phase linear 400

Gene. With what you got there you are probably good but for like 20 bucks that tester above is damn good. Hell it checks everything. I got one and I am glad of it. That joker even tests LCR.

i have never heard any man say, i got too mant tools . ..lol
thank you kindly

 

[gene french]

Its Great, w a transistor you can tell what it is and the C,B,E save a lot of time and its quick

i will get one....that is the one you two recommend??

Yes, it tells MOSFETs too also the ESR function are helpful to me. Resistor code that is hard to read, bingo.

thanks!!!

ok....got one...took the word of you two knuckleheads!!!!
lol

the 400 is up and running since 7am....seems to be running fine....
no kaboom yet....lol

was a nice day yesterday....light rain all day....was cool....fresh....everything smelled clean....

nice day to pour cement....there are no machines....all mixed by hand...my whole house was poured by hand....
took 10 months to build...we had a 7.6 earthquake a few years back....earthquakes are very common here as one would predict....
there are hundreds of volcanos....the ground outside was rolling like the ocean....was quite interesting....all i could do is hug the table...
and watch the tv teeter totter back and forth....got a few dishes...but zero damage to the house....

life is good....

good morning phoenix....

george....moved the meters as you did this morning...brightened the leds...has a shadow off the needle mechanism right in the center...brightening them up helped out...

 

[VSAT88]

I don't remember where the meter wires went to to start with now you cats are moving them to the DCP board!

They went directly from the amp output prior...

 

[gene french]

its raining...
check out the rate

read back a few pages...george e plained it...was easy...when i had dc on outputs...pegged out meters...connected to the dc protect board that wont happen as long as the board is workin!!!

 

[VSAT88]

I get that.

 

[gene french]

I get that.

 

[VSAT88]

You ain't supposed to have no DC on the outputs man... Lol

 

[gene french]

You ain't supposed to have no DC on the outputs man... Lol

why didnt you tell me that earlier....lol

 

[VSAT88]

Yeah but it's so sweet when the bias is all set, you have no DC on the outputs, you have it off the dummy loads and hooked up not to the sacrificial speakers any longer but to the real ones with a nice pre hooked up and playing nice. A good feeling.

YES SIR....
and better yet....knowing i refurbished it myself...(not without issues...lol)
and built the speakers myself....

the same feeling i predict i will get building the wopl....

i have learned, you dont want to run these without a dc protect board....lol

the 2 others i got from rob....were received in maimi....but, i never got put in the system....i wrote...they told me they lost them....
i said they are in miami and sent the receipts....well today they found them....miracle after miracle....
AND THEY GOT PUT IN THE SYSTEM....
lol
aint life grand!!!!

 

[VSAT88]

That's like magic man !

Looks great Gene, yup, easy and makes common sense to wire it so. Make a note not to cut those meter signal wires to the predetermined length per the Wire Cutting Guide PDF when your building your WOPL. Hopefully they'll be long enough to reach from the DCP to the meters. Cut them to the specified length and you'll be bummed. Later.

Joe's great idea, not mine.

Joe's great idea, not mine.

thanks to both of you....
was a great idea....
maybe watts should recommend this in his documentation for the dcp board....
only makes sense...
