That's a relief. I was afraid that I might have to another run to mouser for more parts. (since I just made one yesterday.) the "O" or "Y" lettering is followed by three dots then a digit and a letter, is this correct? Any ideas on the significance of the letterings after the three dots? Batch identification?

the dots (or line in later versions) distinguishes if the devices is RoHS compliant. The letter is indeed the lot number, which is a factory, year, batch encoded value.

But, you did get either all O or all Y?

 

[ujamerstand]

Yes. All of the devices I have on my hands are O devices. I've also received most the parts for rev.A today. Just waiting for sumr to ship my transformer and I'll be ready to start building.

Boards went out today.

Boards went out today.

That's great news Alex.

Looking forward to it.

Beta builders, I have one small request of you all. jdkJake has agreed to build one beta board as quickly as possible. Although there are two working proto boards, there are enough changes to the new boards that I would like to have one verification before the rest of you build.
 
Would you all consider waiting a bit for jdk to make this build?

 

[sachu]

That sounds fine by me.

 

[ujamerstand]

That's fine. Don't forget to let us know the cost of the boards and shipping!

 

[jdkJake]

I will do my best to turn around a build quickly.
 
Just one FYI, I still have not received my transformer. I placed the order back on the 26th of August and have not received a ship date yet. I will email Richard and see where things stand. So, that might throw a wrinkle into the plan.
 
Other than that, I am good to go.

Let Richard know this is for a Cavalli Audio DIY build too.  He's been great at getting iron for me quickly for Cavalli Audio prototypes.  If you went with shielded and encapsulated, there is a 3-4 day longer lead-time while the epoxy sets. 

 

[jdkJake]

Talked with Richard yesterday. They have to finish the secondaries and perform the encapsulation. He expects to ship next week. Things will probably lne up just fine.

BTW, I went for the fully shielded, fully encapsulated version.

Gents, what are the specs on these fancy transformers that you are buying?
