I've not seen a PM or something on my private email address. I know stuff goes astray and occasionally I miss things. When did you make contact?
I'm fairly relaxed about things ATM, clearly lines of communication have become crossed, so just STH.
I have scanned through all my email folders, i could not find anything from Destroyer OS too. Now that Destroyer OS has mentioned that he is aware of this arrangement, he should be sending your boards soon if he has already received your mailing address that you sent earlier.
Hi,
I have also not received any information to send. So I am surprised that some have the parts already at home.
Greetings Dirk

Fuse questions
Destroyer OS or anybody else on this thread, may I get some help on the the fuse. (I'm getting ready to assemble my boards.)
(1) Do I need a fuse if there is a fuse at the IEC inlet? Or can it be shorted with a wire?
(2) If it needs a fuse, can you maybe link to some representative fuse clips that fit (eg a mouser part number). The BoM didn't have this.
I am planning to use Comoco's.
Thanks
ps Another suggestion: the BoM currently doesn't list the capacitance of the X2 caps. I found the value in this thread though.

What do you guys think of this as a case:
https://www.amazon.ca/Pyle-Pro-PCO8...a0d06&pd_rd_wg=dWDD6&pd_rd_i=B00BQO5G4O&psc=1
Seems like a good price just for the box. Throw away the internals and essentially get the outlets, cord and switch for free.

The BOM (for digikey) also lists 237-1373-ND / 237-1372-ND (Triad magnetics) chokes. Do I use the fuse with those or treat them the same as Bournes?
I remember reading (somewhere) in one of the earlier GB threads that the bypass resistor next to fuse wasn't needed for Bournes. But the board silkscreen implies otherwise.

They use the same hole pattern as Bournes so a fuse would be a waste.
You'd be taking a sonic hit by not using the resistors.

Ian,
The "Technical Pro" version has 9 separate front switches so this could be perhaps quite useful, particularly if you use a couple of the filters (after emptying out the original 'bits').
I did this with a 4 outlet filter box with a higher current filter (& dc trap) for the 2 power amps and a lower current filter (and another dc trap) for the preamp and dac - it has just the single mains switch on the back, unfortunately, but it works extremely well

I received my pcb's and connectors as well. Very professional looking pcb's. Thanks destroyer OS.
