I got notified at 1:30am and luckly I was still up so I finally got it.
If you want it to really get your attention, enable both email and text notifications. I would have missed the email alone.

Wohooo! I checked the store and 2 were still available!!! So I bought....two naturally! Very strange! Hope it's not just an illusion (crossing my fingers as I type).🙄
Received Invoice email from the store for Order #DAS-26862 and order #DAS-26861!!! Awesome....it will happen finally!!! I think!
5 hours from receiving email notification to being at a secure computer to make the purchase.....all gone. 🙁 Would be nice to prepay for one instead of playing the time lottery.
Oh, well.... maybe next time....

WTH!! missed it again!! this is an outrage!! I had this scheduled for my January- March 2027 project. Oh well back to the other 72 projects.
Inundated is good...As this batch had a revision for more options I ordered a limited quantity. Since it came out well, I have put a large batch on order, so you will soon be inundated.

Thank you.
Mine got shipped! Now I am gonna be that guy (I apologize): gonna be driving f4 with it using dual voltage psu. Do I absolutely need capacitors on the input of the FE? If yes what are the smallest values I can get away with, can I go smaller than 3.3? Will 2.7 work? I have those on hands. Sorry if it was beaten to death here…
I direct couple my Stasis FE. But I verified 100% that there is no DC from the source. Measured, not assumed.
With a cap, find one of those high pass calculators on the interwebz, like omnicalculator. Plug in the numbers for your cap value and series R. Is the result under 5 Hz? That's kinda what we shoot for. Same with the feedback loop.

You do not have to absolutely use capacitors on the input. I have successfully done this with an M2 OPS. You will most likely want to capacitor couple the output. You will need to pay attention to the offset from DC at the collector of the bipolar device. IIRC, Nelson discussed how to do that on the new boards. It is in this post.Mine got shipped!

Another way to tweak the offset is by adjusting the value of R7. I ended up with a value of 1k - 1k2 in my build.

Can 2SK170BL's be used with the matched resistors included in the kit? Also, what voltage would work best with 2SK170BL's? I see a huge range of voltages mentioned throughout this thread and it would be helpful to learn why such a large range works with this circuit. Thanks!
