    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    I have big spring loaded clips and they are soldered to some speaker wire and 2 big resistors. Don't remember what value they are but I'll find them and report back. I got shocked.... ONCE.... I was troubleshooting a radar system and I haven't done it since then, 1983. The High Voltage Power...

    Got it, thanks Joe.

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    That's what I was thinking. I'll make a nice cable with my big clips and the 2 resistors I have been using. I never even get a spark when I bleed them so.....

    That's what I thought. I wouldn't even hit the switch until the amp is off.

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    I was just trying to cover all my bases. I wanted to use my cable and bleeder resistor and have the ability to hit the Momentary switch and bleed off the bulk caps but it aint worth all the extra work. I can still look at offset before and after testing at idle and I figured bleeding off the...

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    I looked at the PDF you posted, Not sure which one I should use so until I figure that out, I'll just use my Bleeder setup if I need to discharge the bulk caps. The document said if all else fails, use a .1uf and a 100 ohm resistor (both of sufficient size), a QC100 and put it across the...

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    Thanks for the link Don. I'll figure out the bleeder switch and resistors to keep from smoking the switch. I have a meter for monitoring the DC Offset so after the voltage drops when I turn off the amp, I can then switch the bleeder resistor on as long as the cap voltage is under 100VDC. These 2...

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    That's what I like to see, very cool............. However, just like a processor being cooled on a PC, the fins are on the outside since you need the flat to fit against the heat generator, and the excess heat can radiate OUT to the environment so you can also cool that with a fan. So, I can...

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    Yeah, we already went through the ghetto water heater elements and other cobbled stuff. When a customer comes over and you have shit cobbed all over your shop, it would embarrass the fuck out of me. Naw, not gonna rig stuff up although Since I'm wiring and experimenting with these DPDT 3...

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    After freezing my ass off this winter, I'm mounting the fan on the back of this load bank and blowing the hot air on me. I'll have to build a "bench amp" to run continuously for heat.

    All I got on the bench is Ice Tea Joe.......... Maybe I'll use the hole saw and make a drink warmer on the top.

    NAD 6300

    Not concerned about a remote. I seen some "Accidental" button whacking and caused big damage to a set of speakers. I have one for the RL-11 but I don't use it very often.

    Billion Watt Load Bank Build

    Made a bit of progress. Had to drill a shitload of holes and then tapped the holes and mounted the BAR's (Big Ass Resistors) but not before I got all that whale spooge all over. I hate that shit but I couldn't find my sheet of thermal material, so, Whale Spooge it is. I looked at my shelf from 3...

    NAD 6300

    The 7600 is the biggest @150WPC The 7400 is 100WPC I'll set my alert for a 7600 but the nice one I saw was $700 with pick up only (Cali). When they reviewed it, they said it has: "1300 preamplifier, 4300 tuner, and 2600A power amplifier built into the receiver chassis. There is one on...

    NAD 6300

    Does NAD make a receiver or amp or integrated with any kind of Power Out??

    NAD 6300

    I like the looks of the NAD gear. If I was looking to build another system, I'd try them. They look fairly easy to do maint/repair on. Any threads on how they perform? I WONT tell you you have nice looking NAD's though. HUH???

    I'll follow along. We'll see how compact the unit is going to be.
