Group order of non-inverted LM3875 pc boards? Anyone interested?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Alright, this seems to be going smoothly so far, as I have received payment from about 30 people from the Wiki. I am going to order the boards on Monday, and start some of the parts on Monday. I just found out that it takes 4-5 days for paypal to transfer the money to a bank account, so hopefully by the end of the week, I will be able to finish ordering all the parts, assuming that most of the orders are in by then.

I will start sending confirmation e-mails out, early next week, confirming the orders, and making sure that I have the correct addresses for the orders.

Once I get all the parts, I will ship them out as quickly as I can get them together and packaged. I am shipping them out in the order that I receive the payment, so keep this in mind.

This order should go quite well. As for the pcbs, I decided to get them red, with white silkscreen, after seeing the Concentra pictures on the forum:

Make sure to add the shipping method, according to your geographical location.

I also wanted to let you know, not too late I hope, that Paypal takes away (they call it charges) some money from each transaction.
With my stuff on Ebay I think it is almost 2 pct..

So take that in account.... I do not think that any of us wants to visit you in a shelter!

Paypal takes about 3.2% of all of the money coming in, but with the increased quantity of orders, everything will work just fine. I won't be going broke, and still be able to donate a sizable amount to diyaudio.

Without paypal, I would be going crazy if I had to take in money orders and wire transfers.

Here are the actual fees:
"2.2% + $0.30 USD to 2.9% + $0.30 USD
and extra for currency exchange"
Given the large percentage of international orders, it currently is 3.4%

Next time I do a group order, I will account for this.

Brian you might want to edit your first post to include the area where we can pay with paypal.

Thanks for the advice, I got a mod to edit it for me.


To all of those who submitted orders so far, I am going to work up some confirmation e-mails early in the week, after a significant portion of the Wiki has finished. I will verify your address, and the items ordered.

Please submit your orders by Monday if possible, I will withdraw the money from paypal on Monday night, which it will take 4-5 days to get to my bank account, then I can start all the parts at the end of the week. I will order the pcbs on Monday or Tuesday with my available credit card funds, and start ordering the parts that take longer than others. I will try real hard to get these kits/boards shipped out ASAP. The orders with only boards will most likely be shipped out first, if I am still waiting for components.

If you have any questions, drop me an e-mail.

Raised the order to two kits (uninsulated), one additional PS board and 4 inslulated chips

I paid through the paypal system.

Should I adjust the wiki for one additional kit?

At this point, don't worry about the Wiki.


For the initial orders, I am counting all the orders payed for up to Monday night, and ordering enough parts to fill all these orders. I will not stop taking orders, but it might take an extra week for you to get your parts, as I will have to order more parts.

Bottom Line: Get your payment in ASAP if you want your kit shipped to you ASAP, as I am shipping out all the orders in the order that I have received the payment. If you order after Monday night, this is fine, but you might experience an extra week of delay in the shipment of your order.

I currently have received roughly half of the orders in the Wiki.

I updated the Wiki:
http://www.diyaudio.com/wiki/index.php?page=NI+GC+PCB+Group+Order

With the ordering page up, I am not going by the original Wiki List, and only by the number of orders received. I will total up the orders received on Monday night and start ordering the parts. I will continue accepting orders after this, but they will take a little longer to be shipped out, due to having to order a second batch of parts. I am shipping all orders out, in the order of which the payment has been received.

Order Page:

If you have any questions, drop me an e-mail.

I have received approximated orders from about 1/3 of the people on the Wiki List so far.

I still don't get it. Now my dummy questions:
Are both +PGND of the Amp board connect to the + side GNd of the PSU board? and then - to - side? Is CGND the Case GND/ Central GND? If it is Case GND, am I going to connect it straight to the chassis? Does it mean that the PSU will be GNDed on the chassis?😕 Also how do you guys make the RCA, Binding post isolated from the case? Do you drill a bigger hole than the actrual RCA Jack but smaller than the isloate pad, then make the RCA don't touch the case while the isolate pad holding it? I'm confused.😕
