Do we have a tentative date on when these will be available in the store?

Yeah, we're waiting for the end of the NEXT 1000 year cycle.
NO! The boards are made and I believe have shipped. Should make it to my house soon. Perhaps before Christmas. Then I have to separate and package them and send them to the order fulfillment people in LA. So we're now talking about 2 wks..

labjr, you have your opinion, we have our boards. We've explained that the P3 option can be implemented. You don't like that approach. The boards we have are the boards we have. We like them, you want something different. We have certainly heard your suggestions and will consider them all. Really. But further arguing is not productive.

So to say it makes no difference, seems like you are not impartial because the boards you have here don't have those changes.

Hi guys,

Do you guys know where I can get a complete F5 kit (PCB + components)? I saw that the diyaudio shop only has the F5 PCB.

Thanks!

I ordered a pair of boards Thursday and received them today, Monday! Thanks for the quick turn around! They look great, very nice quality......

I also ordered several matched pairs of the elusive 2SK170BL/2SJ74BL for this project and any future projects that may arise from this endeavor.

Thanks to all at diyaudio

Can anyone tell me where I can buy the transistors to build this amp?

Try searching for h_a and send him a PM. I've just ordered a set from him £45 incl P&P to UK, so about $75.

Thanks for the awesome Build Guide!

Any idea if/when "regular" (i.e. non-Turbo) F-5 boards will be back in stock at the store?

Thanks,
Ryan
