Magura

fuck diy meets ;I'll pop on your doors , if next year PSM will not need visa for Denmark ....... and I can find some normal low cost flight to Danskeland ........

Sounds good, but really, a visa should be no problem. Such things can be arranged Magura

Any chance of some of you guys popping in next year?Magura

when you are going to add some serious spks to that

You mean boxes or drivers?Magura

I finally got around to doing the math, for a phase plug, for taming the notoriously shouty FE166e. Yes, I know, loads of different objects has been in use for this purpose, but most has been like "hey that socket/tube/broomstick looks like it fits".I decided to add a little math to the subject at hand, and used a logarithmic function to calculate a decreasing radius towards the tip. Result: Niiiiice well behaved FE166e.Magura

Ok, ok, time to calm down. When you come to visit me, I'll introduce you to one of the finest Danske inventions... LEITRA... (since we took over the production of the Avancee version)

Something tells me, that it wasn't that kind of "inventions" he was thinking of Magura

Wait and see, if you develop the right way, in a couple of years you'll reach our "standards"

I've been living at your side of the iron curtain, regarding DIY, you're better off than I am here. What you can get, is maybe not the most fancy looking stuff, but it's working, it's available, and it's affordable....that's more than what you can say about the situation here Magura

You did it again ! Whatever you need - you just machine it !The universe as it is, is not going to tolerate those escapades of yours much longer - you know the "Pinocchio" story

Hey, it's not may fault that Denmark has turned into a sub-standard country. Anywhere else, you'd have the choice to just go and buy them. .....here it's simply faster to make it yourself, compared to waiting for such to be ordered, and be in back-order, then shipped to me on a couple of weeks, if I'm lucky.These took me like an hour to make, and they're somewhat better quality Magura EDIT: Hey, didn't Pinocchio end up with a pretty girl in one of the versions?

Here you can see the layers in the graphite.Magura

This part I think is pretty nifty.A directional heat-spreader. Made of graphite. This will allow me to couple the devices pretty well, and still get rid of the heat.Magura

"some" in this case, happened to be approx. 270pcs. Guess I'll have to start selling them Magura

So, today was a step closer to flicking the switch.I for some reason couldn't find the isolation washers for TO-3 packages, so, yes you guessed it, I machined a bunch instead.Not being able to find them is maybe to stretch the truth, but the only place withing the kingdom I found them, is from Elfa, and they want 1.5eur a piece.Not happening for the pi$$ poor nylon version.So I made some out of FR4 board, they even got copper on the upper surface, and a nice press fit Magura

And I'm reeeally curious what will the end of it be...

The end is near Magura

Nice going!I look forward to hear the result over a rygeost sandwich Magura

What rectifiers do you have in mind? If I have them, I will ship them

Thanks for the offer, much appreciated, but as you see above, I'm working on the case myself Magura

Did you build and test the amp boards yet? Probably some tweaking to do on those

Build : yesTest : no As I am out of hefty rectifiers and still lack some parts for the PSU.I do plan to get this running sometime in July though, so it won't be long Magura

Damned Stein, had you only posted 10 minutes earlier, then you'd have it your way, but the goodie-bag just went in the mail. Magura

sample of on-line seminar ...... ?

Nope, of rectifier boards Magura

Magura ...... you know that Papa is plain def to my cries for adoption .......on second thought , will ya adopt me ?I'm eager to learn to make these Metaldanske thingies ........

How about an on-line seminar? You know, the Mrs. sure won't appreciate any more children, and if we will have to adopt both you and Stein, that's simply just not gonna fly I'll add a sample to your little package (which by the way is getting close to take-off, as I cut PCB for you as well when making those boards).Magura

Nice to meet people who are as coockoo as myself...

Usually the word people use when I'm around is "insane" Magura

BTW, if you are looking for proper size of caps, I have a few... 18 or so of these... Would be glad to swap them for a same make CD-960... And I could throw in two pairs of spk-conns... smaller ones... as on the image...dammit... edited the post too late...

Naah, I just sent a bunch of the Siemens equivalent of those caps to Choky.....and those binding posts Really Stein, for a guy with a very well developed size complex, that's not gonna fly Next in line is actually most likely some respectable binding posts, just ordered the material today, zirconium-chrome-copper. Real nice stuff, uhmn, and the TiN plating Magura

Ohh, and welcome to the club Stein A pic of half of the CLC of the amp in question.Magura

Just don't say these are one inch thick...I won't be able to stop thinking you have some sort of small-size complex... Regarding size of things... I know I do...

Well, it's either calculations, or just make them real big. I made my choice They're "only" 3.3mm thick, but it's 2 oz. copper and PTFE with glass. I made a quick back o' napkin calc, which exposed the spades as the weak link, the rest does more than 100A Magura

Hmm, crazy frenchy.... Thanks. Love your hat Guess it's time for making some parts for that amp......Right now, the rectifier boards are almost finished, just the solder-mask left. Magura

Am I allowed to say CRAP! ?Well, it will not make you feel better but last weekend (Saturday, to be exact) our new lathe got caught on fire.... Actually, it started from within the lathe... Guess I was right when I told them that it won't work with gasoline instead of oil in the gears department...

My condolences The bright side: You won't have to take that discussion again Magura

Somebody stop them!!!

Unfortunately, you got what you wished for....The CNC mill failed after some 50 pcs. were made Magura
