The Wolverine 5th Group buy

[cherik]

Big thanks to the Wolverine team and Gianluca. You're knocking it out of the park!

At the moment that chassis can only be purchased through the DiyAudioStore

Thanks Gianluca

Can the deluxe chassis on your site have wolverine heatsink substitutions, then the wolv. discount applied? Or are these fixed packages?

 

[Gianluca]

The Deluxe chassis has a different drilling pattern so there is no need to add that and the wolverine heatsinks substitution to your cart.
You can take the standard 4U/5U chassis and add the heatsinks substitution (and deluxe rear panel substitution too in case you need it.) 🙂

two EF3-5 for me, ordered 😉.

Hello wolverine team,
I have a query regarding the speaker protect auxiliary board. Will we get a pair of bare PCB+ schema/BOM soft copy alone without actual parts? My understanding is 'YES' and the fist post is little confusing to me.

"Speaker Protection Board" by @jjs – Includes Schematic & BOM:

Thanks

Yes, Just pcbs and the list of parts you need to buy to solder into it.

 

[shabusf]

Thanks for confirming 👍

Regards

Is the order form in the first post still current for mirrored boards?

 

[Mainframe]

Yep

Will an updated BOM or other updated Doc's be in the shared file soon?

To top it off, I’ve mirrored the EF3-5 design—just like the EF3-3 and EF3-4 in the 5th Group Buy—offering dedicated Left and Right channel versions. This keeps the inputs at the rear and outputs low on the heatsink, maintaining that clean, symmetrical layout you’ve come to love.

This is a great achievement which seems to have flown under the radar. I've not seen anybody ask you how this was done? What process did you follow to create a perfect mirror of the original board? Any tricks and tips to share? Did it take just as long to design the mirror board as it did the original? Was a particular PCB design program used to make this process easier?

Soon™

Soon

We are treating the V5 release as a separate project so new Dropbox folder will be created and a new link will go out to all members of the 5th Group buy as soon as each member receives their tracking number.

Do we need to specify if we want mirrored boards or that's a default now? If yes, please flag my EF3-5 order as "mirrored". Thanks!

 

[Mainframe]

They will all be mirrored.

Edit - I suppose if you’re doing mono or multiple mono blocks and desire a certain configuration this may be something to mention in your order.

The new order sheet that I uploaded a few weeks ago accommodates for selecting left or right channel boards or any combination of left and right.

Hi Stuart,
My order remains unchanged. One stereo pair of mirrored boards, nothing fancy.

 

[HRDSTL]

I am sending a new order sheet for the left and right boards. 😉

Hi Stuart

Sent my order form over twice a few weeks apart and haven’t got a response. Maybe my mails are going into spam?

 

[Mainframe]

Hi there, group buy is still in EOI stage, but we are getting very close. There is likely too many orders to make time for personal responses. But rest assured the order form will have been received. Shortly before boards go into production, payment emails will go out to all those who filled in forms, along with an announcement on here - if you don’t hear or receive anything after this announcement, then it might be time to escalate your inquiry. Will make sure you don’t miss out 👍
