From my semi-secret inside information, it looks like the parts are being bagged today!
Monday-wednesday of next week seems reasonable.
Follow Ups:
The first couple kits are shipping today. We have a bunch of parts arriving on Monday, and we should have about half of the outstanding kit orders shipped by Tuesday. We have sold far past our initial order of chassis plates, and the rest of the kits will go out as soon as more chassis plates arrive, which I think PB will be working on some time next week.
Are you still planning on a CD-ROM of the manual or will the .pdf be online?
Does the manual include instructions/suggestions on a headphone matching transformer OR do we just search/ask on this forum?
Looking forward to getting a kit to play with.
We have not worked out the download system yet, so these first kits will ship with a CD ROM. The headphone mod will be posted somewhere, as soon as someone writes instructions. The instructions will be something like "Install a headphone jack. Install the transformers. Wire the 500 ohm outputs of the transformer secondaries to the headphone jack. Connect one end of the primary of the transformer to the 2.2uF output coupling capacitor and the other end to ground." It's pretty straightforward, and I'm sure PJ and PB will come up with variations on the theme like wiring the transformer in conventional single ended mode as the plate load, etc.
I am also curious to try using C4S loads on the plates and having the output transformers be used for preamp outputs and headphone outputs...
Hey, maybe somebody could start a dedicated Quickie site with upgrade paths, like VS did with the Foreplay.
This product has great bones and I think the sky will be the limit with applications and enhancements. Later on, it will get to be too much to find what you are looking for by doing searches.
Anybody up to it? Now's the time to start.
Triamp... Take a load off!
I believe a new forum is in the works to address issues like this. I suppose I will have to start documenting all the mods...
(A Quickie based crossover with 4 tubes seems like a sensible direction also)
Seem to recall somebody mentioning a possible "phono-pre-Quickie" as a possible future addition.
I do plan to build "dead stock" as line pre first----THEN the mods/variations appear tempting.
