Official Group Buy - Revised Millett-Hybrid PCB

[JWFokker]

Damn. When I placed my order it was roughly $10/board. Now that it's down around $6 it makes me wish I had ordered more. I could've made an amp or two for a friend. This is a killer deal. Thanks for all the hard work dude.

 

[rmx]

somehow I thought the boards were going to be 20 bucks a piece... so I just asked for one... shoulda got more

 

[n_maher]

:shockandawe: total order = 189 boards... aw heck, I'll round it to 200 to get the max price break and have a few extras in case anyone missed the GB

!

Order going in soon.

n-maher offically roxors the big 1.

$6 for an amp board this size is awsome.

i was thinking, if any of the aussie/nz crew were interested, we should pool our resources when ordering the tubes. my local tube supplier is trying to track some down for me. but if it's too pricey or hard for him to get them we could order a few from AES

Sounds good to me

Ok folks, we're officially cooking with gas now, the boards have been ordered

. The final raw board cost, including the $100 tooling charge is a whopping $4.96

. Folks in the US and Canada should start to expect to see Paypal invoices today/tonight and to save on fees I'll just be sending you one invoice as it is just nonesense to bill you guys twice and have you pay an extra $.30 to paypal. European and Asian/Aussie folks are stuck with two rounds of bills as I don't have hard enough numbers on shipping at this time to make it work and it'll be cheaper for you guys this way.

Please note, if there is any surplus $$$ left over after the GB Peter Millett is going to become Head-Fi's most recent contributing member. I figure better for Head-Fi to get the $ than Paypal, I hope that the group agrees.

As an aside I now have a pretty substantial credit at PCBnet which I hope to use towards either a plug-and-play adapter for Intersil buffers or a diamond buffer board for this amp. We'll see what Drew and I can cook up in the coming months

.

Back to filtering out the relevant information from the 119 pages of PM's that I have concerning this group buy

Great news. Like others, I'm kicking myself a bit for not getting more boards now that the price dropped, but I probably would never build them anyway.

I would be happy for extra to go back to head-fi for Peter or your contributing memberships.

Great idea with the extra money!

Rather than 100+ invoices, would it be easier for you to just post a thread saying how much we owe for each board and shipping costs based on where you live, then when we paid you, you could edit the post that we paid, kind of like you did with the # of boards. Of course you could invoice the people who didn't see your list? I am just trying to think of an easy system for you, since there are so many people involved.

 

[n_maher]

Meat,

I don't think the invoice process will be all that bad. At least I hope not

. I've got the payment spreadsheet up and running and I think Paypal invoices will actually help me track how everything is going. If I get overwhelmed your plan is not a bad one. Luckily a vast majority of the orders come from the US and Canada so that helps simplify things.

And there will most certainly be a new post to track payment, shipping and delivery information.

And Pete really deserves a big thanks for this amp design, so I figured the least I could do was something "in his honor" if you will. Not that contributing membership gets you anything really

but none of this wouldn't have happened with out him and Head-Fi so I thought tying the two together was a good fit.

What did you choose for the manufacturing time on these boards?

 

[n_maher]

Two weeks as it was the best balance of cost vs. man'f time. I also need the time send out all the invoices

.

Hope that's okay with everyone, I think that it's what I had told people all along.

[jerb]

thats fine

thanks again so much for devoting your time to this, i think we all Appreciate the <$5 boards!

 

[JWFokker]

Wicked. I'll be keeping my eye out for those diamond buffer down the road.
