    The truth about EMF and electron flow of power

    Ok I often mention inductance in supply wires and direction of signal wires in your amp. I think this would be a good place to have us contribute to the truth of how elections flows and how it affects surrounding Components and signals. Does shielding work better than proper routing? Do...

    Picked up another 700b for WOPLing

    Some JB weld is good solution to the transformer cover These heatsinks are made from zinc I believe so not to easy to reshape I did one that I use here at home with good results using the JB weld epoxy

    WOPL a Carver C-500 Amp.

    the film caps Make a difference. They are there to deal with any inductance in the rail supply wires. The closer to the collector of the outputs the better they work. Spread evenly between the four outputs is best.

    Hello interesting layout. Your Mylar .33uf cap need to go from rail to ground . In the photos it appears to me they go from rail to output, but I may not see it correctly. Also you would be happy to add a 1.5uf metal film caps along wi these .33uf caps. I use 2 1.5 on each rail along with a .33...

    Nice 400-ll to rebuild

    Was my mind in in the game today Retested with a 8 ohm load Thought distortion was way to low floor noise improved withis load attached I had to use the top AP to generate balanced output , because it’s a balanced setup machine and read the amp out put on the bottom AP

    Nice 400-ll to rebuild

    So having been up to the lake house and repairing my boiler I set down to test this new amp well had some issues with putting a ground wire on the wrong pin on the balanced to unbalanced board but that is sorted first the soft start does what I wanted only 4-5 amps to start up Wish I could...

    When we went to India at a shopping area call Chandni Chowk I was having to avoid wires. As you see my height was considerably higher than the average. The camera shots are at eye height. My wife could always find me as I was 1-2 foot taller than the rest

    Nice 400-ll to rebuild

    Don there is a .1 uf cap right after the regulator along with a 220 uf audio grade electrolytic cap. There is no oscillations of any concern.
