My Take on X-BOSOZ

[Russ White]

Terminals

I prefer fastons(which is what I used here) to screw or spring type terminal blocks for several reasons, not the least of which is much more layout flexibility, but they also give excellent contact and make installs very easy.

Cheers!

The faston mounting points also are great for direct wiring. If you wanted to use screw-type terminals, choose models with 5.08mm (.2") pin spacing and they should fit just fine.

You can sign me up for some boards too actually. Just what I need is another project... But... I .. can't..... help it!!!

My bad. I missed the fact that you allready added connectors That kind of answers most of the things I wanted
Great work so far, Russ.

Thanks to everyone for all of the encouragement. It helps a lot!

I will have a new update on the PS sometime to tonight. Mostly will just try to get the HS completely on the PCB and the traces a bit thicker, although the current this thing moves it not much, so no need to go too crazy on that I don't think.

I think the preamp PCB itself is pretty well finished.

Cheers!

Terry, you dont want to know what that means in Danish

Even I think that the name CC-CCS-X-BZLS is getting way too convoluted. I think to recognize Russ' efforts putting together the pcb designs, we should call it simething like "BOSOZ with a Twist" or perhaps "Twisted BOSOZ"

What do you all think?

 

[BrianDonegan]

Well, *I* think it's an excellent idea...

 

[Russ White]

perhaps "Twisted BOSOZ"

What do you all think?

I think we have a winner.

Thanks Terry. You have been very kind and a huge help.

Cheers!

"Twisted BOSOZ"

I love that one It is in fact twisted! I am just soldering up a "Bride of Zen" to drive a F2 amp, and have to admit that this "Mother" of preamps, did get a bit twisted on its way

Do you plan on a group buy or anything? Cause it's getting big!

Count me in!

Do you plan on a group buy or anything?

I do believe thats the plan

Steen

 

[BrianDonegan]

Actually, it won't be a group buy in the traditional sense. We buy a bunch of boards and kits up front, then sell them through the web site at cost + a dollar or two to cover packaging, labeling etc.

Group buy prices, better availability and less risk (well, for buyers anyway).

I am sure, with you two guys at the steering-wheel, it will be a succes! Nothing like what we have seen here on the forum lately Sad story! I dont mind paying a few dollars more, if its a safe deal Who does??

Ok third pass at PS.

Hope this is pretty close:

Would it be easy to make also a Sub out?

Lets say you have a great sub you wanted to use that had poweramp and filter built in.. that would be a great feature..

Possible?

[steenoe]

Russ, that board is sweet looking That is an excact BoZ kind of board Just the way......

Steen

 

[steenoe]

Possible?

Short answer; No!
