Have your dirty underwear inspectors in Miami received the transistors yet?
no sir....has not showed up....
today, i received the resistors ... they are installed ....
i then populated the left channel a row at the time....
on of the last ones i got too tight....dbt would not dim....
retorqued them all....and all is well on the russian front....
i set the bias on both channels after a few minutes of warm up....the right channel was pretty much on the spot as i set it last time....
absolutely slick....the dc protect board is functioning and i can watch the blue led come on/off and see the relay engage/disengage
i did not hook it up to see if it will play....thats not easily done....and in a day or two...i will have to undo it again....
maybe i will hook up to my throw away test speakers thru bluetooth preamp....and see...
but, i am confident all is well in denmark and costa rica as well!!!!
