kevin gilmore Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 So its going to end up cheaper than i thought. So sue me. Mostly its because the power supply board is not going to be full size and that is going to make things cheaper. So the amplifier board really is what i said above unless there is some other charge i don't know about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrarroyo Posted November 14, 2009 Report Share Posted November 14, 2009 Darn, this is looking awesome! It is almost making me want an stax set up. But like many no money available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigster Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Woah... Just came across this thread, must have been blind all this while (though I did only just joined the Headcase community ). This project looks awesome! I'll would dearly love to get my hands on one of these monsters. Now I know where to put ALL my hard earned money.... This IS my wet dream!

kevin gilmore Posted November 25, 2009 Report Share Posted November 25, 2009 Well then, a couple of more pictures http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/t2chassis14.jpg http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/t2chassis15.jpg all thats left to do is the backpanel for the power supply, and to buy some shaft extenders (and pick a normal knob) (and pick which stax jack) glad i waited on the power supply board, as one of the mounting holes would have run into the front panel flange. amp boards should be here next week for those people just itching to start stuffing the boards. Angle brackets also available. Perfect for turkey day... I'm pretty much back on schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerry Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Looking absolutely awesome. I just noticed how many holes there are in them boards. That'll take more than a few nights to stuff I expect the results to be well worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin gilmore Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 shipped power supply board this morning. parts stuffing starts possibly today. No later than saturday morning. fact is i'm sure i'm missing a few parts. I can stuff parts and solder the board in 4 hours! (I'm lying my ass off. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted December 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 4 hours maybe with all parts precut and bent into the correct shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nattonrice Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 Excellent timing! I just got a quote from Richard for the iron for this and a b24. The shipping is crazy cheap for the weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nattonrice Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I was worried as the beta24 one is like the plitron that Ti used but with everything I need on it instead of a separate supplementary toroid... heavy =S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
