Quad SSL 9K style preamp DIY kits/prebuilt units AU$700($614 US/385 GBP) + Shipping
from gearslutz:
Quad 9k Style Preamps. Kits or built units.
9K Style 4 channel Preamp.I'm putting together a group buy for 9k style preamps (yes that 3 letter company, this is built off the same design, this is NOT an SSL, it is merely BASED off one of their designs that is readily available, just like the purple mc77 or the various neve clones). These will come in two versions. For those that know much about electronics, all caps that aren't ceramic (pf values) or electrolytic are Wima polypropolene films (i think one is polyester though)
NOTE: This is a feeler, if i don't get atleast 10 people on board for atleast the cases it will not go ahead. I have posted this elsewhere so hopefully numbers aren't a problem.
It seems like most people don't want kits so i'm offering fully built units as well. The pres will have custom designed cases and each channel has pad/phase/+48v. Along with just full kits of course.
Here is the case design, power switch comes in green or red.
I'll be putting these together in 2010 so i'm just getting numbers at the moment. I need minimum 10 people to get this going. This was originally posted in the aussie forums but so far not getting the numbers i need.
Pricing
Fully Built and Tested Kit - AU$780 + Shipping.
(WARNING: I'm going to make sure everything is working fine etc, but i can't offer a full warranty because after everything is tested and working fine, its just the very low chance that a component fails, which is completely out of my control.)Unbuilt Kit - AU$700 + Shipping
(I will document the first build for those who want to give this a try as well as point people toward more information on the building of this pre, but i simply don't have the time to help everyone individually. You may also need to obtain your own thermal compound which is optional for a few heatsinks)Prices subject to change depending on the fluctuating Aussie dollar.
All pricing includes full building and testing of the units. Pricing includes only parts and labour costs as well as shipping of the parts to me.
These preamps (the actual preamp not the original it is based off) have been described as clean preamps from multiple sources.
If you are interested, please say for which and a rough time frame on when you would be prepared to pay.
People interested
9/10 + 1 for no case and +4 on the maybe list.
