    Pioneer PL530 or PL570

    I have a hankering for another turntable, I like the looks of the PL530/PL570. The PL530 is selling for around $300, the PL570 for around $600. Is the PL570 that much better, should I be looking at other tables and forget the Pioneers? I would like an automatic table, I have two teenagers...

    DCP going south??

    Give it a try, you may not need the headphone amp, I did most of my testing with my iPad.

    DCP going south??

    Your computer does output voltage, it is measured in AC peak to peak, I believe you need close to 2 volts peak/peak to drive the phase linears to full boogie. The more you turn the volume up on your computer the more you drive the amp. Your computer probably does not output 2 volts pek/peak...

    DCP going south??

    Did not see an answer to this one, I will try. You can use your computer as a signal generator, when the instructions say to turn it up until you have 40 volts on the output, they want you to increase the input until the amp outputs 40 volts peak to peak (no load) on the outputs. You will need...

    Afraid of the heat..................

    The amp will run hot into a 4 ohm load, the amp also has thermal cutoff switches if things get too hot they will do their job. I would not run a Phase Linear amp into any speakers I care about unless it has one of Don's DC protection boards, I would not count on fuses. If you can run the amp...

    Handed Down PL400 II

    Welcome to Phxaudio, we love pictures. DC protection is a good idea. Scratchy adjustments should be an easy fix.

    Another WOPL 700B buld

    After a couple of weeks with the WOPL 1000 I can say it sounds as good at low volume as high volume. With the volume of my SX-950 half way up the amp seems like it has plenty more to go, still effortless. With a 4 ohm load from the Ohm model I speakers it does get warm and will shutdown after...

    135 meg Ohms, not exactly a short, I think you should be OK, but I am a newb, should let the other folks reply. Nice job and keep the photos coming.

    Also when you bring the amp up to test the power supply positive and negative voltages don't forget to discharge the man storage capacitors, they will stay charged for days without the control board installed. I used a 1000 ohm 20 watt resistor to do this, you dont need a 20 watt to do this...

    'Fear of Flying Into WOPL Territory'

    Where are you located? maybe someone on the board is near you. Someone had 2 700s with all the goodies for sale recently. I am sure they will speak up. Are all 6 400s broken?

    Think I had some junk 10 amp fuses, because on cold start-up the fuse would blow, I measured the turn-on current and it has not exceeded 6 amps peak, bought some fresh 10 amp fuses and it seems fine, I will wait for an overnight rest and verify all is well tomorrow morning. After some high...

    My Ohm Is don't know what they have coming, they have a spec of 1,000 watts max, but I have also heard they can handle more. However all of the components in them are pushing 40 years old. I did replace the woofers this year with Ohm rebuilds, very impressed that the company still supports a 40...

    In your honor AC/DC Back in Black is the first album playing, wife sleeping so the amp is just idling along, sounds good, but my stockish PL400 sounded good also. Can't wait to turn it up.
