Big enough for a chipamp module. Looking at the audiosector site, a nice block of copper may do the trick

Stumbled across this site when looking for Elna caps. Not sure if anyone has mentioned it already

Supplier for the following; 47 Labs kits/Audio Note/Elna/Future Tech/Tamura/Benelux, etc. Based in Holland. Would be worth a group order for components as postage is not cheap.

http://www.audio-cube.nl

Also, a good supplier forproject cases/boxes/knobs/panels, etc.

http://www.hifi2000.it

Italian site. Good range of kit. Also provide a cutting service for panels/boxes etc. You canalso pay by Paypal. :^

 

[jonjin]

Full range links for starters.

A good start with lots of ideas and simple plans to try.

Here's the official Fostex site for their enclosures with links to their drivers.

Common Sense Audio do Audio Nirvana drivers which many Wammers have done with good results. Not horn loaded iirc...

This link has just been posted on the Bottlehead forum and thought it may be of some interest on here - the XYZ of Oscilloscopes.

Especially for those that like looking at wiggly lines ;-)

if you want some cheap quality resistors. Mouser sell KOA resistors (spr2 or spr5 series) that are identical to kiwame. they are less than a tenth of the price of the kiwames from britain.

Also, farnell now stock holco resistors.

Really excellent mains cables for a fraction of the cost of 'brand' names. Good prices on components too.

First rate service, fast delivery, friendly and helpful.
