And we have PMs asking to join the V2 GB.
There is still time to join as long as V2 Beta test has not be completed.
And we have enough boards already ordered.

Please include me for 1 set of v2 pcbs. I just tested Cloud85's and it has tube-like qualities. Warm smooth but with enough details and good refinement

I would not describe it like that.
It has much more bass control and current delivering capabilities than a typical tube amp.
Instead I would describe it as a typical Class A FET amp with high bias.

Patrick, any idea when might V2 boards be ready?
Well you're right about the bass control. It has no harshness that might typically be associated with solid state.

We already have the boards.
We want them (V2) to be tested first before distributing.
They just arrived at the Ve Beta testers. And they need time to build.
If you cannot wait we can try to send your earlier.
(Cannot promise when exactly, as everyone is busy and sending one off takes a lot of effort in proportion.)
But I guess you have a V1 Beta tester nearby to help.
So only limited risk.

That's ok. I was just trying to get an estimate on the eta. I'll wait till the V2 beta is over. I'll work on other aspects of the set up in the meantime. Thanks
A one time offer to V2 (and V1) subscribers :
We are doing a new batch of F5-HA case parts for ourselves, and Mark has offer to do another 10 or so for the subscribers.
They will be identical to my own case here :

http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/atta...449246397-f5-ha-build-thread-full-chassis.jpg
(Only exception being that all the internal heat conducting angles will be black anodised.)
The case is based on a Chinese 2107 headamp case :
Z 2107 Full Aluminum Power Amplifier Enclosure Headphone Amp Preamp Case DIY | eBay
with the following additional parts :
machined front plate for mini XLR, LED, etc.
new top plate with side vents
new rear plate to suit PCB geometry
fully machined & drilled bottom plate (vented)
aluminium feet with O-Ring isolators
2 pairs heat conducting angles
1x thumb wheel for LDR CCS.
The only option we'll offer is a blank front plate (if you wish to use other sockets and volume).
Price would be about 750 HKD including Paypal fees excluding shipment.
Shipped weight about 3kg.
You can get an estimate for postage here :
Hongkong Post - Parcel
Please kindly indicate interest so that we can estimate batch size.

Thanks guys for the quick responses.
Please kindly note that the case GB will only be offered if we have min. 10 subscribers.
Else the batch size is too small, and it will not be economical anymore.
In any case thank you for your interest.

> Would this case also work for the F5X-HA?
No. The X needs a larger case.
At least the 2109.
