kevin gilmore Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Never got off the semi... On thursday its coming on a truck with a lift gate. Will drop it in the driveway, then i get to take the boxes inside myself. Looks like all the metal pieces together will end up about 40 lbs per amp. Quote
spritzer Posted October 5, 2009 Author Report Posted October 5, 2009 Looks like all the metal pieces together will end up about 40 lbs per amp. Good thing we don't have to worry about shipping completed amps. Quote
nattonrice Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 I can see me having to install supports in the base of my desk O.o I don't think Ikea had a Gilmorized T2, beta22 stack, and computer in mind when they designed this piece of shit. Quote
kevin gilmore Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Well all the resistors and caps showed up today. I'm glad to report that all the parts for the amp board are the sizes they are supposed to be, and the holes are the right diameter. Neutrik connector really was the right diameter because they are flat blades not round. Will check the power supply board later today. Soon this project is going to take over the house. Anyone know where craig gets his rubber/metal feet with the #10 screws?? I kind of like those, as i plan on 4 of them, not 3 because the thing is going to be so heavy. Quote

Neutrik connector really was the right diameter because they are flat blades not round. What version of the BOM did you use? Vishay resistors or my rather nutty collection from PCX? Anyone know where craig gets his rubber/metal feet with the #10 screws?? I kind of like those, as i plan on 4 of them, not 3 because the thing is going to be so heavy. Those do look nice and good show for not using cones. I hate those... Quote
kevin gilmore Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 Just standard RN60 dales... That does not concern me, i know the exact sizes. Its the 1 and 3 watt resistors that i wanted to be sure of. Quote
kevin gilmore Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 I have officially joined the ranks of the completely over the top and then some... (346 lbs) http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/hspile.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/hsindividual1.jpg Front and back should be here tomorrow/monday... Then the tops and bottoms. Quote
nattonrice Posted October 8, 2009 Report Posted October 8, 2009 That is wonderfully ridiculous =] Quote
spritzer Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Posted October 9, 2009 That pile won't last long though. 4 units needed per amp and all that... Quote
guzziguy Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Don't forget the giant Hollywood fan each owner will need to blow air over the heatsinks. Quote
kevin gilmore Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Actually i was thinking of hiring a couple of has been fanboys... Afterall, they have nothing else to do now... Have pretty firm pricing on the heatsinks with machining, and the angle pieces, will post soon. Quote

drp Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Has(always)been fan boy – check! Time on hands – check! Skilz for this level of build – Fail. Is there a Meta version? Quote
kevin gilmore Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Actually i was thinking that tuberoller would be the best to supply ventilation... Although i really had two other "HAS BEEN" fat fan boys in mind There are definitely some current fanboys that might work... Tomato comes to mind. Quote
spritzer Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Posted October 9, 2009 Tuberoller would certainly fit the bill... Quote
guzziguy Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 Ah, but would it be as good as a jamato/vcoheda balanced fan? Quote
spritzer Posted October 9, 2009 Author Report Posted October 9, 2009 Nothing would beat that brainless combo. Quote
morphsci Posted October 9, 2009 Report Posted October 9, 2009 I don't know I'm pretty sure old Tubez-of-fun outweighs the twins combined. Quote
kevin gilmore Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) So as we all know the amphenol stax connectors are less than ideal, and the real stax ones are generally unobtainable. so i got these guys to sell me just the pins from these sockets CMC--Teflon Tube socket and i evidently got the measurements right on the first try. (well to .0001 anyway) http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxc1.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/staxc2.jpg Was thinking of a dual stax connector made out of some crazy hard wood. Need to find the electrical impedance of hardwoods... Anyone know?? If i can get some more machine time this week i should have a finished amp chassis by saturday.
