Bless you folks here...

If Joe can get a 700 that quiet, I believe I can too. So the re-wire begins.....

These guys seem to be a bit more complicated than than the 400's so I'm real interested in the rewire.

 

[laatsch55]

With this many wires out of the way, it seemed appropriate to DEEP CLEAN where I couldn't get at before...

 

[laatsch55]

And George Bush is responsible FOR NONE of the above...

 

[laatsch55]

This is starting out very nice!! AC run almost done...

 

[laatsch55]

And kudos to fitz43, those Thomas and Betts cable ties are great, love em Doug!!

I thought you might find a good use for them.

The wiring is done. This is the most deliberate re-wire I've done, and it really did not take that long--4 hours maybe...

 

[NavLinear]

The wire routing can make a huge difference and I like the tight twist you did.

 

[laatsch55]

Time to measure some noise levels.

 

[laatsch55]

Thanks Dennis...

THD & N measurements, along with Joe's quiet like church mouse 700-B. I thought I could get close to his figures, I did not expect to surpass them...


I was also loaded into 8 ohms, I believe the test environment was as close to his as I could get....

 

[laatsch55]

THD & N at 1000hz 8 ohm loads, I think I've accomplished something now!!

 

[laatsch55]

THD & N at 100 hz, 8 ohms,

 

[laatsch55]

And on the 7th hour, he rested.........

 

[Gibsonian]

Wiring looks neat as a pin, amp seems quiet as a mouse.

 

[laatsch55]

Yep, I'm purty tickled with it Scott. When you can outquiet Joe, you've done something...
