Well, there was no transformer sent with the amp. After talking to D2 about if he was capable of installing the transformer in the amp if I had everything else prewired he said yeah. So a couple hundred dollar savings in shipping. Plus Oz is 240 land so there we are.

I had to mount everyting BUT the transformer, so I did....but to test you see what it takes. YES I could have just mounted a transformer in the transformer bell but hey.....where's the fun in that???BUT, by mounting a transformer I would have had to desolder a lot of stuff that lokks better if you only solder it once.....AND I wanted to see how lame a 700VA transformer was in a WOPL.....pretty lame....it would take 2.....BUT I have a dozen of em....now remember these are dfifferent Xformers than the big toroids for the monster monos so I had to see what they had.........

Awesome Lee, I'm on the edge of my seat! Giving this B&O all it can put out until then (without distorting).

We can infer from Przems what your max out and Signal -to- noise ratio will be, but I will test the rest and Jani will book it up.

Waiting on the Joe modified light board and we'll be done...

Yes, but max out and SNR won't be correct....

Hey I'm happy either way. And I dont mind doing a bit of soldering and photo taking before she powers up here in Kangaroo land, make the Kangaroos bounce like fuck (and I live in a city haha).

Had to shut down my Security camera computer, as my battery backup wont handle both computers at once for more than a minute or two., Running in low power mode for this storm in case of brownout/blackouts. Need to replace batteries in my big unit as these storms are going to be more frequent as spring/summer progresses.

*CRACK BANG!* damn thunder, I don't mind a good storm, just not a destructive one.

I was going to ask if you've ever been in Blackbutt - butt I decided to word it differently. :toothy5:

It looks like you're going to get one bad ass amp D2 - Lee's done a great job and the newly designed chassis is top notch. Fun stuff.

Yes I'll have to listen to everything all over again, its going to be so much fun. Outstanding job indeed with precision soldering and wiring :happy3: also Joe has made some stellar board designs, and its going to keep getting better too for future amp builds. I'm sure this 'experiment' with the transformer will work out well, those solder joints aren't too close together so I won't have any trouble re-connecting it with the assistance of Lee.
