i have a power strip on top of the amp???

I hope you aren't killing the heat flow out of the top of the amp. That is one of my number one No-No's, stacking shit on top of the amp.

Except for the fan system

moving power strip did not help....
and if meters are wired to dcp...then speakers are technically disconnected????
will keep eleminating stuff...

the vents were open....i did not block them...
no matter..with power strip moved...it still hummed...when the switches arrive...i will also change the input jacks...i got two with my last dcp order....for the wopl and loose 8 fin...will probably get another set for the 4 din

 

[gene french]

all will be redone....and i will construct a nice cabinet when my experiments and adventures with phase linears is over....i will incorporate cooling in the cabinet...another set of speakers will get rid of ab switch...and better cabling...i have some on the way ...

What is "Joe's Meter Switching"???

 

[J!m]

I think it's a range switch for the meters...

 

[gene french]

What is "Joe's Meter Switching"???

on joes led board for the meters...he has 2 jumpers with 3 pins each one....to select the meter selectivity....
a 10 watt position....a 50 watt position (default of phase linear) and a 100 watt position....
joe includes the wiring if one decides to ditch the jumpers for the pins and install a dpdt switch ....
i did that on the 4 fin....i want to do it on the 8 fin and wopl also...but, i am waiting on switches ... i am out...
really a neat little feature....as well as a brightness control on the leds!!!!

The meters are hooked to the speakers. That might be were your Hum is coming from?
Or you wrapped the AC cord around your Speaker Cable Lol

The speakers are shorted to ground until the DCP engages
