They claim it's gonna get here today.
This is the current, at 11AM PST, status. It shows that the package somehow ping'd pong'd from KY (Erlanger) to CA (Mission Viejo) and back... broke the speed of sound or at least managed to be in two places at once: 7:09 AM PST is 10:09 AM EST.
This stupidity has to be intentional. Is someone actively sabotaging their data from the inside?
Are they sure the package didn't leave Erlanger last night at 10:09 PM and someone tagged it as AM?
Pictures, colors...

BTW, I just bought a pair of each of them... and I'm looking at a Topping D90LE I just bought used... that one too can be op amp rolled if I install sockets,
This hobby gets expensive fast, huh?

Tony,
exactly! Why don't you ever get shipping problems with Mouser or Digikey orders? I had the same problem with another amazon item we needed for the house. Wife ordered it. Took 2wks instead of 3 days, got lost and then had to be re-sent with 2days UPS.
I think Amazon sellers use the equivalent of flying standby or 'standby shipping' of some type.
You never know where your sht is and often it gets delayed or lost. I avoid amazon like the plague.
I bought my mogami XLR gold intercons from the guitar center. Drove there got them, picked up a couple more things and drove home.

We need to split this thread into a P3 User's Thread so we can discuss the op amp rolling and related vicissitudes there. Then the building can stay in this thread.
Maybe The Management can do it for us?

Yes, for the love of all that’s good take the side discussions to a new thread. I’ll even throw a link to it in the top post.
Another benefit is that this design is Reviseable by means of retaining the investment in the chassis, the PSU and the connectors. Wayne could issue another pair of, or a bigger single mainboard and it could just plop right into the existing chassis. So the $750 outlay means that in a couple of years, maybe $200 for a new phono board design if it comes. Very appealing!
of course, unless you've made several P3s if you cannibalize the preamp you've got now to make P4, P5... then you can't compare them readily. or go back if P(x) doesn't float your boat.
and I get too attached to components I've made. it's a feature.

Well I've made three P3s and am about to cannibalize the spare unit. You will hear about this next week.
Got the balanced cable so I hooked up both SE and balanced outputs to an Iron Pre Bal.
The SE and balanced outputs work concurrently, so you can either run it into two preamps or into one with both inputs. With the Iron Pre Bal it's easy to switch from SE to balanced mode, so I might try that as well.
I strongly recommend you wire both the SE and Balanced outputs to the P3. You can then share a single turntable to two parallel systems.. one SE and one Balanced.
Can't say I hear a difference as I just turned it on and it's warming up. The system was already very quiet with a very low noise floor.
After one LP side, it's sounding fantastic, as usual. With the default opamp still.
Oh. Merry Christmas.

I plan to implement both SE and balanced because I decided to make my new system balanced and one day, hopefully, I'll be able to take my Pearl on tour to let my vinyl-addicted friend listen in his system.
PS -- Merry Christmas back atch'all.

Merry Christmas to all. Substitute for the DRV135 for balanced operation looks like this: THAT 1646 Balanced Driver going to order Four from Mouser Mouser THAT1646 as they are instock and equiv/improvement over DRV135. The THAT datasheet suggests Ferrite Beads, could I just put these on at the XLR connector?
It shouldn’t, but never say never.
Not the kind of thing I have any interest in trying, meaning I have no interest in doing an A-B comparison, as they should be considered completely interchangeable, and would gladly use either in a build.
