Hi Yarra Builders,
I am getting ready to place orders for the v2 Yarra main board, the WBA18 daughterboards, and the PCA daughterboards. If you haven’t done so yet, please place your pre-orders as soon as possible.

In case you haven’t seen the other thread, here is the front panel. Looks very very good indeed. JP says they start shipping the cases tomorrow.

Thanks,
X

If the transformers will be 70052K 2X12v , then I am assuming it is safe to use 25v caps. Am I correct?
Thanks

 

[xrk971]

Yes

Hi X. Will you be adding a Pre-Order for the PCA boards to your Etsy shop or will you track those separately? OR, are you still waiting for enough interest?

 

[xrk971]

I will be adding PCA today!

 

[xrk971]

PCA Pre-orders can be made here:

PCA Daughterboard for Yarra Preamp | Etsy

Gary S, you will be happy to know that JPS64 added the through hole pads for the 2SK170, just for you!

 

[gary s]

Thanks for the update X, tell JPS he does amazing work and it is very much appreciated around here, I think a few of the other members who might have a few 2SK170's still hanging around will appreciate that mod as well.

Will pre order via your Etsy store.

Well done again!!!!!

 

[bk856er]

Cross-posting from the enclosure thread. Has anyone identified a source for compatible Yarra RCA connectors, preferably USA based, or is the French vendor the only option?

BK

 

[xrk971]

Jhofland can tell you where to get them...

I think it was called Audiosonics. Not sure where they are though.

Jhofland can tell you where to get them...

I think it was called Audiosonics. Not sure where they are though.

Also available on Ebay.

I realize these are 90 degree. With a little elbow grease you can switch the positioning pins and bend the leads back straight. I've done it with success on my AKSA Lender Preamp board.

Thanks for all the folks who recently placed orders. I have not had a chance to update yet but will place orders for the boards shortly. I will scrutinize the PCA Gerbers and since it is so simple we can probably just order the production run without a verification build.
