Ultimate 4U 500mm Chassis - Who is interested?

[Blk Dynamite]

I used that XLR on my Aleph J and F4

 

[HeyBill]

Cool. Works for me.

 

[Blk Dynamite]

Those look very nice, and even reasonably priced.
Good recommendation

My biggest draw for them are they keep a strong contact for years after many plug and unplugs. I swap out amps a lot and these connections hold up nicely

The cardas speaker binding post looks ok too.

Does anyone have any objections or a different preference?

 

[Blk Dynamite]

I think sonic craft is a vendor here, maybe they’d give a little discount as well?

 

[HeyBill]

I've ordered a lot of parts from them over the years. I have the pure copper version of the proposed binding posts. They are quick help and the prices are teasonable.

 

[HeyBill]

Typed too fast. You know what I mean.

 

[gary s]

I agree with the Cardas recommendation from Blk Dynamite, much cheaper than Furutech and could be even cheaper with a negotiated GB. Anyone in the US there prepared to look at that possibility?

 

[PKI]

I will get a pair of those binding posts if we do a GB and the price is right

If anyone is against something we can confirm alternative solutions that might have the same hole pattern/dimensions.

 

[gary s]

Hole sizes are important as there seems to be no standard on this amongst all the brands of binding posts and RCA sockets. Maybe the XLR connectors share a common hole size.

Might be wise to have pilot holes drilled in the back panel for the binding posts and RCA sockets, so members can drill to suit their preferred hardware - unless of course we can all agree to a particular type for both.

 

[2 picoDumbs]

That is the plan

 

[pinkfloyd4ever]

With so many varying preferences on signal input and speaker output connectors, and the lack of standard hole sizes, I agree that pilot holes are probably the way to go.

 

[HeyBill]

How goes it. Any news?

 

[2 picoDumbs]

I might wait till the weekend before doing a back panel.
Give everyone a chance to investigate further options, then we make a decision how to proceed.

I am interested for my Sissy-SIT build.
p.s. I just ordered from Diy Store, using option added to 4U chassis section.

 

[SRMcGee]

It all depends on the price and timing. I'm waffling between a 4U / 300mm and 4U / 400mm chassis for my F6 build. 4U / 500mm seems like crazy overkill, but if the price is right then I could be convinced.

Regards.

UMS heatsinks do not exist for the 4U 500 chassis you have ordered, the item you have purchased is for substituting regular heatsinks with UMS heatsinks in the 5U 400 chassis.



You can contact the help desk and ask for a refund for just that item

4U / 500mm seems like crazy overkill, but if the price is right then I could be convinced.

The standard 4U 500 chassis is already available on store but it does not include UMS heatsinks. For the special "PicoUMS" chassis we are still waiting for the final specs to prepare a quotation

 

[hifibluedevil]

Thank you Gianluca, can I keep 5U/400mm UMS heatshinks with my order? I can use them in the next order of a 5U chassis.

 

[Gianluca]

You are most welcome You have just ordered the "substitution" of the UMS heatsinks and not the heatsinks themselves, that's why I was saying you can ask for a refund if you want.


One more thing: only the silver front panel can be substituted as the black one does not have any pre-drilled holes in the back part.
