hum a hum a hum... I think I'll be trying something from here: Wolgram Products- Sescom Enclosures prices are right and they look decent to boot!

heh. I just was on their site did you purchase them direct? There was another company back that I found that made cases that look like the little creek headphone amplifiers, and like the Whest phono preamps, but I cannot seem to find them now.. oh well. edit: found 'em: www.nutech-eng.com

any recommendations on a nice little case that could fit a single PCB? They are 7"x5"x~3" high. The largest Hammond is oh so close..

agreed...

upload them to rapidshare

I plan on using a chassis mount rectifier bridge and then a single cap which will be mounted with a clamp. I'll probably leave out the AC filtering. I contacted an individual who sells Pearl kits asking for a few psu boards, and he didn't reply to me

these look sweet: Low Voltage Transformers - 30v to 200v SNC Transformer 30v @ 0.5 amps (TP) 25-3006 SNC transformer, hermetically sealed. Harris P/N: 472-0643-000.

Excellent! I just sent them an e-mail.

hey, thanks! I wonder what the price is less than 10. I suppose its either those or the Avel donuts I posted above: - Avel Y236107 qty 1 = $22.47 + $11.39 shipping ($33.86 each) qty 5 = $21.35 + $13.55 shipping ($24.06 each) I think half of the interested parties in the parts kit wanted a "budget" version, so perhaps the Avel makes more sense here... Opinions?

Also, the picture attached looks like a PCB mount... Opinions?

it's used for the "Kevin Gilmore Cryo Challenge"

exactly what it does in this case... ok, I'll give it a go. Thanks guys!

The example would better be if it went like this: a buyer walks into a car dealership and looks up the guy who sold him his last 2 cars, and sold cars to 2 of his close friends. Car salesman then charges more than car is worth.

PowerCon... Interesting idea... I'll look in the morning.

yup, looks good. I usually include 20% for transformer headroom, as not to draw more than 80% of rated current from the transformer, but you're good in this case.

no bad at all, considering I had so much cable to work with (four conductors in each side). On another cable related issue, I have a Neutrik cable that I've made a mistake and am trying to use too thick of a cable. The bottom part barely fits and then I can hook up the section that takes the wire and then place the third part over this section and screw it onto the first... problem is, I cannot get the strain relief section that usually goes on second to fit. As a result it's not working so well..... any way to rig this up somehow, or is this not even coherent...

I think a lot of people involved with this know exactly where to kick I'm not, so I'll shut up.... I've given my $0.02 above anyways.

heh, plus it was a leading question that no one fell into... I can see paying more to recoup R&D costs.... but hitting up Kevin for what electrostatic amp should I put into production and then using something off a Stax manual doesn't qualify as R&D in my book. Pars: My real beef is that people pay for it in part because they trust Mikhail (RSA, etc.), *not* because the market will bear it. Granted, he rightly earned people's respect with his first amps, as they sound good and are reasonably priced (yes, I own one)... but I think this trust was taken advantage of. I don't have the words right now to flesh this line of thought out, but this is what I think the real problem is/was/will be. If I'm in the minority, so be it... I'm happy here.

well.. I have a stock cable that I converted to balanced... anyways, a fine looking cable... however, I do have to say that the lower end Furutech stuff is crap in my opinion (XLR chassis connectors, IEC inlet, 0.25" TRS plug, etc.).

yes. R2 drops about a quarter of a volt, so around 4.7/0.25 per board.. 50mA with headroom.

while no pics yet, I finished up my first Senn cable using the new Cardas connectors. It is an 8 conductor cable, with 3 different gauges of wire. I was wondering, do you use the larger pin on the connector for ground, or signal?

I'd be interested, if it was encapsulated / shielded. Digipete, you want to take the lead on this one?

^^^ I don't think so... anyways, I suppose no one really sees where I'm coming from, as there aren't many "amen brother!"'s out there. I suppose I'd run a business a bit different from him, that's all...

yeah, what if I could sell something for $1,000,000 that cost me $1? Artful pricing, or con artist?

mods: can we move this to the DIY forum and retitle the thread? I did some research on the transformer today, and here are some options: - Plitron transformer (part number #017017201) 30VAC @ 0.5A 30VA qty 1 = $64.21 US + $23.46 US shipping ($87.67 US each) qty 5 = $304.35 US + $33.89 US shipping ($67.78 US each) - Ebay R-Core transformer (R80-35 0-28-35 X2(1A)、0-5 (3A).0-12 X2(2A)) 100W R-Core Transformer 110V//240V ,Pre amplifier / DAC - eBay (item 250259952059 end time Jul-16-08 01:25:05 PDT) qty 1 = $83.00 US shipped - Avel Y236107 qty 1 = $22.47 + $11.39 shipping ($33.86 each) qty 5 = $21.35 + $13.55 shipping ($24.06 each)
