They look pretty but this chap appears to selling amps made with diyaudio store boards (among others) and other pass designs. Didnt think they could be used for commercial use?

I like the dining table.

He’s got a lot of listings.
Audiomart UK also

The only one I do not know is A3...was it diy project some where I missed?

 

[Dennis Hui]

Probably Aleph 3.

 

[adason]

I see...thanks.

Isn't "Neurochrome Modulus-686" from another designer seen in this forum and on his own web-store? Gee, what is Tom's name???

That's a lot of models. He must have a whole garret full of elves hammering and soldering. Some nice wire-bending there.

 

[planet10]

Yes, Modulus is Tom’s 3886 amp.

The ebay seller's name is Joe Henry, I think. His amps seem to have a decent reputation for build quality, here in the UK. I have to say I'm surprised by the number of his Pass/FW listings - eight at the moment, I think. At what point does a hobbyist become a cottage industry?

PS ...and he is using the Pass name, in the item description of some of his listings, despite what's said in the thread Dennis linked to.

You cannot commercialized designs from others without their official autorization.

If it is the case, it violated the very spirit of this forum (and probably some regulations).

This is precisely why few electronic designer do not share their design.

This aggression will should not stand, man.

we are all, more or less, leeching Papa's ......

but, there are Leechers, and there are Leechers

it's pretty much clear what sort of Leecher is that fleabay guy

Interesting angle of putting a copyright notice on his board.

I generally do not ever use EBay. The one time I did was because the vendor - Pete Millet - only sells through EBay, and he is a known and verified designer/seller of his own products.

I own one of Joe’s Amps , the build quality is second to none. As support him as I do/try to with anyone in the UK that brings hifi to us all .

So, you support someone who is making money building designs that were made available for DIY use, not commercial exploitation. Hmm. Yet you say you try to support anyone "that brings hifi to us all". I'd have thought that Nelson Pass has brought rather a lot of "hifi to us all", and is somewhat more deserving of support than this eBay seller.

It looks like he does nice work. Too bad he's using his skill to corrupt the new/used market for official FW amps. Where did he get those TO heatsink brackets on the F5?
