Kevin, I missed the parts in your comment about the kit going in the store. Yes, of course the more info the better. 
It won't be the ones that I ordered that will bite me. It will be whatever was in the inventory when I checked, a lot or RN60 and 65's in there. I didn't pull a partial kit yet, so when I do it what comes out will be a surprise.
I found all the yageo resistors in stock and they are cheap, and wonderful. I once thought I knew better than Zm and the boys that make the bom. Not so much anymore... Iron pre Susy..per bom is pure bliss...
Same Here!
All parts accounted for...Nice job!

Thrilled to see the kits arriving for the early builders. Once again, thanks!
^ Stay tuned. One person had an exceptional idea. We're pursuing it.
I'm rummaging around for an old tape deck shell. That's the proper way to do it, right?
DIYAudio order received, Antek and Mouser stuffing bits in the house. Looking forward to the build!
I don't suppose it needs to stay below the radar.
I'm working with people to see what we can do to get a few chassis from Gianluca out before they potentially go into the store.
Wasn't my idea... that credit goes to Kevin. I'm just trying to see if I can help out. May or may not happen.
It's borderline off topic, but ZM, what's the sonic difference between Metglas and Finemet AVCs?

We should probably talk (you’ve got my number) I’ve already ordered my chassis from Gianluca…if others would like to order one, sooner is probably better then later.
^ Thanks, Kevin! Much appreciated. I'm on the road.
All others - If you'd like a chassis like Kevin ordered for his balanced version - Feel free to get in touch with Gianluca directly. Feel free to organize a small group buy amongst yourselves or order directly if you're in a hurry. Gianluca is always a pleasure to work with.
Note, last I checked, these chassis were still prototypes. That status may have changed. I have not checked on the SE chassis. I'd strongly recommend that those interested check out all the dimensions and relevant information before committing. Gianluca should be able to provide that info, and they'll have the latest files. If not, ask here.
I'll step away from the action, but the group can feel free to ask more questions here.

For what it's worth, I didn't find BA3 pre that difficult, and Iron pre prototype even less difficult. Iron pre has power supply, pre circuit including the transformers and the selector parts all right on the board. BA3 requires separate board for power supply as well as the relay selector. Hope this helps with difficulty level.

Agreed, since it’s all integrated into one board that makes it relatively easy. It’s just not like building an ACA Mini…that’s all I’m saying.
