I/O ("eye-oh") is a computer term. OFF/ON should rightly become O/I.
I thought "I/O" was actually meant to represent "one" and "zero," respectively? In any case, I still think "On/Off" or "Power" would be clearer here, but I'm fine with whatever the group ultimately decides so we can proceed with the order.
I've done group buys before, but not one so large and where I have to do all of the shipping. Usually the company takes care of it, but not here for some reason. I have no problems doing it, I just need to get the bubble mailers and some printable labels. No biggy, hopefully.
I’m wondering if we should setup two major distribution points to lower shipping costs, such as the EU, USA (ME), and Canada.
Apparently Canada charges a "$5.00 processing fee ($8.00 for Priority Post) for each package to clear Canada Customs." Unless this is incorrect?
I have no idea what the EU or Other Countries Charge.
Peoples thoughts?
Does anyone know how we deal with the import / customs from the US to EU, Canada, etc?
I feel like we should donate a few dollars to the diyaudio website, as a thank you for hosting us and the GB? Would this be okay with people? If we have 100 panels and everyone chips in an extra 10 cents, that gives $10 to the site.
Jokener you have an email!

I already said I wanted two front but never said for witch case. I would like one for B2 and one for B3 case both in black.
As for the design I'm not dificult. I'll go with the majority.
Thanks

I - Initiate
O - Off
Well that's what I always thought anyway.
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't.
Whatever is on there I'm sure everyone will work out what the button does
A lot of good designs on here though.

Look here for I/O definition. Definitely not on/off.

P.S. Jokener: where on your Mac's do you see the I/O symbol? I cannot see it on any of my 5+ macs!?

Well, you can't use a dictionary for the definition of a symbol.
If you search for 'lightning bolt', it is also not shown as a warning sign for electricity...
So, while you have shown I/O is used for In/Out, you have failed to show this was the first and intended meaning of the 'symbol' I/O. 🙂
As to the Apple computers: The power button itself has the symbol on it (quite the obvious location, actually ^^).
But we are really nitpicking here.

Hahahaha.. I like it!
As a golden rule of design that I use for myself: Whenever you're in doubt, ask yourself: What would Apple do?
I kid you not, most of the time you get the exact correct solution with this approach, even when designing race cars, furniture or amp enclosures.

O/I is actually the common 'symbol' for antique beer cans with Opening Instructions. But I have serious doubts that anyone will try to connect their ADC or get rough with a churchkey whether it's I/O or O/I.
I know...
The ~12VAC actually bugged me for lack of accurate meaning.
But since that is fixed, I am happy and now it has come to an argument of personal preference.

I admit I did entertain the thought of labeling the gain switch TURBO. Yeah, it's pretty cheesy, but it'd be something an old PC user could toss back at Apple. 😀
This is with the ~ taken out and the I/O replaced with the apple power button

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

OKAY so we have this WRONG!
Power symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The power symbol means standby? so we should be using the IEC 5010 symbol? Not that I care.

Alright bed time, 1:40 is my limit for tonight. I should be around tomorrow afternoonish.
If we like the power button, tell me and I'll send it off to FPE

No, the IEC 5009 symbol is correct. You switch off the amps, but not the regulators. Also the batteries (if present) are being kept charged. So the device is not being fully disconnected from the power supply.
