You can't find it in here? http://bwgroupsupport.com/manuals/bw-service Not to encourage this, BTW. I would read the welcome if I were you.

Probably because the tall voice of reason intervened When he gets back to the states, we'll have to pummel him mercilessly...

Yes, very nice work, and love the color! Are those based on Kerry's mini board?

Thanks John and Soren, I wasn't going to do my own front panel machining nor the rear panel. I had drilled and tapped blind holes in the heatsinks for the L brackets some time ago. I seem to recall the aluminum being somewhat "gummy", but they turned out fine. This was a few years ago after the DynaFET GB. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

HiFi2000 question(s): For those who have used the pesante dissapante, any of you have experience with both the aluminum and steel rear and top and bottom panels? If so, which do you like the best? If aluminum, is it worth it to get them from hifi2000/modushop, or could FPE do them? If so, any drawings available for the panels? 2U 300mm case. Cam Expert: do they still accept FPE designer files, or do you have to supply cad files? I don't have any cad software on my Mac, and no experience with it. For Mac, any cad software recommendations? I do have Fusion360 but haven't used it. Not even sure what all it is capable of. The case I bought back in the group buy was with the steel panels, and I can't say I'm feelin' them It would be around $70 ordering them thru modushop or diyaudio store. I suppose if I went thru modushop, I could have them do the machining on them for the IEC, etc. Might be worthwhile to just get another 10mm faceplate from them and have them machine that as well, and re-anodize.

My condolences to you and your family, HS

Thanks for all the discussion! I'm getting ready to case the DynaFet up and am trying to determine how I want to switch the power. A 2 switch approach (one on the inlet, and a ring LED vandal type switch on the front) appeals to me. A plus would be not having to run line AC to the front. I'm using a 2U Pesante Dissipante 300mm (from the age old group buy), so have plenty of room. Voltage selection would be a plus, though not required. Are many of you still using SS relay to switch the AC? I'm looking at the Amb board, and I guess might need a 2nd xfrmr, turned on by the back panel switch, to then switch the main xfrmr AC?

Went back and looked at this again; a lot to like here! Neat power inlet... some kind of Schaffner inlet? EDIT: nope, Schurter (found it).

Happy Birthday Doug!

I assume these cases are from China? Any hint as to who/where they are from? Everytime I see one of your pics, I keep thinking I like those...

did a search on "printing 1st class labels" or something like that which brought me to this page: https://www.etsy.com/teams/7722/discussions/discuss/10736601/ Luck I guess. I always liked Paypal shipping, and had forgotten about it.

Happy Birthday Duggeh!

just watch the gauge... not sure Home Depot carries the ones that do up to 30ga.

A lot of people use navships wire in their projects, though I haven't used the particular one you have. I use 24ga hookup wire from navships, as well as 18 or 20ga for power. Teflon jacketed (big plus).

Can't remember who posted the original BOM, don't think it was you. The Wima are pretty much the only ones that large cap in that small of footprint. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm curious why the BOMs I see show Elna Silmic caps for the 220uf caps on the PSU? Usually audio grade caps are spec'd for coupling caps (Pass seems to like them), but for a PSU? Some reason that I am missing? I used Pana FM/FR for the ones I built. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is it one of the Bulgin MP0045 switches? Latching? I need to get one, or something like it. I know Birgir was using switches from one of the PC modding places, frozenCPU. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just had to try it to see if I remembered... NoNoNoNoNoNo And no way in hell that is filburt's doing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
