Poll..anyone interested in an Aikido linestage PCB group buy?

[Bas Horneman]

I'll take 2 PSU boards in addition to the 2 main boards I already ordered.

Are you sure? One psu board takes care of 2 Aikido boards the psu boards are psuedo dual mono 😉

I'm in for 2 PSU-boards as well.. That is, 4 Aikido and 2 PSU total.

Suggested psu for the pcb (changed some values)

The transformer can be anywhere in the 250VAC to 300VAC range.

Especially for the stateside builders of the Aikido this might be usefull...
DigiKey partslist..just click on the buttons...and take it from there..

I have compiled a list of parts that are of good quality and sufficient ratings.

Thanks to member dsavitsk for showing me how!

Go ahead and try it out..you won't have to order (unless you want to)...but it calculates the costs for you.

There is no % added or anything..to the prices..I made it just for your convenience.

Sorry could not find 6n1p/6n6p or sockets for pcb at digikey.

O yes..and you still need a decent potmeter..maybe something like this will be the perfect touch!? 😀

OK, I will go dual-psuedo-mono. Change my order to 1 psuedo mono board.

What is the best place for the stepped audio attenuator,
- input,
- between the stages,
- output ?

 

[Bas Horneman]

What is the best place for the stepped audio attenuator,

Don't know really...before and after both have advantages and disadvantages..

I just put it before...never thought about putting it in between stages..

I'll take 1 PSU board to go with the 2 mainboards You already have me down for.

Thanks
