What do all these old amps sound like? We need demo's!!!!

Yes absolutely! I 100% need more vintage things in my life that I can't find or afford.

Yep. Assuming I get them working of course

Woohoo....just in time, since my Duo-Phase cleaned me out of 4k7 resistors....I've had really good luck with these Chanzon brand resistors from Amazon. They're a lot more expensive than Tayda of course, but placing a Tayda order invariably costs me $100......so it's safer to spend $5 on Amazon heh....

And WOOT some MMBFJ201's from the bearded Bugg man himself!



Oh and a little visit from the Jurassic.......I knew I was saving that Gold enclosure for something special!

The new simulcast revision. I can't wait to put this one together. The old layout was not fun

Edit: thanks to @Robert for A. Making the revision and B. Sending me one

@MichaelW if you're not in a rush for shipping, the chanzon aliexpress store has their stuff without the US warehouse tax. bought from them a handful of times (along with happily paying a little more to get them the next day from amazon instead)

@fig are those davies 1700 knobs with indicator dots?? didn't realize those existed

Thanks! I'll check them out. I use a lot of little bits and bobs from them because most of the time it's convenient to get from Amazon and have in a day or two. I've never tried anything like an IC or transistor from them though.

I've bought many LEDs from Chanzon* on AliEx. Good quality, no complaints from me.

*There are a couple of different "official" Chanzon stores, which I'm assuming are all run by the same people. They don't always have the same items in stock.

I believe they are, or very similar.

I'll get some closeups for you...right after my break

I've used some Chanzons, but TBH, I prefer getting a couple of these (or similar);

GP27 - (Pkg of 50) LED Mixture 1

Great assortment of various color size LEDs some may be PC lead and some will be SMD types. All 100% prime. Package of 50. CODE 4: Unmarked Parts. STOCK # GP27

Granted, I don't have shipping issues many members have to deal with.

Finally got my tayda order yesterday. Cracked it open today now that I have time.

The print quality seems a bit sub par on this one.

That magnetar enclosure is so cool!

Thanks! I worked with my friend to make it for the GCI NEW CTG I'm building for them. It's a bit hard to tell but the lines are supposed to be slightly greyer than the white, you can sort of tell on Tone B.

 

[steviejr92]

I see what you’re saying about the lines being slightly greyer tbh I think in person it would be noticeable it’s kind of hard to tell in the pic but nonetheless it looks great! Can’t wait to see the build report of it!

 

[Bricksnbeatles]

Nice! I need to do a graphic for my CTG too!

@swyse do you mind sharing your layer setup for this? if it's a quality control issue thing - as opposed to something that can be chalked up as a lesson - thing I've had Hugo replace subpar UV prints without me even asking.

Everything has a white layer, then the lines/star thing has a gray part on top of it, so the text is all just a single white layer, all just RDG_WHITE color swatch.

this is exactly what I assumed you did (and how I have printed grays from them before), I'd hit them up about it
