Beautiful work!

 

[laatsch55]

Thank you Dan, we do try...

 

[laatsch55]

Backplanes going together...with the FaboNav's righteous threaded standoff holders....

 

[Northwinds]

Those standoff holders are a cool idea!!! What were they for originally or did he make them?

It's what FaboNav does Ron, solves problems...Joe, getting more consistent with the meniscus all the time, practice, practice.

Neat thing about this place everybody brings something to the table, very cool...

I bring pom poms and obnoxiousness. Life is good!

Dan, I apologize, I had forgot you were sending all the board parts and DC protect. I just now opened the box with the amp in it. Superb job of packing by the way. I will finish the Backplanes I started and of course use the board you sent from Joe...

Joe, you're not a bad solder hand, props there pops....

Yep, need those too!!!!!!!!!!

 

[laatsch55]

Left board done....

 

[laatsch55]

And after the 3rd board he rested, a driver board and 2 backplanes is enough for one day!

 

[laatsch55]

Jazz is plumb tuckered out too...

What do people do for on/off for these amps? I have power strips with on off switches. I even have remote controllable outlets but I wonder about the power draw through them. Some older preamps have switched outlets but again I wonder if that is safe when powering on.
