I plan to build a headphone amp for a Sennheiser HD650. I signed up for 1 DCG3 Preamp Board and 1 full kit, along with 1 DCSTB board and 1 full kit. Is this correct or do I need different quantities?
MShipmanPE,
I completed the build from parts from Tea-Bag's last GB. My understanding is that you need the following (assuming you are buying boards and associated full kits from Tea-Bag):
1 x DCG-3 PreAmp board
1 x DCG-full kit (no board, includes transistor kit)
1 x DCSTB board - 2 sections (this board has 2 sections)
2 x DCSTB Full kit (No board, includes transistor kit) per side $40 - you will need parts for both sides/sections)
Others, please correct me if I am wrong.

Hello,
The current GB for Salas boards is open until 4/30/2017. You must pay by then. If you signed up on the spreadsheet, I should have sent you a private message with details. If you have not received a private message, then send me one.

Hi Tea-Bag,
Doubt I have time to work on this project at this moment. Please remove my name from the GB list.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi Tea-bag
Thank you for yet again doing a group buy. I always enjoy your work.
Can I be added to the group buy waiting list for dcg3 pcb and 2 power supply boards and components kits for both main board and psu?

Done, I have added you to the waiting list. I will need to ship out current kits and boards once arrived and then see if I have any left over.
Supply is currently tight for DCSTB boards.
DELAY!!
I am currently awaiting the boards arrival.
The board house unfortunately shipped the circuit boards to another country.
This is a first.
They were unable to get the customs department for that country to re-direct package to me. So the boards are back in production line.
I hope to ship the boards out in less than 2 weeks. My apologies for the delay.

Hi Tea-Bag,
i just tuned into this thread. I may want to joing the next GB and I would like to be correct on what I need to order. So as I see it:
1. I can order 1 DCG3 pcb which is good for both channels and a full transistor kit. I then supply the rest of the components.
2. I can order 2 DCSTB pcb's and a full kit. I then supply the rest of the components.
3. If I need more than one set of inputs, I have to order an I- Select kit also.
Please correct if I am wrong.
BR,
Myles

Hi Myles.
1. Is correct.
2. is confusing. That's partly by the options available. DCSTB is the PS board.
The DCSTB board itself has two sections. So ordering that board will give you the ability to run the DCG-3 board dual mono. An independent power supply for each channel. That is Salas recommendation. However if space is a concern, then it can be run with just 1 part of DCSTB PS board with larger heatsinks and different fuses. Generally people order two transistor or two full kits for DCSTB and 1 transistor kit or full kit for the DCG-3
3. For the I-Select, yes this can be put into about anything as a selector and volume control.

Hi Tea-Bag,
Fairly confused by your reply, so lets do it this way:
I want to run DCG3 dual mono, What do I check off on the spreadsheet. I will check off the I-Select if I want it.
Thanks for the help,
Myles

My dcg3 with I-select. AC tapping direct from one of the channels of the dcstb. No hum, noise, anything but pure good sound. Recommended.
Myles,
I did a build very similar to Bambadoo - this is what I ordered from Tea-Bag:
I-Select x 1
I-Select Kit (no board) x 1
DCG-3 PreAmp board x 1
DCG-full kit (no board, includes transistor kit) x 1
DCSTB board - 2 sections x 1
DCSTB Full kit (No board, includes transistor kit) x 2
I ended up doing the build without the I-Select, plan to integrate that later.
Hope this helps.
