I've taken the sad decision to relinquish my custody of these lovely amplifier boards. The heatsinking is just a little inconvenient for me with my equipment rack not really giving me enough air space. Being the main living room, (and being married)! I don't really have many options.
But my loss is someone's gain! And inspired by the very nature I came to have these amps and Randy's overall generosity on here, I could only do the same and give them back to the community.
So again using Randy's giveaways as inspiration I shall ask that those entering are keen to build this amplifier. If it appears in the swap meet I'm sure you will be scorned!
If interested please add you name to the list. If you could precede your name with the number in numerical order, will just help me with the random draw.
This will take place on Saturday 21st September at noon GMT.
I only ask that you cover postage.
You may see that I removed some resistors to 'detune' it to relieve some heat, but I shall reinstate these.!
Good luck!

I love that these will get a new home through another raffle. Thank you for paying it forward, Jim!
These were my first Aleph 30 boards for testing/prototyping. After months of happy use they made it into a raffle, then off to the UK, and now they're up again.
To reiterate a key point from Jim 6L6 - "Everyone needs an Aleph!" I have to agree, and I've been running A30 monos in my home for a couple of years now based on the updated group buy version of these PCBs.
Good luck to the raffle entrants!

Am in shock...
Have never won anything in the 73 years I have been on this earth.
Does this mean that every 73 years I'll get a prize? Can't wait to be 146 years old...
Seriously, these boards will serve as replacements when needed for the 4 sets of monoblocks built so far. Am going in the bi-amp direction so they might get used for that purpose.
AND TO RANDY Thatcher:
Your Aleph build has made a dramatic improvement in my listening world.
