    Question for Joe or builders with appropriate test equipment.

    My WOPL 700b gets a regular work out at close to max output, yes I have fans on the back. Speakers are rated at 4 ohms, with a rather low efficiency rating of 90db. Speaker Max power, whatever you have. Neighbors? They’re cool. Ohm model I

    700B Power Switch

    I have a 700B WOPL, I use a smart outlet strip to turn my amp on, amp switch still has in rush current, but switch does not arc. I have my amp on the switched side of the strip, and the SX 950 as a preamp on the master side. To turn the system on first I switch the 700B on (nothing happens)...

    Thinking of building a tube amp

    I was looking at the ST120. I gather this is an amp based on the Dynaco amps. Tubes4hifi.com I will pair the amp with my JBL 4311 speakers. I will need a pre amp, looking at the Eico ST84, or perhaps a Dynaco PAS preamp. Does it matter? Should I just go with a modern preamp? Don’t want to...

    New build for shop system

    Thanks, always wanted to build some speakers, don’t have the need or the room. Do you design a box to match the resonant frequency of the driver? target freq, perhaps the box designed at the resonant freq will be the most efficient? Any recommended reading? I have a lovely house now, but one...

    Zero Turn Mowers

    I bought a Cub Cadet Z50, love it, need to be careful when starting off, or the back tires will spin and destroy grass. Lovely Yamaha V motor, very smooth. Also use noise canceling headphones and listen to music.

    question for those who build wopls

    My 400 has TR inputs, was that way when I bought it. I just use adapters to rca, no benefit to me to have anything but RCAs, maybe for a sound reinforcement use, but not a great use for a 40+ year old amp.

    would you buy this?

    Would need to be an 8 fin. Got to really love a 400 for a WOPL conversion anyway. Numbers $$$ do not add up. Look for a 700. In my opinion leave the 400 stock with maybe a few upgrades like DC protection, new caps, meter board, new outputs.....
