Thanks for negotiating this stuff marc Now I just need hifi2000 to start responding to me again gahh. I feel that the quality at Golden Phoenix is excellent, so I went with them. I know a lot of people feel different about this, but in the end someone just had to make a decision. In this case, I have a relationship with them and didn't really want to have to start up another account. Also, I didn't feel that the extra 60% or so that Imagineering wanted was really worth it. For a good number of us, that cost really added up. I hope it all works out With regard to shipping, at the moment, everything will be coming to me so I'll need to look at shipping again once everything arrives. I added a few dollars so that I can go ahead and purchase more electrostatic bags and boxes and other packing materials. I will still need to charge for the final shipping costs though.

spritzer Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I guess I will take the payments. If the money is already in your account, there is usually no charge. Otherwise, please add 3.4%, or even better use a PayPal calculator, which I'd prefer that you do to double check my numbers below. I'll be sure to let you know if the amount transferred is correct. Just FYI, if you send the money as a personal payment then the sender has the option of paying the fee directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beefy Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Just FYI, if you send the money as a personal payment then the sender has the option of paying the fee directly. I noticed an option for that when I sent myself some money from an overseas bank account. Quite handy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Certainly is. I would always have to pay the 3.5% fee even when I had money in the account but now it's just a few cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvdunhill Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Black mask and gold immersion? Payment sent. Oops, should have mentioned that. Yes indeed. Jacob and I agreed that HASL would be better choice though for his surface mount boards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atothex Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hrm I don't think PP charged fees on my payment. Well, enjoy your extra $2.23, Marc. Don't spend it all in one place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torpedo Posted August 6, 2009 Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Money sent, hopefully your fees calculation is right and you receive the money net. Otherwise let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 ok, sent requests out to two people. Couldn't figure Smeggy's account out, so you'll have to send it my way instead. Dan contacted pfkman32, so... we should be good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DigiPete Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Any pics of the final board layout, and is there a final bom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted August 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 Any pics of the final board layout, and is there a final bom? oops, just noticed this. I'm still waiting on the final files from Jacob, so you'll have to get the layout from him. I'll be sure to post once I get them off to the fab. I think the final BOM is more or less the original schematic, plus the changes I outlined above for the bias (for your case specifically). There was one more resistor change that Kevin suggested that will effect the bias, but I haven't tried that myself, and it probably won't help your case out all that much. Someone was asking about minimum gain, and I think 5 is probably a good number for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigiPete Posted August 10, 2009 Report Share Posted August 10, 2009 my case now is to run 100-150 ma per output device, using half the ouput devices per board I guess, if someone (you, digger or J4CBO) could send my the final parts list, I can start the research for the parts buy.

MASantos Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 So, team Spain, when do you expect having this ready? With easyjet's 20€ flights to Madrid, could I invite myself to a listening session? :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 We're working on it Boards have been purchased and should be here pretty soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With easyjet's 20€ flights to Madrid, could I invite myself to a listening session? :cool: I don't think there's a prototype finished before mid October in the best case. As Luvdunhill said, the boards have to be ready yet. Then there's the getting some needed parts... Probably Picaudio can tell you better since he'll be building most of the Spanish team units.

PICaudio Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 When all components arrive at home, I will start to make the amplifiers, the dynafet is my priority project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I'll will start shipping the completed kits early next week, as I just received the FedEx tracking number for the boards. If there are any special instructions, address changes, etc. please let me know as soon as possible. Honestly, I'm not exactly sure how everything is grouped for the multiple personality builds, so sending a PM anyways my way won't hurt. Vlad, I'm assuming a single shipment is okay now? Thanks!
