ah! you decided to go with the low-power version; by leaving the final transistors and their heatsinks out.

pretty clever.

That should work fine with my low impedance Grado's right?

I actually have 24 heat sinks in front of me but I didn't want to tap 48 holes so I ordered some pinned heatsinks instead.

Using a portable electric drill and a 4-40 tap, it takes only a few seconds to tap each one...

Hmm... ok. I was afraid of stripping them with a drill and doing it by hand was painful, literally. I already ordered the pin mount ones but I guess I'll try threading these while I'm waiting for parts to arrive anyway.

If your drill has a clutch, use it on the lowest torque setting and go at a reasonably slow speed; I had no problems drilling and tapping the heatsinks for my sigma11/22 builds that way.

Thanks, I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

All these builds make me so jealous, I get worried when I see them FS aswell. But then I realise they're DIY. Then I think 'what if the creators render the project obsolete', then I figure it won't become redundant without a succesor!

Long live (amazing) diy!!!

Wooooah! Nice Buffalo. How much was that in total? And how does it sound?

Please stop spamming this in every thread I like to read!

EDIT: Wow, the quote was deleted before I could load my post. Very nice build Majestic!

 

[M3NTAL]

Mr. Majestic - very nice buffalo you got there! Can't wait to hear impressions on it!

 

[SoapSeller]

Mr. Majestic - Amazing build, it look perfect.
I really like the encapsulated trafos, where did you got those?

 

[zkool448]

oneplustwo and mrmajestic2, nice builds!

 

[MrMajestic2]

Thank you all for your kind words

I haven't added up every little item, but I have passed €800 Euro easily.

The encapsulated trafos are made by Toroid and bought locally at ELFA -- Elektronikdistributör i norra Europa. Next time I will use Amvecos because they have dual primaries and are more standard than these.
