PL400 Series 2 Build

[Gepetto]

Decisions, decisions...

Do I go Black, or stay with natural finish.

I'm leaning towards Black to match my Aragon pre, but need to find Black anodized handles. Anyone have a good source for quality Black handles?

Yup

 

[J!m]

I vote go black.

 

[Bob Boyer]

Agreed. Black.

 

[laatsch55]

Black...

I was wondering how long it would take for this to turn Green.

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

It's good for the environment.

 

[Hexis22]

All outputs installed and voltages confirmed, bias set to 350mV, output offset less than 1mV on each channel.

Plan to be making the sweet sound of music soon. Should have the meters wired up and calibrated tomorrow.

Wonderful !

Repeat performance. Beautiful work Eric...

Thank you very much, this means a lot coming from you both!

It's coming together very well and I'm happy with the results to date.

 

[Hexis22]

All wiring complete for the Cylon LED meter boards.

Added 2 X 22awg purple wires to fused B- and a Black Ground wire from the bus bar up to the meters on the left and Red/White speaker signal wires up the right side.

Lots of room in this new chassis from White Oak.

 

[Hexis22]

Calibrating meters individually.

 

[Hexis22]

My little Black Beauty is complete and she sounds fantastic!!

Tweaked final bias setting after rocken' to Bonamassa and Kenny Wayne Shepherd for an hour.

 

[George S.]

Beautiful, excellent job, you should be very proud of her.

 

[laatsch55]

On some jobs I just plain run out of skill....I dont see that happening to you....just gorgeous!

Your C-14 IEC Input Power Module installation is perfection. And they said it could not be done...

I wish I could take credit for the IEC socket installation, it's one of several benefits that came with upgrading to a new White Oak chassis.

 

[gene french]

beautiful...

 

[George S.]

Eric, you made the right choice of not wiring the attenuators.
I marvel at how much more precise the treble is in my system with them bypassed.
