My mistake there, i must have misread somthing, 8 is the correct amount indeed.
That is just a quick BOM to give everyone an idea, still needs some finalising to read the correct values etc, like you mentioned.
Yes, the first six people in the group buy will get the 1nf caps for free, as kindly supplied by rjm. I did not include this in the draft BOM to avoid confusion. When i request funding i will deduct the price of the capacitors for the first 6 people on the table. If they are not requiring a kit i will just send the capacitors along.
Once i get home tonight i will edit the BOM and finalize it.
I must have missed the carbon resistors, that would make sense for them to be a better choice then film for damping.

Rhys,
Since it looks like just about everyone is going in for a kit, and I never made any preconditions, why don't you just order the remaining 1nF caps you need to make up the difference, and average the cost of those parts over the total number of kits? Those opting out of the kits don't get caps. Sorry.

This is what i was originally thinking, i agree with you. I will take this route, im just talking to suppliers trying to avoid import tax, otherwise i will have to write the correct value on customs forms for everyone so i can provide proof the parts were exported, to claim it back.
rhysh...
nearly certain now that theres a 150euro threshold now for import duties/taxes. Might be worth considering splitting the order into a few batches to stay under this. Or if you want to send a shipment or 2 to me and I forward it immediately to you... if thats any help. Maybe it only complicates matters, but let me know if you want help.

Hi woodturner-fran. Reguarding the PCB, it is really easy. I used presentation transparency sheet where I print the PCB image, top and back. Then I aligned both film layers very precisely and keep them in place using a piece of scotch tape. I insert the PCB material behind the two films and expose both side one after an other. Just devellop and etch it. Voilà instant PCB. IT takes me about one hour to get the complete PCB.
I wrote a two parts article on home made PCB into Bas Horneman DIY magazine. I can send you a copy. The file are big however with a lot of pictures. Or maybe ask Bas for his magazine.
Here the PCB platted, ready for drilling.

OT but....
Endezone: big difference though is that the phonoclone worked right out of the can, just tried a few different experiments,
The F5 has me stumped. Don't know what the hell is going on with it. Wouldn't mind but I had the chassis all painted, finished and ready to roll first! Anyway, i hope I get it sorted. Have to admit that now its down to changing components one by one to see what the story is.
You guys are going to have a very nice phonostage each!
