer money up front to reserve a kit or wait until all parts are in?

Thanks,
Ryan

 

[Tea-Bag]

I have kits and boards in stock now. If you don't have PayPal details then email/pm me.

Thanks Michael!

Got my kit today - looks really good and arrived in record time!

I happen to have some Auricap 0.22 400V caps leftover from another project. Any point substituting for the Wima MKP10 .22 ??

try them.
