WOW.....that has taken FOREVER.Hi Oliver,
I finally received the PCB (3rd one) and multi-FET boards this afternoon. Many thanks for all your efforts. The first board you sent me (March) has definitely disappeared into a black hole somewhere. With everything being messed up the way it is, my daughter's wedding was postponed to next year April. Bas kindly sent the 2nd PCB to my daughter (thanks Bas), who has just forwarded it via DHL (last week Thursday) with a few other items (LP et al).
Now to get building - first the PCB then the case.
Thanks for letting me know, K.
Let's hope you like it now you have the PCB lol
New Round For the GB - Any Interest?
After a couple of months trying to wait out the inevitable postage delays due to covid-19, and hoping normal service would resume, it seems like this blighter is here for the time being. So, seeing as i have had a little rest and recharge of the batteries after a frantic summer of group buys, builds and part hunting, i thought i would run another round of the GB for those dark nights in which a project may be beneficial. Especially if we get Locked Down again!
Thats if there is any interest of course.
Price:
Standard BB3 PCB: £20
or
BB3 PCB & Matched Multifet upgrade: £70
Delivery -
UK - £10
EUR- £15
USA & ROW - £20
Payment by PayPal friends and Family, or to include 4% if using the "Goods or Services option"
If there is any interest, please start a list. Minimum of 10 Participants are required.
Thanks
Oliver

Balanced BigBottle? I've not even got around to stuffing my single board yet, but I had this passing thought. Would it be possible to use two BigBottles where components/valves had been matched to within 0.1% across positions and boards, one board per channel?
Given the inability to buy another naked board it's a pipe dream. But. Perhaps I ought to stop dreaming and get on with building the one I have...

Any info?
Thanks
No, there won't be any more GBs for this project.Any info?
Thanks
No, someone was naughty and ruined it for everyone.No PCBs left or?
Can't say anymore but the only PCBs for sale now are fully populated, tested and SAFE.
For forum members I'd do them for £300 + postage. They are Channel matched to 0.1% tolerance, have CMR caps and are within ±0.2 RIAA accuracy.
Apologies if this it too rich for anyone, but @Vivant and I were repairing phonostages that had been made by an individual who wasn't building them to the minimum spec on the BOM, claiming they were better than the ones I make and sell, and they weren't safe either.
It was decided that the Phonostage was too important to us to allow the reputation of its performance to comprised in this way.
Can build either. That's not an issue.That's unfortunate.
Two questions:
Are you building both orientations -- "innies" and "outties" (tube-wise)?
What's the pad you're using on the heatsink?
Pads? They are isolating the IRF820 & the 7805 but they conduct thermally into the heatsink.
Oh sorry, I get them from AliExpress.AHH... so you're building to order to a certain degree.
I understood what the pads are doing. I wondered whose they were.
Yes, built to order.
Well that is extremely unfortunate. Should anything change, I promise not to be naughty and would be very interested in a board if there is another GB.
No, someone was naughty and ruined it for everyone.
