Hurray, it's happening!!!!!!! Had to leave for a couple of days and didn't see first posts on the progress made.
Thank you Lee - wonderful beginning of the week and summer season !

By the way, will this be the first 'European' WOPL Series II conversion?

P.S.
I see no heatsinks for the driver board transistors - TBA at a later stage ?

The driver transistor heat sinks go on last. I put them on later to keep from knocking the transistors around while I do the wiring...I bet Lee does the same, but I'm sure he'll check in directly...
You're going to love this amplifier. I think mine are the best amps I've ever heard and they aren't even full comp (yet). I'm not in a big rush to do it though...I've heard Levinson monoblocks that sound flat in comparison. And those monoblocks were the big ones, set up for 240 volt operation (unusual here in the USA, we run 120 VAC house current). The WOPL 1000s sounded better in every way.
You will be a trend setter in Europe for sure!

Yep, the heat sinks go on last.

Coming right along!! Get ready Europe for a WOPL movin in...

Yes, US only on Series 2 up to this point.

Should we let em in on it or do I have to build it first???

Of course you have to build it Lee...

 

[laatsch55]

Ok, no word till the build starts....

Maybe let's tell the world it started ? And just a curiosity - who are 'them'? In Europe one could indicate two proven repair service places for Phase Linear: http://www.phase-linear.info and http://atlantic-audio-vintage.fr ....

Shit Lee - this is kinda like a massage without the proper ending or a lap dance without a lap. WTF - over.

Well, shit howdy...Thar's a NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN, err, IN EUROPE, and his name is WOPL!!!

My German isn't that good but I didn't see any reference to White Oak.


All I can say for now is Joe has a new revision of something. Give me a couple weeks to get Prezm's Done Then We'll Have A Build Featuring The new product.

That's correct Lee, this EU service is apparently not aware of WOPL: http://www.audiodoctor.eu/html/phase_linear_service.html

But they will hear from me and the recent White Oak project, and not by email, just opening a window...?
