Center channel?

Get a good de-soldering tool.

I'm late to join F6.

Hi,

I'd like two PCB's and transformers please. Thanks

 

[cefp]

All parts ready, just waiting for the PCB to become available ...

I only need the transformers, can I get them now?

 

[motosapien]

Yes, a set of boards and transformers. A parts kit would be nifty too ;-)

 

[August]

Interested in boards and transformers.

 

[brian.goodman]

Put me down for a 2 boards and 2 transformers.

Thanks!

 

[vdi_nenna]

Count is:

PCBs: 126

Transformers: 159

 

[jvhb]

Better make that 130 and 163

> meaning I would like PCB and transformers for two amps.

 

[R-K Rønningstad]

I would like a set of transformers as well. If it happens this time...?

 

[vdi_nenna]

We should have crossed at least 1 discount threshold by now. What's the next move?

I think this was a feeler thread. After 211 posts and five months, maybe we have enough of an idea for the Masters to either feed us something ...

or to close this thread so as to put these pathetic pleas to rest.

 

[R-K Rønningstad]

Or we could use our time to work some more, earning some more money, and buy transformers non-discounted from Jensen.

 

[labjr]

I was interested in ordering transformers from Jensen. But not sure what the status of the boards is? I'm also pretty busy with other things.

Trust me, I'm just waiting for the site Admin to come back to reality and get some of these projects rolling.

I'm as frustrated as the rest of you. The prototype costs for the PCB are expensive enough (way more than the previous boards) that I dont want to foot the bill 100% by myself as I did with the Aleph J... And until Jason return from his humanitarian mission, we're stuck.

 

[vdi_nenna]

Kasey197, not sure what you mean, because the schematic is readily avaliable. A person could point to point the board, or have boards made, and buy their own transformers. It all depends on how long you can wait.

When it comes to the diyaudio.com store; things just take longer to materialize.

Board Source?

Reviewing the thread from beginning to end, I'm now confused about which board design we have committed to.

Permander posted his design for the F6 early in the thread, and he has a track record for the VFET board design and a successful group buy (I'm a happy customer).

Is there another board design under consideration?

If yes;

How did we choose it over the Permander board? and,

Does everyone who signed up to purchase a board understand which board they are getting? and,

Are the boards/transformers to be provided through the DIYAudio store, or is this a group buy spearheaded by one or more DIYAudio members?

Thanks,

Brian

Brian

I dont think the board design is in question.
I think there's an understanding that the boards and the transformers will be sold in the store.

The F6, for which boards will be made and sold, is the mosfet output version as opposed to the jfet version.

Board choice

Thanks for the quick reply. Two more questions:

What is the ETA for board & transformer availability?

Will board mount and "free" mount transformers be available?
