DIY Sony VFET lottery discussion

Yes, we are aware some kits are missing the screws. We have started to ship some of the missing ones today, the remaining ones should be shipped between Monday and Tuesday.


I apologize for the incovenience and thanks everybody for your patience as we fix this


Well, I did get my chasses kit today. There is a little dent on the corner of one of the heatsinks from hitting something. It's a bummer but I can live with that.

But sadly the whole front plate is missing... kind of makes the whole VFET cases moot..

That is really unfortunate! Was there any indication that it could have been opened? Is there a weight indicator in the package? The front plate is almost as heavy as the heatsinks! It should clearly show a difference in weight if it was 'substracted' from the package instead of not put in in the first place.

Sorry to hear that.
 
We have some very good beer in Cleveland. We have the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, too. Keep the lakrids in Copenhagen, please.

You don't like "Lakrids"?
It was much better years back before the EU-regulation rules on how much ammonium chloride is allowed etc.....

But Cleveland is in Ohio? ....close to the small lake?
Then it is not far away from "OMA"?

Could be fun to hear the large conical horns system. A good fit for a VFET amp?

Have you ever had a demo of these speakers?
 
Ok......33 and 34 in Scandinavia......

I have soldered all boards and mounted the VFET boards so far......and cleaned boards for flux. Back panel also mounted.

How do we compare P-channel vs N-channel sound?

I have a proposal......but don't think it will be well accepted 🙄

That would be a lot of fun! But, honestly, my money is on any audible differences being placebo, or sitting 3 feet left or right between sessions.

But, I don't think we need excuses to do it anyway, and enjoy the music and good company. 🙂

Don't think it has been opened. It was intact and the parts were well packed in plastic and styrox. Fright weight on the referral says 7,5 kg, but the actual weight (with a normal digital scale) is 5,3 kg.

I've never heard of the OMA speakers. Those look like they're made about 8 hours drive away. I imagine they sound great, and the VFET must be a great match.
 
8 hours drive is considered close in US? ....it does not look far at the map.
The top system with the two large conical horns +sub pr. channel could be fun to listen to. Then VFET should only drive the two horns as the subs have own amplifiers.
They make a full system with tube amps and turntables. It is an expensive system.....but now we have the amp for it......

I looked it up in more detail. I thought OMA was in NYC - that looks like a sales showroom. It looks like HQ is in Pennsylvania. Beachwood Ohio to Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. 369 miles. 6 hours & 3 minutes drive. That's not too bad. One tank of gas to get there.

I remember a few years ago having dinner in Kalundborg. Some former colleagues were saying Copenhagen to Kalundborg was considered a very long work commute. All the Americans around the table had a big laugh. I think we're used to a lot of time in the car... I also know fuel is lot more expensive DK...
