New ABX?
« on: 17 Feb 2026, 11:06 pm »
Any chance we might see a new ABX? Any chance of publishing the old ABX schematic and BOM? I haven't seen one for sale in three years. I know it is a niche product, but I can't be the only person who is after a good ABX.

Hi there,
Thanks for the interest, but for AVA, the ABX is a non-starter. The initial costs of producing it again would be significant and based on historical sales (there were periods where it was 300+ days between sales), it just doesn't make financial sense.


Thanks
Jim at AVA

That’s too bad but I guess the reality of the situation. I’ve been looking for one for some time as well. Any possibility maybe a set of plans or similar could be purchased? The crew over at DIY audio would probably be amenable to assist folks putting these together via a kit or from a set of plans. Certainly would be an awesome thing to offer the community, but also, easy for me to say. 🤔 😬 😇

If that is AT ALL a possibility, please feel free to let me know and I can reach out separately (I’m also just outside the metro in MN by the way). 🤞🏼👍🏼

I'm confident that there is DIY interest. While I am eating my pie in the sky, having both balanced and single-ended inputs and outputs would be a boon.

I have a mint condition ABX with original everything, have considered selling it as I very very rarely use it (maybe three times total) in the last couple years, but haven't gotten around to doing it.  Contact me if you are interested.  I will pass it on to another AC'er if they are really wanting one.
