I was good at playing tetris as a kid.. It was quite the challenge We use both transformers, both tubes and the choke from Sowter!! Anything can be done with patience and passion. Cute and clever too! What are you doing about heat from those tubes and transformers in such a tight packed confinement? Yeah that’s always been one of my worries about Tubes and the 500 series. Not how the tube based module will deal with it as much as how the modules next to it will deal with it.

Not how the tube based module will deal with it as much as how the modules next to it will deal with it. For something like these V72 clones where heat is a concern, you could probably just get one of those single space racks where the 500 slots are oriented horizontally and use that specifically for a pair of them.

I’m going to jump in early on this and design an adjacent blank perforated faceplate with vents and a small fan.

Yeah but then why go 500?

Yeah but then why go 500? I’m assuming so he doesn’t have to deal with working the PSU into the price point?

Yeah but then why go 500? It's a fair question and I don't disagree with you. I'd probably just rather have a stereo rack mount unit at that point.

Cute and clever too! What are you doing about heat from those tubes and transformers in such a tight packed confinement? Ditto. Even my solid state 500 racks are running SO hot I can't even touch them. I can imagine what 4+ tube units would do. Eventually electronics fail from heat.....

I’m going to jump in early on this and design an adjacent blank perforated faceplate with vents and a small fan. I've been looking for perforated blanks. I say "GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" If the fan will run off +/- 16v, and is super quiet that might be a killer solution.

I think the design corollary is, there is a reason tube gear had so much interior space ?

Back to the 670... news from Stam on the other site:
“10 tubes inside , the number on the website is per channel, audio path has been preserved”

Unfortunately, I had a gig Saturday and only got to go to NAMM on Thursday. I walked around but didn’t have any idea Stam had a booth...totally missed him.

Oh man, too bad. It would have been fun to get your impressions of the Stamchild.

Heads up, there’s an SA-47 on GS right now. I think it’s full new price but you’d get it without waiting.

Based on the most recent update, I don't think there's any way that slightly over half of all of his products are going to all start shipping in November. I'm guessing I'll get my ADG and pair of 1073eqs sometime in the spring.

Miguel corrected that typo by the way (the first 150 ADG)

Is there more than 1 FB site as I don’t see a new production list?
So, first 150 adg’s still ship in October ?

stam, Hi Josh, I sent you 3 emails (and one copied to Miguel) asking if it was realistic to get my SA3As this month when I still don't have been invoiced. As I don't really like to use public forums to ask for personnal stuff, I see you a lot here these days, so I take the opportunity for once. Hope you don't mind. While we're at it, let's make it useful for more people on this forum, and can you explain the average delay between the time we get invoiced, and the time our product is shipped ? Thanks.

Should be this week if we get the knobs PM me your email address please so I make I get back to you Thanks
