It's all good in the hood.

All shipped!
 
I didn't have as many TPS chips as I thought - I gave you each two of them besides the other stuff.  I also included a BOM in each package.  The BOM was revised to show the OPA2835 opamp - that's the recommended one at this point.
 
Let us know that you received the package OK and good luck on the builds!

If you don't mind me asking, what is the approximate cost of the full BOM?

With the PCB, about $75.  That's not counting any casework, though.
 
That may change in production.  I don't have a good feel for the PCB price right now.  It all depends on how many we order, plus, there will be electrical testing charges.  Cobaltmute feels that the PCB is complex enough that electrical testing of the PCB's is warranted, and I agree.
 
That's a charge in PCB manufacturing that many of us never use on through-hole designs, but is probably critical for this board.

Got it, thanks!
What exactly does electrical testing entail (forgive my ignorance)?

Thanks Tom

Thats where the board house tests each board to make sure it has no shorts or opens in the traces.

Oh, gotcha.

Thanks Tom!
 
Got a few projects on the burner so I'm foaming at the mouth here I'll most likely build this along with "The Wire" amp and then decide to maybe stick the whole thing in one case or do separate casing. Let the fun begin!

That's an awesome Idea Mullet! Thanks to your tip, I was able to secure an SE/SE Wire board. It'd be awesome to build these into one case.

 

[Mullet]

I'm trying to keep the case at a minimum size. I just bought one of these... http://glass-ware.stores.yahoo.net/psbilops.html for the power supply because I couldn't get a "Wire" PS PCB. It's 4.5 x 2.2 in so that's going to force my amp to be bigger than I wanted it to be. Add in the pup1 and I'm going to need more space. I think I'd need a case at least 10" wide to make it happen, which negates the "stay small" thang. So that's why I'm on the fence about it. If I do it I'm going to figure out how to add in a switch to go between the pup1 as a source and RCA inputs and use another DAC as my source. Either way with this power supply and transformer it's going to have to be 6 to 7 inches wide to begin with vs. separating the pup1 and using the standard Hammond case. Hrrmmmm.

HEY! Im going to try and build the wire along side this as well!! small world

 

[scootsit]

Where can these wire PCBs be found?

 

[Avro_Arrow]

They are all sold out.

Yea, I was fortunate to fine someone with a spare SE/SE board they were willing to part with. It's a shame - from everything I read it's suppose to be a fantastic amp.
