[WOPL Sniffer]

HEY!!!!! Not only is it Ron's birthday today, but it is ALSO Pat's birthday.... Happy birthday to Pat too. Here's PAT (she's almost as purdy as Ron too).

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

She is in Burn-In right now and me and her will party tomorrow like it's 1999......

Brad, did you see that insert? Only a hand full of those out in the world.

 

[Bradrock]

Yes & I appreciate it very much.

 

[Bradrock]

I think it's one of the best lookers you have turned out!!

 

[Gepetto]

Dare I say very purdy?

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Si........ Hope she sounds purdy too, just like all her previous sisters and brothers.

That is like a NASCAR stock car. Stock - except every part has been replaced by the latest and greatest technology has to offer (not including the transformer, chassis, and meters). Geez, I want one of those, maybe in Phase II format.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Here is a couple pics of some tests. These are numbers at 100WPC. Unweighted, both channels driven, 1Khz Tone

Crosstalk
THD+N

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

After letting the P1P Plus Access warm up for an hour like the book says, the numbers are even better.

.009% THD+N

 

[Bradrock]

Very nice. Let there be ROCK!

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Lee, those test cables I ordered/modified for the ATS worked excellent.

Didn't PL originally use small white zip-ties? I think the black ones were not available in the 1970's.

I want to try Sniffer's awesome wiring technique using black nylon lacing (I learned how to do that in the '80's at Naval Sea Support Center, Pacific - NAVSEACENPAC), by an old guy who told me that was the only way he learned to dress wiring because zip-ties had not yet been invented.

The benefits are that the nylon lace never breaks, the cut ends don't fly off and have to be discarded, the remaining sharp ends won't shred your fingers, and it looks cool if done right.

If I have room some of the time I will twist the tie wrap off instead of cutting it. No sharp edges. Perry that amp looks great ! Brad you are gonn be stoked !

Good deal...

Nice job, Perry! Ya think those THD numbers are a result of the rev G??

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Nice job, Perry! Ya think those THD numbers are a result of the rev G??

Thanks Jer. I'll let you know. I have Fat Girl sitting here so I'll do a WOPL baseline and then stick the G1 in there. I'll attack that next week.

I would love to see the THD+N numbers at 20kHz both channels driven (at the same time) at rated output 360 watts per channel (53.66V) into 8 ohms. BW limited to 80kHz on your analyzer.
