Hi. Also checking my own built, just found that the Calvin BOM is incorrect for C3, the Mouser part number is 22nF, not the correct 220nF
C3 correct Part Number should be instead: 505-MKS2.22/63/10 (Polyester) or 505-MKS2C032201BKI00 (PET). You can also use your prefered capacitor type...
I'll resend a corrected Calvin BOM to all the Calvin PCB buyers.

Hi. I'm receiving a lot of requests for the Paradise semi sets, just ordered some more parts from Mouser. I have already some sets ready for shipment but I'll probably need this weekend to sort everything out and packed. So I'll only start shipping next week.
BTW I finally sold all my remaining Paradise phono pcb (1 pcb only left just in case), 2x Pre-Reg and CRC filter, no more Calvin. I'll re-order some Calvin to complete the Calvin/Semi offer.
After that, this project should be completed. If there are any other PCB request I'll need some quantity to justify an other PCB order.
Stay tuned for updates, and as always I'll let you know once I make the shipment. Get back to me if you don't hear back from me.
Trying my best and thanks for your support.

Hi. For the last few days I worked hard to help a friend's widow. He died suddenly just before Christmas, and his window was left a lot of audio stuff, parts, cable, and I mean a lot... I'm helping here moved everything out of the house, and to try to sell all the stuff.
A lot of work, so expect some delay for a few days.
It also mean that I'll probably post some stuff to sell on the forum such as tubes, caps, Scanspeak drivers. It is for a good cause.
Thanks

Worked like crazy since Monday to sell and locally delivered sound system parts, for the Estate Sale to help my friend widow and duaghters. Still has a lot of packing ans hipping to do, and some last stuff to pickup this friday. It means I won't be able to resume the work on the Calvin parts until probably next Monday. Trying my best

Shipped 7 kits yesterday, the members had being informed of the shipment.
Still has one item to prepare for the Estate Sale, and I'll complete this project. Just to give you a idea, the Estate sale item list was 2 pages long, ouf... a lot of work. Certainly did my community work for this year...
Received the missing parts from Digikey yesterday, will resume matching and preparing kits for shipping, stay tuned.
Thanks

For one late buyer I will place the order for some extra Phono pcb. I'll end up with about 3 extra complete set for the Paradise (Phono, Pre-Reg, CRC filter, Calvin & Parts)
Let me know if interested
NB: Sold today the last piece of gear for the Estate sale, a big tube amp. So some more free time in the days ahead...

Got my Calvin buffer
Sorry, forgot to post that I got my Calvin buffer and matched semiconductors set early *last* week, I think it was either Tuesday or Wednesday.
Thanks much Algar_emi!!!

Seb, just to mention, I built a paradise up last week using your latest boards and calvin parts, great job on the matching for the Calvin's transistors, they required very little adjustment to dial in, nice work, thanks.
Jazid I have to check, i'm away from home and my workshop. Did you get an email from me saying your kit was shipped? I havent all the parts to complete the last kit until a few weeks back, so I still have a few kit to ship.
Thanks for the comment sq225917. I tried my best to get excellent matched set, matching them on the curve tracer, Vgs match for the J107, and actual test of all matched set into a real Calvin test board. Most of the time I havent to readjust the zero offset trim pot between matched sets, making sure they will work fine at your end.
So for those that were not contacted yet, will try to complete the last batch next week.
By mid July up to end of August I will have a major renovation project at home, and probably all my electronic works will stop and won't resume until September. This is why I'm trying to complete the Paradise project before then...
To be on the safe side, I still have three complete sets of Paradise pcb, so I'll make sure to have the matched semi parts to go with them. So for those lucky last buyers, they won't have to wait too much. Being a part time hobby, and with so many going projects, sometime delays are to be expected. I also try to finance my projects with the little money i do selling kits and pcb. So sometime a project is delayed buy purchase, parts search, pcb design in hope to sell some to buy some other things... Don't want the lady of the house to complain about why there is parts, boards, and projects laying around the house. Don't worry honey, all this had been already paid for 😉
Thanks for your patience.
