grataku said:I don't know, the aleph was in production for what? 5 years? A dual aleph with X than combines all the benefits of balanced AND single ended will probably be in production for 10 years. If nothing else the design was a little ahead of its time. 😉
Alephs are still in production, and another generation is
coming off the drawing board, available in Spring.
The originals lasted 9 years in the marketplace before we
launched the "Volksamp" product.
How long does any product line last? The market decides.
For me, dynamic bias was good for 4 years, Stasis about 15,
Aleph is still going at 11, X is still going at 5....
Don't worry, I have a big hat full of stuff.

Sweet deal...
OK folks, I just got off the phone with the Advanced Circuits sales rep, with the final price quote in my hands. Due to a pricing error on their website over the weekend, we're actually getting a bit of a discount on the boards... 🙂
After guestimating the shipping price (factory to me) at $0.35 per board, including a small margin for error, the final price came out to $3.98 per board. I figured I might as well round that up to $4 even, just to make life simple for everyone. Keep your eyes peeled for the detailed pricing and payment instructions email which I will send out this eveing.
So there you have it, $4 boards! 😎 I'm <i>really</i> looking forward to seeing these suckers come back from the factory.
PS - I'm ordering plenty of extras, so there will be some spares available for sale after all the initial orders are sorted out.
Thanks to eveyone here! I'm so impressed and awed by the turnout on this group order.

For me, endless question is: Could I love my present diy amplifiers until my wedding ring is worn off...??? Otherwise, which one should be my real choice...???
It seems that number of PCBs is sold at the diy cost successfully. Does it mean Aleph-X qualified? A masterwork could be the masterwork only when it is completed and ...
Being confused, I feel the usual dizzy.
Enjoy. 🙂

Well, an amplifier is not a living being. Your affection
for something you build is your affection for yourself.
Let's hope it never wears off.

OK, I've sent out the detailed order instructions by email to everyone who requested boards from me. If you sent me a request, but don't get the email in the next day or so, please send me a message and let me know.
LOL!Your affection for something you build is your affection for yourself.

If you read this board, or much more audioasylum, or even worse, german "audiophile" boards, audiophile newsgroups and what ever, you get more and more the feeling "audiophile" and narcissism are very close.

I know what you mean... I can't get any of my equipment to stay out of the mirror. 😉

Narcissism...???
Narcissism can not explain the maternal affection.
Narcissism can not explain the blind faith, either.

Hi
(I've read heaps at diyaudio.com, but this is only my 2nd post. I don't know how to contact people "off the board".
Advice would be appreciated).
I'd like to order 8 (eight) of the Rev 1.0 boards.
(Later next year I'm doing a bookshelf and the active 3 way Linkwitz Phoenix) and I've been thinking long & hard about the time etc, but I think it'll be well worth it.
My postal address is:
5 Ballinamona Street
Alphington , Melbourne, 3078
Australia
USPS shipping quotes are available at:
http://ircalc.usps.gov/weight.asp?Contents=1
Please let me know the total cost.
Quickest payment would be by wire, if you want to send me your:
Account Name, Bank number. & Account number.
Otherwise your postal address & Name you'd like on a check.
Best email for me is:
richard.grant@nre.vic.gov.au
Thank you kindly
Richard
