Sorry for being relatively incommunicado the last few weeks. We have been working non stop on the new batch of 4U and 5U chassis, new bigger, better and badder F5-T compatible PSU board and the ACA kit and ACA chassis. There's some small but very important changes coming up which are going to make our lives that much easier and simpler to DIY!
Jason, Do you have any news on when the F-5c Clone boards will be back in stock?
We don't have any plans to re-stock the F-5c, but we will be shortly stocking the F-5t.
Hey Jason,
I'm an Aussie living in NYC but moving back to Australia in a few months. I'm planning to build 3 x F5TV3 amps (maybe 5) when back in Oz. I thought I'd get the various electronic parts here in the US since they are probably cheaper. Then the chassis and heatsinks when back in Sydney.
My questions:
1. Are the parts just as cheap in Australia?
2. Should I get the PCB and PSU while in the US or wait 'til Australia? If they're being shipped from Australia then I'll just get them there.
3. Are there going to be any F5TV3 PCBs available or will there be at some point in the future as far as you're aware? I have seen a few people building the V3's but no PCBs on the DIY store. I figure they're using the V2 boards and connecting them for the outputs. I think I'd prefer to have just the one board. There is a guy selling them on ebay actually from Hong Kong, I believe. Any thoughts on that? I'd prefer to get the DIYAudio ones.
4. Where can you get the chassis and sinks in Australia? Again should I get them over here since we are shipping part of a container back home and it wont cost anything extra to throw this stuff in.
1. I'm not sure, you'll need to check - typically I find parts are cheapest in the USA, but then you have to add the shipping cost, so you'll have to do the maths yourself.
2. We don't ship anything from Australia (we're really just a small home brew organisation, but we do use commercial shipping warehouses in the US and EU - not enough Australian demand yet to warrant the costs of having another warehouse in Australia).
3. Yes! They will be in stock very soon, I think Mark is sending them in the next day or two.
4. Please see (2) above - all our chassis are based in a warehouse in the USA. Throw them in with your other stuff if you can!
¿So no boards until March then? What a pity, have to p2p on bareboard then...
Yes, it was super annoying... sorry!
Hi DIYstore
I'd like to place an order for 2 honey badger, 2 soft start and speaker delay and 2 Universal PSU boards but notice the latter is out of stock. Can you provide an estimate of when these will be back in stock and is it worth waiting for to get everything in before proceeding (thinking about shipping costs to UK)
Thanks!
Just putting the final touches on the new PSU board as we speak. I'd expect it to be in stock in around 45 days from now.
When will the 2U no heatsink chassis be available again? Thanks.
It's being or been manufactured already, but needs to get to the USA by sea so expect it within 2-3 months.
