phase linear 400

why wouldnt someone combine 2 momo bridged amps for a stereo system....seems like a cheap way to double power???

This done to prevent cross talk. Best way to go. Joe’s G control board is a dual Mono confirmation and I can attest that you can hear the better separation of the channels . Currently playing as we speak a Dual500 with a WhiteOak G board through a carver 4000t preamp, also recapped. Awesome sounding setup

would the acurus act 3 be a good fit for me...just to drive my 400 and a future wopl 400 or 700....i have no interest in surround sound or home theatrics....i do play our tv thru the sound system...which is fine for what little tv we watch....
just want a nice clean preamp and these used are well within what i am willing to spend on my limited system...
thanks

Depends on what you want Gene. The Act3 is a digital machine...

a nice non chinese preamp for my 200/400 and a wopl, if i can get the parts.. or for any future purchases of equipment.....i have no analog counterparts...no tapes, phonos, cds, etc....i only stream music from my collection on my computer and phone, youtube, and spotify....through chromecast....and of course bluetooth....but, i dont care too much for bluetooth....kinda noisy...
i dont detect any noise on the chromecast....or maybe you have a simpler suggestion....please....
and thanks....

No, muting control

I understand.

 

[Gepetto]

I understand.

When you power up the RL11, the LED flashes for a second or so, that is a muting period. When it stops flashing then it unmutes the signal. The RL11 has a very effective muting circuit.

 

[George S.]

Think I read somewhere that the unit is always "on" to keep the components at proper thermal level, and that muting circuit determines output. But I need to do more reading and research. So much to do and so little time. Thanks Joe. Would be very nice to have no turn on thump.

 

[George S.]

Got it, the off, on, mute switch. And there is idle current when the switch is off. More investigating will follow.

am i correct in assuming that no heat sink grease is used with these new to me sil pads???
and good morning to all...

 

[J!m]

I don’t think it is necessary…

Yep, no Grease with the SilPads, and be gentle. only about 7-10 inch pounds of torque is needed when snugging the outputs down.

 

[gene french]

thanks to both of you...
