Spring Cleaning DIY Stuff Thread [Final Update]

[luvdunhill]

ok, I have plenty of stuff that needs to go. Perhaps you do too. I'm open to all offers and if you're patient, I'll probably just give it away. Once this stuff goes, I have another list... so.. no prices, please make an offer.

Pair of unopened, and unused ports. These are the best ports money can buy I suppose:

Measurement Mic Preamp boards and Zen Headphone amp boards:

A collection of Brown Dog adapters:

Turntable motor pulley:

Random component video cable:

Mogami headphone cable:

Onzow Zerodust, barely used:

Twisted Pear Audio Ballsie, first generation I believe:

Chinese Softstart Board, works great:

A pair of mute delay and offset protection boards (http://www.amb.org/audio/epsilon12/):

A pair of 30mH inductors:

A pair of matched 6.8uF Wima caps for a LNMP (http://tangentsoft.net/elec/lnmp/):

Serpac project case:

New, never used Box project case:

Pair of Vifa XT25TG tweeters:

Pair of 14 awg, 12mH Jantzen inductors:

Elpac 24VDC linear regulated supply:

Plitron and Avel 22VAC x 2 toroids

A couple high quality switches:

Wallin Jig v2 for speaker measurement:

Twisted Pear Audio four pole relay board

A Chinese tube heater delay board, with indicator LED:

Simple adjustable LM317 supply (http://tangentsoft.net/elec/tread/);

A Bantam USB DAC (http://www.diyforums.org/BantamDAC/):

Few random caps, including some Mundorf Silver and Oil and some nice large valued Solens:

Four diamond buffers, with "pins" to drop into a 6DIP buffer like BUFXXX (http://diamondstar.de/dDB_overview.html):

[Bidoux]

Hello,

How much would you charge for the Bantam DAC, shipped to France ? (of course if you are willing to ship outside the US)

Thank you.

[nikongod]

Someone was asking about the millet hybrid buf-634 drop in discrete buffers on head-fi the other day. Perhaps he would be interested.

[ujamerstand]

The link to the discrete diamond buffer has typos that prevented it from loading. That being said, I'd be interested in one of the epsilon12s.

[luvdunhill]

thanks guys.

ujamerstand, feel free to send an offer. Perhaps you need both? I do discounts

[luvdunhill]

I plan on removing the pics above once something is sold. So, no pic, no availability. The text will remain. Perhaps this isn't clear

Those Vifa ring radiator tweeters are badass. I have no idea what I'd do with them though.

Exactly my thoughts, there is a project I have in mind that uses them, but the other components would be $$$

buy two pairs and sell one? heh. It's one of the best performing tweeters out there. I would pair them with these:

I was hoping Naaman would snap these up, he mentioned a while back having a pair of the above. I'd be willing to work a deal, 1/2 price?

Hah! Great minds think alike! I also think that'd be a great pairing

[n_maher]

Any additional info on the soft start circuit and how it gets implemented?

[luvdunhill]

yes!

One end goes into the IEC socket the other goes to the toroid. There is a timer that switches in the large resistor in series then removes it. Also, provides filtering of minimal sort.

Similar in concept to this Soft-Start Circuit For Power Amps

I cannot find them on Ebay anymore, but that's where I got it, preassembled. Works great in fact.

[kevin gilmore]

My god what a pile of stuff. If you keep going at this rate in 20 years your house

will look like mine.

I'm interested in the brown dog adapters.

[Pars]

I wonder if those would work in my Von Schweikerts, in place of the stock Vifa D25AG35? Hmmm.

[swt61]

Almost certainly, and that would be a nice upgrade. Ask Marc to measure the outer diameter for you.

[luvdunhill]

Remaining is the pulley, component cable, headphone cable, Ballsie, soft start, matched Wima caps, Serpac case, Jantzen c-coil inductors, both 22VAC transformers, wallin jig, heater delay

more stuff

Borbely unregulated PSU boards:

Two Dynahi PSU boards (schematic):

24VAC wall wart, reterminated with nice screw on barrel connector:

( 7 ) Aavid TO-220 heat sink kits (Mouser part 532-4880 which uses Thermalflm)

( 3 ) TO-247/TO-3/etc. mica kits

( 24 ) Bergquist SP2000 pads (Digikey part number on packages, say TO-220 but will fit larger packages like TO-3P I believe)

( 3 ) aluminum oxide TO-247 insulators (I know I have more, but cannot find them anywhere...)

Titanium counter sink bit

15/16" Greenlee knock out, used just a few times. Useful for cutting Neutrik XLR holes

Fancy Power-Con power cable

Weller soldering iron descaler

Hakko Blue iron (perfect for chassis jacks and joints that sit on large ground planes)

( 5 pair ) binding posts:

PS Audio short, right angle power cords

Longish Audioquest mini to RCA cable

Soldering bench Cambridge Soundworks dipole speakers.

A nice chassis for a MC step-up transformer and a pair of Jensen step-ups. Probably about 15 minutes and you're ready to go with this. Case formally Consonnance MC step and has a foot front and nice metal domed feed:

( 1 ) not two 1.27mm Bondhaus hex wrenches that fit the tiny Rega tonearm adjustment screw

scary cables

HPS Rumble Filter board

( 2 ) unfinished ends for 1455 series Hammond case (I can track down the model upon request)

1 short JH audio IEM cable

( 3 ) Duende Criatura tube rings, large fits 6SN7 and two small fit 6DJ8:

Pair of BAT XLR to RCA adapters

Pair of calibration weights

iPod shuffle, great condition with a few marks.. first owner, bought at the start of the summer.

Pearl phono kit. I actually have all the parts to build this, so if you're interested we can talk. It will take a bit to scare up the odds and ends, but I do have them.

PSU delay board (I can get some more info on this for you if you're interested)

( 50 ) Berquist pads K10 for TO-247/TO-3P, etc.

( some ) TDA1543A DACs

( lots ) Output BJTs used in the Ayre V-5xe I believe. I have probably 50 pairs.

( 8 ) ceramic noval PCB sockets

( 4 ) CMC Bakelite UX4 sockets, includes mounting brackets

( 8 ) CMC ceramic octal sockets, includes mounting brackets

large collection of mil-spec ceramic standoffs. Probably worth a fortune, if you compare prices at Mouser for these

( 8 ) noval ceramic PCB sockets, cylinder type

( 4 ) atmel atttiny24 microcontrollers

( 1 ) CS8414-CS

lot of knobs

( 4 ) 7pin sockets, NOS

lot of jacks

lot of Neutrik powercon and speakercon connectors

lot of spade connectors

four RCA connectors, dialectric looks like Teflon, but no guarantees as I'm not positive where I picked these up to verify this

lot of switches

lot of power entry modules

two chassis mount relays

found a bunch of parts for the microphone preamp boards, also the boards are still available

( 2 ) TDA1541A matching numbers

( 1 ) SM5842APT

( 2 ) Li-ion cells

illuminated panel mount ammeter

lot of teflon tubing

Goertz Alpha-Core M1-2 10ga flat ribbon speaker cable, comprised of two 0.750" W x 0.010" thick polyester terepthlate insulated copper ribbons, 2.2mΩ, 0.95nF, 6nH per foot

Solid silver wire

Acrotec: 99.99997% (6N) purity stress free copper wire from Nippon Mining, Japan *40μ (4.2Ω/ft.) copper wire with polyester varnish insulation. Excellent wire available for rewiring tonearms or any application given a sufficient number of paralleled strands. For most tonearms parallel about 15 ccw wound strands of this 46ga wire, or use fewer for ultra delicate applications,

Recently bought a Greenlee 15/16" slugbuster punch too....drat.

[digger945]

Rooster placemats are boss.

[ujamerstand]

I hope you haven't had the chance to ship out anything yet.

The 2nd update is making it harder to resist.

[luvdunhill]

Heh, one final update maybe tonite.
