Should I?

analag · Mar 16, 2008

I noticed that my Analag Optical Compressor is very well accepted, and it got me to thinking about releasing the Poor Man's 660. For those who don't know it's a design that closely follows the Fairchild660 concept, but much easier and cheaper to build. Faster than the Altec 4xxx with no thumping issues.
Should I release the PCB at some point? Let me know guys.

Hell yes!

I second that sentiment: "Hell to the Yes!!"

you better come down from Mars and release that thing!

you gotta ask yourself; do you feel lucky?

Are you cool with giving up some personal manufacturing leverage?
If so, please do.

I, as an individual, am curious about the path you chose. It is indeed silly that Mr. Narma's concept still lives mostly alone in the world, and at insanely inflated prices due to lack of similar options and rarity.

Not that your device will deflate the Fairchild market, nor the Fairman.

Release it as a kit or a PCB, but I'm leaning toward the PCB. The PSU must have it's own board which is a dual discrete regulator. Regulating to 250V then down to 125V for the CV and GR amp respectively.

Yup , two of everything and that sounds like a good one
I'm in , thanks hope you can make a couple of bux off the boards

Yes, that would be a great addition to the projects here Analag. If you get the PCBs fabbed cheaply enough you will be able to make a few bucks for your hard work.

Ptownkid · Mar 17, 2008

I think that it would be a huge hit!

Jonkan · Mar 17, 2008
