DC Blocker GB closing soon

[peranders]

@peranders Hi P-A, I guess you never quite got enough interest to hit a threshold, is this group buy dead or just resting? Would appreciate an update if you are able, thanks!

I will go ahead with the group buy within a week or two.

Awesome, thanks P-A, good news! Good things come to those that wait

Yet, 50 watt and a big tip. Low temp solder, not silver and flux.

Personally I use a 135 W soldering iron turned up to 400 deg C and I have to heat up for quite some time but for those who don't own a big iron you can use two smaller ones at the same time.

Have now built mine .

Where did you get this case from, YNWOAN?

His workshop.

If it helps, I used a 'waterproof' junction box from eBay and cut/drilled the lid to take a twin 13amp socket . Nothing like as elegant, but then my diy skills are non-existent.

 

[s1h1]

Ah, OK. I'll see if the flightcase company we use at work can make something similar.

For those that signed up, P-A has sent out emails asking you to confirm the number of PCBs you want prior to sending out invoices for the group buy. If you registered but did not get or have not responded to the email, now would be a good time

Belt and braces I emailed P-A back and responded in the DIY Audio thread ... https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/gro...ter-toroidal-transformers-17.html#post5995571

A quick nudge for any not really following on diy audio @paulski here is I assume the same as paulski on diy audio, either way, kind offer to organise a group buy of components for the PCBs for those in the UK, thanks to P-A for the PCB group buy opportunity and paulski for the UK component group buy opportunity.

Yes thanks for the reminder I have also asked for 2 sets

Yes, one and the same!

Pcb's are arriving soon but it's not too late to sigh up for a couple more.

Just received mine this morning Per, https://www.pinkfishmedia.net/forum/threads/dc-blockers.235780/page-5

I can vouch for this DC Blocker. It really works, the design and board quality are first class.
With the DC removed the noise floor has dropped considerably and the transients are better etched in space.

Glad it worked for you raj, if you ever hear the smaller ones you'll be glad you went large.

 

[Chops54]

I tried to sign up for a couple of these boards last time but I couldn't register so I gave up.

 

[Cereal Killer]

You can buy them direct from his website. I did and it arrived in 5 days. Took me 60 mins to build it using 60/40 solder. It's really simple, just make sure you have +60w iron

[Chops54]

Thanks Raj, I'll try that.

 

[Mynamemynaim]
