I reckon if you were churning them out you could save on parts and time by quite a lot.

Having four stereo sets for the compression driver parts of the horns would be nice!

Two 8-hour days and you’re on roughly the minimum wage. Of course if you kick off at 09:30, quit at 16:30 and take a couple of hours out each day for breaks then the rate’s a good deal better. But still not remotely
near what your local garage will charge for a mechanic. The silver lining is you might actually enjoy it :grin:.

Well, I never measured the amount of time to do it, it isn’t 16 hours.

And no, I don’t/wouldn’t charge true rates as it’s a hobby, I provide no warranty, and it isn’t CE marked.

Producing someone else’s design in a commercial way has no interest to me at all.

14.9W wasted though…

Just what you are looking for, double the budget, no pre but shiny.

So the actual budget. No one would be mad enough to state the real budget in the first post surely?

Hang on… what replaced it? :grin:

My office system has the Stereo Box S Phono (previous model) which is great and only £200 if you can find a dealer with some left.

Perfect, it’s got the DAC that you don’t want.

I know where there is a nice Hegel H160, for £1500, or an H190 for £2000ish, on eBay.

Thanks all.

I was mostly looking to see if anyone on here had anything they wanted to move on, but all the “here’s a thing at 4 x your budget” / “buy a howler monkey” suggestions are helpful(ish) :slightly_smiling_face:

27

See above. I have the H160, and will sell it for £1500.

Thanks very much Gregg, but I think I’m sorted now :+1:
