First of all, thank you Glassman (and of course ppl, Peranders, uhm, forgot anyone ?

) for the discrete buffers, they really sound good to me.

I noticed they run quite hot, so I thought of adding on the accessible side of each one of those little heatsinks for ram modules (like these , about 20x9x6 mm, alu or copper), and maybe drilling a row of holes over them in my lansing enclosure (as extreme measure only, as the holes invariably turn into dust intakes).
What do you think, could it be a sensible precaution to extend their life or it's overkill and I'm just being paranoid? Thank you

Alessandro

No need of heatsinking them, if you want this is up to you, but I had mine 24/7 since I got them, and no problems to the date

Anyword on the Complete Kits Glassman? I can't wait to get a hold of some!

 

[Kenny12]

are there any surplus stocks left =D

 

[Glassman]

actually yes, I just need to buy some legs.. so if anyone want some of the 'surplus' GPDBmk3, shoot me a PM..

the new ones won't be here that soon, still prototyping and tuning..

 

[BradJudy]

Are the 'surplus' ones available assembled?

 

[Glassman]

on request, why not..

 

[rayofsi]

Glassman and peranders are both looking into organizing a group buy.

This is great news!

I was just about to pay for $108USD for OPA633KP

Then I read Diamond Buffers are better.

Any chances of me getting a set?

I'm off, so it seems. An another time maybe. The interest is zero.

I'm going through with second generation of PPA Diamond Buffers, getting quotes from manufacturers, already have some parts ready.. hope it won't take too long..

Are you starting another thread for the new one, with a new list of buyers etc.

Also would it be advisable for the buyer to do the work himself, ie just parts unassembled to I dunno learn smt soldering? or is there a large chance of doing something wrong?

 

[Glassman]

there's not gonna be any smt soldering required for the second generation buffers, all surface mount parts will be already on the board, all you have to do is solder one polypropylene film cap, two TO126 transistors and plug in the legs.. my experience is that relatively lot of people screwed up, so I've decided to provide the boards mashine populated..

there probably won't be any group buy, ordering through email or PM this time.. I'll place a Mall-Fi ad..
