Thanks again JPS64, for all the work you have put into the chassis and then to X who has also done a superb job on the PCB set, I also believe that a few others helped in the background, so to all involved - a big thanks to all concerned.

To members who have purchased the board set and the case, you have a superb product, so take your time with the build, check and test all resistors before soldering, double check component positioning before soldering - polarities etc...., and most of all make sure you solder with precision. most problems are caused by badly soldered joints from what I see in the various posts here. For members fairly new at it there are some good tutorials on line and it will pay to do some practise first on cheap matrix board with el cheapo resistors or similar. Also get and use the correct solder as well.

Gary S,
Thanks for the smooth and steady build tips. These boards have via stitching to tie the top and bottom identical high current low impedence paths/planes together. It is very easy to make a small solder bridge from one of the exposed vias to another trace, so be very careful with solder bridge. And it is always a good idea to measure the resistor and check against a schematic before installing. The off by a 1000x factor will keep the amp from working correctly.
 
Hi X,


HIFI2000 will start shipping tomorrow (had some problem with anodization).

Has anyone identified a source for compatible RCA connectors, preferably USA based, or is the French vendor the only option?

Hi BK. Cross-posting from the Yarra thread:

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.

That's a very attractive price, and I never considered bending the leads. Excellent! I was also looking into Vampire brand, but at 10x the cost....
