Sudhir,

I would be interested in a stereo pair including PSU. I will send a email to you separately.

Thanks.

Hi Suds,
Could you please list the components in the kit here?
Thanks!

Some thoughts:

It might be helpful if you can also include some links/estimated costs to the rest of the stuff. For example, if the transformers (if it is a troidal) is provided, I can email miracle and request them to consider a special quote, mentioning this forum, and try to get some benefit. Similarly if anyone has a reliable vendot for the chassis, please come forward. Making the whol;e shebang user friendly will sommthen the way. a friend(Philip from Lizzner Electronics who came to my place) can easily solder the kit for a very reasonable fee, if anyone wants it.

Any suggestions on heat sink?

Cheers

George

Hi there
Dont know much about DIY. Wanted to know if this amp can be used as a good headphone amp?
Also i would like to know which brand components are used and which ones can be used to improve the performance

 

[rallynut]

thanks soulforged.and mighty nice of u to offer,kaushik.in the excitement of seein suds' thread,i didn realise the actuals,..and that has just put my fiendish plan on hold for now.it is a very highly regarded design,and has sound quality thats supposed to be quite amazing,but i suppose with the HUGE heatsinks and everything else required,will definitely suit the purposes and budget of someone staying in a 'colder' climate .am too green in my audiophile hobby to be askin for an F5,methinks :indifferent14:.thanks suds and cheers

If it was me, I'd just take a chance and try it out in my system and see how it is and then decide if it runs too hot for my room. Even if you decide to let go, I don't think you'll have any issues selling it at cost.

 

[kaushik]

rally,

correct don't rush in.

the heat sinks , trafo ,cabbie etc will cost ample amount of money ,

guys doing audio business can give estimates.
i dont have time to roam shop to shop for these


that cold climate thing i am not sure .........

gruby,

bad idea .... 50% cost only u can recover if you are lucky!
this will go 10k+ when fully built..

 

[rallynut]

@gruby..hmm.lets see if my impulsiveness gets the better of me .thanks nd cheers
@kaushik,the 'cold climate"bit-here's an amp that could effectively double up as a room warmer??!!heh.thanx again

Hmm, I see. Well I guess then it's just me who wouldn't mind buying at cost, a completely built F5 clone, especially since the cost would not be more than 20K.

Thats a great beginning. But now the confusion started. Can someone knowledgeable list out the components? See the table.
