There were a lot more Paradise phonostage boards made than Paradise pre-reg boards, so on the basis that there must be people looking for pre-reg board kits I put the idea to start a new group buy for the psu to Benedetto.
The minimum kick off would be ten pairs of boards, any more than that and we'll run the group buy. There's a decent price break at twenty five pairs.
Benedetto is willing to handle sourcing the parts again and we think we'll be looking around Euro 250, for a pair of boards and all the caps, chokes, coil, resistors and sundry parts. No mains transformers, find your own quiet ones.
We'll know more on pricing as we move forward. If you are interested please add you name and how many sets you require. One set equals enough parts to build two channels worth of pre-regboard.

Possibly interested in 1.5 sets, If I could use one to power my proposed Bruno Putzey balanced pre-amp.
Paul, I'm not sure what Bruno's PSu needs but you can use these for +/- upto 50 volts as a raw supply, with our without chokes. A spare pair will never go amiss. (This GB includes all parts but transformers).
I never noticed any sound difference between the noisy Bloks and those I built with toroids. Farnell has the 15v/12vA encapsulated traffos back in stock. (£100 for 4)

We're nearly there gents. I'll leave it until the end of the week then put a Googledocs up and see who wants pcbs and who wants full kits.
As I can use those for a couple of other projects, I'll go for 2,5 sets.
So 5 PCBs & the material for those.
Thank you ! 🙂

Ok gents sorry for the delay, work pressures.

Please fill your name in and tell us what you'd like. I need to speak to Peter but the kits should include the following parts.
PCBs
Fuse housings and fuses
Rectifier diodes
Common mode chokes
Snubber caps
Main filter caps 10,000uf
Hammond 300mA Chokes
Bleeder resistors
Voltage trim resistors (10 Watt)
Output film caps
PSU kits will not include the mains transformers as we had issues with noisy ones on the first group buy run. The Multicore, dual secondary 12/15 work perfectly for the Paradise.

Hi Simon,
thanks for putting it up.
I have no google account and can thus only read, not write into the document.
Can you put me in for 3 kits & 3 PCBs, please ?

oh, sorry..I thought 1 kit was 1 pcb with parts..
So a kit means 1 set complete for a Paradise build, =2 PCBs with parts ?
In this case, 2 Kits & 4 PCBs, please.
(8 PCBs of which 4 with parts)
Thanks for the heads up Simon & sorry for the confusion !

Simon - I've added 2 PCBs, and 2 kits (I already have 1 pair of PCBs from a previous GB 🙂).
Thanks, Richard
Thanks, Richard
Thanks Richard, we're getting there, 20 is the magic number for pcbs. I think we'll leave it open for a week or so.
