    Yes, I’ve PM’d Stan, but no reply so far. I’m not as familiar with his ways as some of you lot are! I did tell him that it’s my birthday next week.................!

    I think a keenly priced 5V Dorado could have done well for Stan.

    Surely it would make sense just to raise the price Stan? At least people can make a considered judgement on whether to buy or not . Plus you are missing out on new customers who would not know the old cost anyway and could also be losing sales on Caimen SEG as they are not available. I for one would buy another Dorado

    The problem I have is that when I set the price of the Dorado, which was slightly above cost, I didn't count on the £ losing so much of its value. So my manufacturing costs have gone up. But even at the low price of £60 plus postage etc I was still getting people complain that it is expensive.
    I had to chuckle about Stans Statement "People Complain Its Expensive" all I can say is your in the wrong Hobby HiFi is expensive for good quality, period

    Guys, I am busy with quite a few family and Brexit related issues right now. It's taking up valuable time. So don't expect much or any responses from me for a while.

    What I can say at the moment is that the current version of the Dorado is sold out completely. So I am working on another batch.
    I have done a slight redesign of the internals for the MKII version. This includes the inclusion of a RF filter circuit, so that the Dorado can be used with your existing 12V or 15V SMPSU, instead of you having to buy the Dorado charger.

    Hi Stan. I suspected you were busy. Good luck with all that and hope to hear some news in the near future.
    Cheers

    I finally found a source for some parts that will go in the Dorado MKII. It's to allow the Dorado to be used with a switch mode power supply, such as the existing 12V one that ships with the standard SEG. It's also required for the eventual Pi version of the Dorado, since many of them are sold with a 5V SMPS.
