If something happens with a particular part (supply disappears, shipping boats sink, w/e) we'll let participants know before the drop ends so they the option to opt out of the drop if they feel strongly about it.
As a side note, even with these replacement components, we had the prototype measured by the good folks at Grace Designs, here are some of the results:
Frequency response: -0.29dB @10Hz -0.07dB @20Hz (NwAvGuy measured -0.04db @20Hz) -0.01dB @20,000Hz -0.048dB @48000Hz (NwAvGuy measured -0.01db @48,000Hz)
Noise at low gain: -112.5dBV 20-22kHz bandwidth -115.1dBV A weighting (NwAvGuy measured -114.8 dBV A weighting)
