GB for Salas Folded Simplistic Phono PCB

mrsavage. Let me get it figured out. I'm considering myself sold-out until I get them all shipped out. Then I will see what's left. Sometimes my actual sales vary from what my paperwork shows.
Expect a week or to to get them shipped out, as they arrive hopefully early next week.
 
Hello everybody.
The boards are in and I am starting to ship them.
Right now, I can only send orders without the 2SK170BL pairs.
I've had some trouble getting these stocked, unexpectedly.
So I apologize for this, but keep in mind I have had to source Lots of parts for this GB.

I expect the 2SK170's to arrive gradually over the next several weeks, possibly more.
I offer or ask few things -
1. If you have your own stash of 2SK170's, I can refund you for what you paid and ship immediately.
2. I can ship ahead of time without the 2SK170's, and ship them when they arrive (at my expense). This may help if you want to get a head start on the project. I fully realize these are in the critical path to completing the project and are not something you can subsitute easily.

3. I expect Spencer @ FETAudio can fully provide for the 2SK170BL requirements as well, although at somewhat higher cost.

Here are the requirements for 2SK170 from the build guide.

Q4- 8.2-8.5ma idds 1% matched.
Q5- 7.5-8.5ma idss fiarly matched.
Q6- Higer idss than Q5, up to 10ma

Send me a PM if you want to change your order and get your order shipped a bit quicker. Thanks.

Hi Mike


that's going to be no problem this end.🙂

no rush what so ever

You’ve done another fantastic job as usual.

Thanks for all of the hard work you’ve put in.

It’s much appreciated.:cheers:

I have a small handful of 2sK170's on hand, but not enough for this project. I am in no hurry, since I have some other stuff to do to my turntable.

What is your ETA for the FET's? If you are thinking a few weeks, then I am happy to wait.
 
Tea-Bag

My parts arrived today too!
Thank you for your hard work.

Salas,
Thank you for your dedication and improvements to this phono pre-amp. No one I know has so openly designed and improved the design for so long and kept going until you felt you have it right!
You have tirelessly answered questions and made one off design changes for needy folks and seem to enjoy doing so.

It is a pleasure getting the emails everyday to see whats new.

You are welcome. Expecting to start seeing the builds coming to the phono thread soon.
 
What a team - Salas and Teabag

I got notice that my parts have shipped.

I told Mr. Thomas that he is the best group buy organizer. One figures if he is involved one should subscribe. It will be good.

How much more accolades and gratitude can I/we send towards Mr. Salas?

We are lucky to be in the company of such a generous man.
 
Hi ,
I prefer ship ahead of time without the 2SK170's, and ship them when they arrive.
I want to start to build it , and maybe I will fetch non-matched 2SK170's just for now , to see it is working.
if it will cause you an additional shipping fee - I will be happy to pay it.

Great work ! Thanks.
 
I'm keen also on a set sans sk170's - I have about 40 so should be able to get a couple of matched sets to spec ...
That will teach me for napping when I should have jumped 🙂

You are on waiting list

Sorry I didn't, check this thread sooner. If mine didn't ship I am in no rush. My kit can be shipped all together. Thanks again for doing what seems like a huge amount of work to help your fellow nuts.

I have you in wait for 2SK170 status

Yours are now shipped.


Thank you all for the kind words. I have had practice with the GB thing, so some parts of it I have almost figured out. 😛
It's an honour to serve a community where there is lots of gratitude, and not so much of the other stuff.
