Group Buy - Carbon V7.0

[sorenb]

it is adequate to do the payment (remember to put in "Carbon V7 Group Buy" and alias (usually Head-Case ID)) no real need for a post in that regard.
I usually get mail notification from Paypal about the payment. I update the sheet right after.
So, keep an eye on the sheet, and if your payment doesn't show up pm me, and we'll sort it out.

From time to time it happens that someone runs into some kind of trouble making the payment right away for various reasons.
Please do notify me if that is the situation and we work something out. 

Thanks to @mwl168 for handling US/Canada.

Kevin has updated the HV PSU boards as of today to contain the softstart option (SWS) as the FAT boards. Those Skinny (SWS) will be used for the Group Buy.

Having bought only the left side ones, is that a problem for me?

Well, if you already have "right" ones (with BIAS) you either don't use the switch on the "left"s (just ignore the components), or you add the switch to the "right"s you already have. @congo5 found some utilty boards at the flea market that can easily be cut/drilled to serve the purpose.
Or you can add three "rights" to you basket ...

Choices are many

Thanks. I changed change my order to 2 left and 2 right. Paid all 4.

I will change it in the spreadsheet

I´m a newbee for this project (previously I built a KGST). Could somebody let me know which are the pcb boards necessaries to build a complete KGSSHV Carbon project? (Sorry, I´m a little confused for all the options offered in the group buy)

Thanks a lot!

Yes, and as usual you can still get in, I've seen you already added yourself ;o)

Stuff was ordered last monday, but the manufactor did some mistakes and didn't respond ...so it seems the order will be accepted today finally.

[judo]

Thanks! As always ( I will pay from home, the proxy here does not let me reach the spreadsheet)

[sorenb]

Phoned the guys and made sure everything is moving forward. We will receive the stuff friday next week.

For those new to the party or been moving since last time, please update me at [email protected].

Hi Sorenb,

Not sure if I can withdraw this group buy as I just received some boards from friends locally here (their spare boards from last GB). Just let me know if my quantity have been included and I will pay anyway. Thanks.

you can check out anytime but you can never leave ...Hotel Head-Case

Well I'm a-runnin' down the road, tryin' to loosen my load
I've got seven amplifiers on my mind
Four that have really blown me, two that really thrown me
One that is a fave of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your Stax stats drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don't even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand, and take it easy

 

Well, I'm a-standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
I see an amp, my word, with a DAC on board

Glowin' bright to make some noise for me

Come on, baby, don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet tones are gonna sway me
We may lose and we may win, but we'll keep on building them.
So open up I'm listenin' in, so take it easy

oh, boy ... me thought you dingos was all into the three brother screaming like pi'gees and this local farm girl crying her way through Sandy 

Wink & Clean ....you only need a drummer with porn-mustache to throw ZZ off the throne, although I don't recommend copying too close and call the band WC TOP

bravo sir...you are a poet

Clean build, new cans
And I don't know what I am listenin' to.
Silk sound, bold notes,
I don't need a reason why.

 

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Cause every dude's crazy 'bout a slick toned can.

 

Gold sound, diamond sharp,
I ain't missin' not a single thing.
Cool riffs, sound's clean,
When the notes glide out It's gonna do you in.

 

They come runnin' just as fast as they can
'Cause every doll's crazy 'bout a slick toned can.

 

Top sound, top beat,

I don't stop listenin' so I don't eat.
Black background, white notes,
playin' sharp and winnin' my votes.

We come runnin' just as fast as we can
'Cause every listener's crazy 'bout a sharp toned can.

Hi Head cases I've just discovered Stax :-) I'm using a SRM1 Mk2 which I bought (as it turned out in bits) on Ebay. I found all the information here to set it up and it's brilliant. I then heard that about the KGSSHV carbon and how good it is. I would very much like to build one. I posted here but can't find my post, I'm new to Forums. Can anyone point me to a post/ list of boards I need to build this amp please. I'll put my name on the spreadsheet when I know what I need. I work at the Canterbury University in New Zealand if anyone is local.

Thanks !

[johnwmclean]

2 x amp boards

1 left and 1 right psu board (left board has onboard low voltage supply, right board has the onboard bias supply)
or
use 1 + and 1 - grlv boards (golden reference low voltage boards) which then gives you flexibility to use 2 right psu boards for pro and normal bias

[Hippyskygod]

Cheers! Ok I tried to add 2 amp boards and a left and right skinny PSU to the spreadsheet at the start of this thread. Computer says no. Can someone please add these for me and I can pay for them by PayPal or transfer directly. Thanks so much for your help. I'm really looking forward to building this up.  I'm using a Pono player which sounds really good, but much better through the balanced output mode.

[johnwmclean]

I think Soren has closed this group buy as it’s already ordered and proceeding.

Maybe Soren will chime it and let you know of any spares.

I guess the Group Buy should have been kept open for a few weeks more. Anyways, called the manufactor and got more amps board made, as a second round, thus the shipping will be delay.

[Hippyskygod]

Thanks Soren  :-) Let me know how to pay and when you need it.
