Great. Thank you X. Now it's easier (for me) to find your Etsy store. I like to go Windows shopping every now and then.

Hi X,
Are you planning to make the Soft as a Feather Pillow Plus (SFPP) board available for purchase?

 

[xrk971]

Yes, thanks for reminding me. I’ll add that to the shop soon.

The HyperSET tube buffer BTSB is now up for preorders.

SFPP should be available in my shop now.

How do you twist your wire so neatly?

 

[xrk971]

I use silicone insulation wire so it’s quite soft and the strands are fine and soft. I twist by hand starting at one end and passing the wires through my thumb and index finger to keep them flat (2 or 3 parallel array) as they feed through. Try to make sure all wires receive equal twist rather than one wrapping itself around one that is essential a straight shot. The other hand does the twisting. There’s definitely some practice and technique involved but the soft wires help a lot.

I use 28ga silicone wire like this for small signal stuff like preamps and headphone amps.

Thank you for the tips!

I think I have a patience issue with that type of things. I saw people do it with drills as well, but that didn’t work for me either.

I’ll try that wire.

Hi X,
Sent a message about the single rail slb purchase?

 

[xrk971]

Hi Myles,
Sorry I missed your message here - yes there are single rail PCBs available in my shop. Select the single rail option.

[Kokanee]

Hi X, any of those single rail with the transistor orientation reversed available for purchase?

 

[xrk971]

Sorry all sold out a while back.

Hey X. Just saw your Etsy store. Congratulations.

 

[xrk971]

Thanks. I have had it for a while. It started out as a way to sell my pocket class A amp but worked well for handling logistics of group buys and preorders. Now I use it for all my stuff.
