7. How many BHSEs have been completed to date? I am aware of five individuals who have received one, but I believe seven have been shipped. Is this correct?

 

8 have shipped

 

Wow, I thought more than 8 were out there. I really feel special now.

Thanks Justin. I appreciate the detailed response.

Hi,
 
Just to inform everybody that Justin refunded my original deposit in a few days. There is no problem with this man for this.

i'm no stats guy, but that casework really is teh sex! I might just have to kill the wallet afterall to scoop up that spare T2 DIY chassis. those sinks are to die for

It's the start of a new week...I wonder if Justin has any WIP pictures of the BHSEs that are building...it'll be cool to see a picture like the one he posted of the GS-1s the other time.
 
Meanwhile, just waiting for my turn...

1 day of assembly (today), 1 day of testing, 1 day of screw tightening/packing is left

Superb!i'll be sure to drop you an email to settle my full payment for mine when you ship those out so I can finally await my unit to be started on...i suppose the end of this week will be alright for me to do so?







Please be sure to take a quick snap of those units already done up if you can! Will really be drool worthy to see so many bhses in one place!

 

[super_fied]

Wow,i'm surprised no one is anxious to see those completed bhses....






So are they all packed and ready to ship (or have shipped?)-Anyone got them already?





And justin,could you please respond to my emails on payment?I'm trying to fufill my duty as a responsible buyer.Thanks a lot!=)

Sure, It is good to hear that there has been some progress in producing these units.  However, these kinds of "sightings" have been reported before so it is hard to become overly excited.  It is sort of like hearing about the Ivory-Billed Woodpecker being being spotted and then expecting to see it offered in a pet store.

the ones i was working on have been finished and are currently making my apartment very hot.  i try to go through about 50 warm up / cool down cycles as part of testing.  for your amp, this brings you to #4 on the list

 

[Larry I]

Good to hear.  Anytime you are nearing completion, drop me an email detailing how much I owe you for completion.  I know that, after making the initial payment,  I requested the RK 50 potentiometer upgrade for my unit.
 
Wow, I did not expect that testing involved 50 power up and down cycles per unit; that is a lot of time/labor. 
 
I suppose I could wait and see, but, perhaps you can provide a quick answer to my question.  The Stax tube interface/amp for my Omega II seem to be quite insensitive and require a lot of drive from the linestage to reach respectable volume.  Is the BHSE more sensitive than the Stax unit?  I ask because I am using a quite low output moving coil cartridge that is somewhat marginal with my phonostage and linestage driving the Stax (but not my speaker setup).

the gain is not any higher than the Stax amp.  it could be.

here is a picture of silver, as no one has seen that yet and it's also the first silver one to be completed
