ero3030...As far As I know...

TS has machined and sent a test pair of Colettes to Jon N. teh ball is in his court...there are some adjustments for final production but nothing that would stop testing as far as I know...Preamp Sales are brisk I guess and testing is moving slowly...until there is a approved Prototype Jon will not sell the unit....
Gefell actives are actively happening :D

We've been waiting for years, and I got tired of waiting.  I have a few PCB prototypes I am working on.

The same PCBs will work with AKG.

If someone has some AKG caps they aren't using and would like to loan, that would help move things along on that front.



^^^^^very good to hear on both ends.  deff tuff getting a new product off and running, esp when there is a few parties involved.  glad to hear peeps r still on it!!!    ed
needin some fishhead music!

Thanks for the update Brian.   :cheers:

Jon are you still working on the AKG/Gefell PCB for the actives with the machined colettes or has the TB 2.0 preamp development portion of your business taken up all of your "actives development" time?

I am still 100% committed to purchasing 2-3 sets of Gefell actives once the device has been tested and is marketed!!!!!!!! 

thanks guys for all of your hard work.  I certainly appreciate it.

And I'm still in for the gefell active setup.....we could probably pool together for good pricing with a big group buy on caps.

From the Little Box Retail Thread....

any update on the "active" setup for the gefells and / or the akg ck 60 series. I am definitely interested in this setup along with a little box when ready. Thanks, Mike



I did see the prices with the cables and materials a while ago just wondering if they are ready for sale to the public. I could definitely field test them if you need someone to run them out

If there were three or four of me perhaps the actives would be done, but . . .

Yeah, you guys are just buying too many tinyboxes... lol... As much as I want the AKG actives thing to progress, I am also very happy to see that Jon has so many orders coming in for pre-amps.  :coolguy:

Thats how I look at it. There isn't any spare cash in my hands for gefell caps or tinyboxes right now, so yeah it sort of sucks that it's not available for the rest of you, but I'm no worse for wear.

The new tinybox looks really awesome.  I had been watching the littlebox dev, and planning to get one when it matured and 60v power was available, etc.  I thought I could order one at any time...  And then, poof!  Littleboxes were history.  But now the new tinybox really has evolved to fill that void in most ways.  There is this other unsolved problem of how many preamps I can/should reasonably own...

So if Jon is working on tinyboxes, that's just fine because I am full speed ahead working on PCBs and collettes for Gefell and for AKG :)
