GB for Salas Folded Simplistic Phono PCB

[stajo]

Jag är rädd om moder natur.

Reuse what you can, construct as clever as Salas. Dont be afraid to experiment, or you will never learn. Solder in some completely different and listen. You cant loose, you dont go to jail, you will just be a cheap experiance richer.

Everything at my place will be reused🙂 I will in my will when nature calls for me send my stuff to not yet decided university somewhere probably a female technical school. My kids are totally teoretics. They can count with given values but solder - no chanse...

Tea bag, could you please describe the various options for the folded?
What they include and matching, etc.

Thanks for organising all this!

Metal film, metal oxide, thick film, bulk foil... Different critters. Bulk foil is hyped for good sound.

Depends ! In feedback they are great. To GND they are poor. Do not use to many if you have silver cables.

Ok, back into the drawer they'll go as I'm going shopping again :-(

Well, I might not... As a starter anyway. In my oldish new interrest for a few years back I bought some Silmics outta this World - (they don't exist 🙂 but I ain't sure they never existed)

ELNA Silmic II's 3300uF/50V - haha. Perfect timing to check these out.

Hi I bought a lot off those but are not sure if they are fakes or not.

Hi there!

I am trying to keep up to date information on the first post, but it is not super comprehensive and all defining. Let me know what you want to know.

The combined kits will not build you a full board, so keep in mind what they dontinclude. Lots of signal caps and resistors left out for user preferred taste.

Tea-Bag,
I have added myself to the spreadsheet for all of the additional items except the LSK170's, as I have plenty of these already.
Thanks,
Tani.

I put my order for pcb's and minikit. Is it still possible to get it ?

I put in my order for 1 folded raw psu board.

Thanks

Can someone provide dimensions for the PS board?

Thanks,

There is yet to be a decided date to close Group buy, so you'll be able to get boards after the GB ends, and the items are paid for.

Have you dared to use them in any application yet?

Several places and I think they are ok . Difficult to tell if they are equal to other Silmics.

 

[Salas]

You need an LCR that measures DF to compare.

DF?

Damping Factor.

 

[Turbon]

Ok, thanks vgeorge. I believe the function would make the lcr meter a bit more expensive. Since I don't have one and have been thinking to get one - why not...

Mike, where do I find the spec what is included in the different columns (boards, kits etc)?
