Bones13 Sell Off -> SOLD OUT

I have finished my last project - an n channel VFET amp, which shares duties with a SissySIT r3.

Eyes are going, fingers less nimble, and looking to move across country, and won’t have the space that I enjoy now. I am selling many of these for shipping costs (rounding up and down to $10) Charging half as much for the SITs and VFETs to benefit the community. I bought from proven vendors, but have not tested these.

Anyway, I am going to unload a bunch of boards, VFET/SITs, unstarted and a mostly finished kit. All Vets were purchased from Spencer at DIYCircuit. SITs were obtained from Tomoaki Watanabe.

I am aiming to help the DIYAudio community, but I will prioritize requests from the people who have helped me in the past. Not doing a lottery like the initial VFET sets, but if you don’t have many posts, you will go down the list below folks I know for here, or see that are active here.

Finished boards
1 pair F6 boards, with only the MOS chips unmounted. ($50+$10)

Kits - not started
2 x Reflector power supply boards, and parts ($15+$10 / each)

Boards
1 pair P VFET OS2 boards, with pair of 2SJ28 ($75+$10)
1 pair N VFET OS2 boards, with pair of 2SK82 ($75+$10)
1 3-board set of Pequot Daughter boards ($10)
1 3-board set of Bon Homme Richard boards ($10)
3 single TUBA Boards ($10 / each)
5 single H9KPXG-C push button, slow start switch boards ($10 / each)

(3 will have the SMPS and SL22 parts)

Transistors
1 pair 2SK182E SIT ($50+$10)
1 pair THF-51S ($50+$10)
4 2SK180 (looks to have been recovered, sold as set for shipping $10)
1 pair Sony 2SJ28 ($50+$10)
3 pairs Sony 2SK82 ($50+$10 / pair)

I’ve been here more than 15 years now. It’s been a great run.

I started with DIY speakers in 1977, that went to college with me. They were reformulated (WAF matters!) when in medical school / residency. (They got smaller) A bunch of years passed as I got my medical practice started. Then I built a couple of kits - AudioNoteKits EL34 + DAC 4.1. Had a lot of fun with those. Moved away from tubes, and built an Aleph J clone, completely new experience, with some Zu Essence speakers. Some failed experiments with DIY DACs… M2x, and SissySIT (replacing the Aleph J) sounding good. Final project being an N-Channel VFET amp.

It’s been FUN!

Moving on though. planning to retire at the end of 2024, and downsizing, again, in a move to Seattle, to be with daughter + newest grand daughter. Space will be tight, just hoping to keep my vinyl rig (vinyl storage can be problematic)

I plan to pursue other hobbies, listening to music, and do a fair amount of babysitting/child care.
 
Yeah, ultimately, enjoyment of music or this/that comes down to context and sharing it with someone makes it all the richer without pursuing the n-th degree in whatever parameter that people have decided is the new end all be all.. all the best, and thanks for your generosity kicking components back into The Community...
