Your words sound like a troll, with due respect.

This is insulting and should be noted as such. Please guide questions to me or any of the folks involved with this!!

I'm sorry for letting this get out of hand. I don't want my comments to reflect negatively in your regard; but what I read here ticked me off because I know you and you don't rip people off.

I got a question. if it is a SSHH then why is mini millett pasted all over the page?

 

[MisterX]

This is a DIY thread, not a bash a "Head-fi Sponsor" thread. Can we get back on track here?

 

[rds]

First of all no one's been ripped off, Pete has been consulted, and if you want to point the finger at someone for overcharging it is definitely not Craig. I don't think here is the place to go into the details...

 

[tomb]

Whoa. I agree with MisterX (edit: and rds).

It seems that Whiplash Audio is offering a good deal for those who want to enjoy the Starving Student (Mini Millett, as rds named his build style) without having to build one. Any of us who've built a DIY amp knows that 2-3 times the cost of parts goes into our time in building. No vendor can offer a fabricated product for sale and expect to make any money - without taking those costs into account.

As for permissions, one should probably give the vendor the benefit of the doubt before posting accusations on public forum.

I should leave this now, but since a comment was made about markup I will add that this amp with the power supply and set of tubes is being sold at ~x2 the cost of parts.

 

[HeadphoneAddict]

Yeah, the person building my rds kit is not doing it for profit either, but rather as a favor for my son, and at only the cost of wire and extra tubes and case and screws and such, etc. And I felt the $58 shipped for the spare left over rds kit was more than fair.

From Pete's site:

I consider all the information that I post here to be in the public domain. So, you can use it however you want, for commercial or non-commercial use.

Pete does ask that you tell him what you are doing if you are using his information commercially, but as Tomb says, some benefit of the doubt is in order.

This is a DIY thread in the DIY (Do-It-Yourself) Discussions Forum. Maybe you guys can start your own thread, about an already built product, in another thread?

Don't bother replying to my post (perpetuating the thread crap) as my next post may not be so kind.

Whoops, didn't realize me asking about that would cause such a commotion. I was just curious because the original BOM was what, $40? That one is being sold for $200.

Anyways, back on track....

If you can, get yourself a step bit. Much easier to use than a regular drill bit.
