I'm sure he'll be able to cover the $250 from the freebie's he will be able to negotiate after showing off his design skills in this thread

Beefy, since you never have anything nice to say, why do you even bother posting? Get over yourself. Many of us are sick of it.

And FYI, I spoke to Ti before you posted.

It amuses me, plain and simple.

Hmmmm, seems to me you don't trust your builder very much.

Wow expect for maybe his last statement that was probably said in jest he has been helpful in this thread. Even recommended another supplier of tranfos that might be less expensive for you.

Of course it isn't my fault, but he is already going above and beyond for me with this build so I wouldn't ask him to pay for it. I just want to make sure that everything ordered is up to spec and exactly as AMB calls for, and when you guys started talking about it I thought it would be best to ask Ti. Since I had told him about the parts pages on the AMB site I thought that is where he got the info from. When I asked him earlier about it and he mentioned the amp will be able to put out 25 watts (presumably at the typical speaker rating of 8 ohms) and that I'm not going to be using this to drive speakers anyway, I questioned it remembering that I've read the amp can put out 50 watts at 8 ohms.

Meh, either way

So which was it? Did we (and by that, I mean me) start talking about it first, or did you contact AMB first?

Nothing was going to be changed.

indeed it is, I have spent a good deal of time selecting the font i'm using, DAX, because it comes in many different weights and variations, si accent can be created while still maintaining the same look throughout. not that there are many words. I may still use one of my own creation, used to be a specialty of mine, a skill I havent found an excuse to use for a while now. cheers fellow word nerd.

wow this thread took an interesting turn in the last day, very interesting indeed. thanks for the traffo link Beefy want to get some potted traffos for my buff at some point

Indeed, how about we steer this back on topic a bit?

The SumR potted trafos are quite nice.

Just be 'warned' that the smaller units require a relatively large case. The two 30VA units I have for my DAC project are 94mm wide, 110mm long (plus wire exits) and 50mm high; MUCH larger than the ~60-70mm diameter for a 'standard' 30VA unit.

And for future custom orders, consider Richard Sumner (SumR). He is extremely flexible and reasonably priced for custom orders.
According to Steve and to Plitron, it's "electrostatic" shielding. Perhaps it has a different purpose.

nice!! they should do nicely, my case is >70mm tall and 2U thinking that the placids would like some nice traffos. do they have a large minimum order as well?? or would an order for 3 suffice? tell me to get stuffed if you like, i'll google them.

I ordered three with no problems, and I know of people ordering just one. Richard is very accommodating and a great bloke to deal with.
