Title: FM 50 ME Delivered Post by: Tonelator on February 17, 2012, 08:30:37 AM Hi folks, My fm 50 me kit 2 and D/lator kit has arrived delivery time was quick about 2 weeks, unfortunately i'm interstate so i cant check out the goodies inside the boxes [ very frustrating ] k Nick is a very helpful chap in helping me make up my mind which one to order ! his reply's were so quick i don't think i had even finished typing my question. This will be my first amp build i will be taking my time with the build, thanks to the wealth of knowledge people contribute on this forum i feel confident it will all go well.
Ordered a couple of speakers from wgs an et 65 and veteren 30 not bad prices and postage costs to Australia as speakers a quite expensive here, plan on building 212 dumble style cabinet. Cant wait to get home and start the build and asking lots of questions i hope not to many, just fair warning in advance.

I'm just about to place my order on a 50w BM. Agreed, I don't think Nik sleeps at all! Super responsive and patient he is!

Yeah, Nik is wild with his response time to emails. I remember a couple times I was up late (2:00AM) my time building and would shoot an email and sort of forget about the time difference, but still wouldn't expect to get an immediate response, but would anyway. Title: Re: FM 50 ME Delivered Post by: plasticvonaband on February 18, 2012, 01:23:12 AM Don't tell anyone, but Nik is an android, sent from the future to craft handbuilt tube amps for those of us who have the not so deep pockets ;)

Super responsive and patient he is! Another Aussie here, i've got a HRM BM 50w with C-lator and its the best amp ive owned, better than the MkIV boogie ive got! Enjoy my friend! Title: Re: FM 50 ME Delivered Post by: Tonelator on March 07, 2012, 08:31:03 AM Thanks for the encouraging words folks and good to see a couple of fellow Aussies as well , I still haven't opened Nicks box of analogue treasures that he sent me as i am stuck down south due to some major floods. Hope to start the build asap anyway i have built an African rosewood amp cabinet that will house the D/Lator and another rack unit may be a lexicon 200 for a little delay and Leslie, anyone have any thoughts on them ? they seem ok for the $'s.
Plasticvonaband i think you could well be right about Nick i think he has been transported here to save us from the cyber transistor aliens and the doof pc's. Being my first amp build i have found some great tips here eg where to start, making a template to mount the pots and solder them together before installing them in the chassis and many other great tips. Title: Re: FM 50 ME Delivered Post by: Tonelator on March 09, 2012, 06:33:20 AM Good idea no a Great idea it would save all the brain ache and decision making on choosing which model to buy next. ;D
