DIY SONY VFETS pt 3 - Got VFETs?

[thompsontechs]

About the only way to get some now is to buy something with original VFETs in them. I got lucky and found a few boxes that people thought were toast, because the techs didn't know how to properly test.

Is this the best thread to watch for the big reveal? Anxious people want to know 😂🤪

Here are my NOS vfet, still in the package. They were backups for a Sony at-4650 that Were bought by the original owner. I sold the ta.4650 and kept the backups which will be for papa”s vefetless kit. Already have the front end (scourge ). The vfet are in little individual sealed bag in the larger bag. All same ranking.

I’m already watching out for this and the SissySIT R.3 (!), now I have to watch for Whales too? Where’s my beer?! 🍻

 

[Zen Mod]

Whales are what's important

everything else will arrive, consequently

Big reveal is that everything has happened except official announcement from store management.

I will post that as soon as I get the ok.

 

[Nelson Pass]

Yes, the whales are cruising by currently.

Avast there, Mates!

Clutching my VFETs, while I work on SissySIT R3.

Hard to lose eh?

Soon as I I figure out N vs P, and keep spare of VFET and SIT, I’ll be offering my extras.

Cant thank NP, and ZM, enough for all the effort for so many years…

Any ideas N vs P for VFET amp?

Rahul my friend, how could you fail to ask me first?

 

[ra7]

You have already given so much without asking!!! Okay, writing to you now.

Total luck, looked in before bedtime tonight, and snagged a P channel set!

Thanks NP, Jason, and all other involved.

 

[ra7]

Same here! Thanks everyone!

Stupid question to Jason, but is a kit a stereo kit with two output cards? So two channels in the box?
[In the previous marvelous build, the left and right, if I remember correctly, were both upward facing with back-side power inlet connections mirrored in the same place, referenced to the back. >>Ben]

 

[Ben Mah]

In Pt 1 and Pt 2, the left and right channel boards were not mirrored. There was one board and that was used for both channels.

And another question to Jason: the store stacks the Mark Johnson cards; but how about the " Input stage “Nelson P” boards? ". I had hoped for those too including the Edcors. At least the PCB.
