Unlikely, I doubt there's enough there to turn it into a full time business. There's a reason that you don't see 100 operations like this. It's not because there aren't talented people to do it, it's a cut-throat, low-margin, compete with China electronics world. Ask yourself, would you still buy their kits and boards if the prices were 3 to 4x what they are now? Cause that's what it'd take to make it profitable enough to go full time.

Nice! Please share your thought. I've actually be using my Ipod Touch as a mini-kindle lately and I've been surprised at how well it works in that regard. Not sure I could ever justify the real thing at the current prices but it's still fun to dream.

I was wrong, the Cardas bits are uncommonly affordable in terms of audiophile XLRs... KOSMIC.us | Interconnect Connectors

This just in...

Yes, but if that's at $100/sf (even roughly) it's a bargain. My house is assessed right around $200/sf.

Pfft, it's the better part of double that in my neck of the woods. Your average 1500sf house will run $250k+ (out in the sticks) and "in town" it's not uncommon (still) for 1200sf condos to be well into the 300s. It's also worth mentioning that while NH does not have an income tax our property taxes are pretty astronomical, I pay ~$20/$1000 on my house which is about average for the area.

I don't think either of the two reviews that I wrote made use of number scales and both were read by at least a few folks. Of course I think they both have bitten the dust now (can't find them on HF, both were in the "reviews" sub-forum that no longer exists) so I can't verify that but I figured it was worth mentioning.

If I recall correctly he was willing to share the schematic.

Evidently I do not know the right people.

Good grief those are expensive.

That seals it, I'm packing the O2s for the trip. And Naaman and Jacob, can't wait to meet you guys face to face.

Sweet, clearly they follow my general design preference.

Drywall chaser?

Feel free to send the 6SN7s my way. Otherwise any competent DIY'er can build you a reliable 7N7 adadpter.

Here's to hoping everything works out ok Stretch.

We'd love to see them but non-AK members can't view pics.

I can confirm that generally a baby's butt is often not very clean.

It's a bit late for that, assuming what he's shown is at least a working prototype in the finished chassis?

Except that he told me a year ago the only reason he didn't have the working prototype at CanJam was that he was waiting on were custom trafos from Plitron.

He's almost always done introductory pricing, in fact I can't remember I time when he did not. But the odd thing here is that in the past any time Ray has posted an announcement thread he's had product on hand to ship immediately, even with the B52 (again if my memory serves me correctly). [edit]after further thought this might not be correct[/edit] So in this instance to announce things saying that he would be posting a price and internal pics soon and then to have not posted in that thread for two weeks now seems rather out of character and not in keeping with the original announcement. The 3 month lead time, well I just don't know what to make of that other than to say it doesn't seem like Ray's SOP.

I read it as Carrot Top Ass.

3 month delivery time, eh? Something doesn't seem right there.

Oooohhh, definitely going to have to track that down!
