24V Aikido Tube Line Stage and Headphone Amplifier

Recommended Posts

Anyone want to chip in on this 24V Aikido headphone amp PCB board?

It is currently of stock but I was thinking of doing a MO for this forum.

It will saves on shipping cost since it is flat rate US$20, regardless of no. of PCB ordered.

 

PLease refer to 24V Aikido Line Stage and Headphone Amplifier for more info.

 

The PCB board can be found here:

1) Complete Stepped Attenuator Kit Including the resistors, switches, PCB, and instructions

2) 24V Aikido Tube Line Stage and Headphone Amplifier

 

It looks much easier to build than a Millet MAX, much less parts and stuffs, and cheaper too.

Hi variablefeedback

I'm interested in getting only the aikido pcb.

The step attenuator is a bit expensive to me.

 

Is it okay to buy only the aikido pcb?

The step attenuator is a bit expensive to me.

 

It was US$35 (I think)a few weeks ago with cheaper switches ...

 

:cry:

 

Anyway, I had emailed Glassware regarding their stock of 24V Aikido PCB.

really? wow $35 to $160 that's a huge jump

 

but i think a good switch makes all the difference

with good switch the tactile feedback feels really smooth

but it's still too expensive for me

probably it's time to try potentiometer ic with rotary encoder combo

plus a little microcontroller and a nice lcd/oled display

that'll be cool

Oh my!!! I was eyeing the stepped attenuator when it was $35. He had no stock then (about December).

 

Wonder if can get the board from him and just source our own switches.

 

VT4c has 23 way switches too

I have my3c 10k ladder resistor unused sets if you do want.

 

 

When are you ordering the 24V aikido boards? I want to get also. The tubes where are you going to source them?

 

Regards

I will be ordering the 24V aikido PCB.

 

Anyone wants to join in the order and perhaps save on shipping?
