falkon Posted November 27, 2013 Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 (edited) Lead spacing is 10mm so it should fit. Thanks Edited November 27, 2013 by falkon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhjazz Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Anyone used modushop.biz? I had good luck with a previous build using one of the Galaxy cases, but have not found any dealers left in the States. modushop has Galaxy, so that might be the best place for me. I don't know. Crap, where do people get aluminum cases these days? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naamanf Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 Bought a few cases. Pretty sure they are the ones that make the galaxy so your just buying direct from the manufacturer and paying for shipping from Italy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cetoole Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 Not the full selection, but some available at the DIY Audio store. http://www.diyaudio.com/store/amplifier-chassis.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 90% of my cases come from modushop and they are great to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggil Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 You don't need a US dealer. Just buy directly from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwzhan Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 UPS charged me around 10% import tax one time. That's only 1 out of 3 shipments that got charged, but you might still want to keep that in mind. Other than that, the cases are great.

nikongod Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Not exactly related to headphones or electronics, but since we all seem to appreciate working with our hands & making things - Does anyone know where to buy a single piece of "shell Cordovan" leather? I want to make a wallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justin Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 got an email Parts Connexion has acquired some values of NOS Black Gate capacitors, if anyone wants to spend a lot of money on 6-7 year old electrolytics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nopants Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I thought electrolytic lifetimes were quoted at load, do they just dry up sitting around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) dont know the answer to that. i would assume so. in my beginning DIY days the old caps in my dad's parts drawers would explode when i used them..with a liquidy substance! so i guess they were still moist Edited March 5, 2014 by justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 They dry out simply sitting there. ...and on that note I'm so going to put my Black Gate stash on ebay soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is gonna be a really dumb question, but that seems like a really good deal, and I want to buy my first soldering iron. They don't have the PS-CA2 coils on the site anymore, would the PS-CA3 coil work as a replacement? and then, which tips would you recommend buying for DIY amp building? theres so many to choose from on the site.

spritzer Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Anything from the PS900 should be interchangeable as they are pretty much the same device, albeit the 900 has a much nice chassis (die cast). The chisel tips are what I use most of the time though I have pretty much every one they make. SFV-CH25AR is what I've been using for the last few months....

n3rdling Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 Is there much difference between working with one of those and the standard Hakko? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
