Cool!! The tracking says that pre is out for delivery!!! So this afternoon I'll get to give her a test run!!
*Please forgive me, guys, (Lee?), but in case I know this already, I've forgot, but is their an actual WOPL DIY Guide for converting a PL 700 II into one that you can remind me about please?
I do recall your thread Lee, but I can't remember if it was an actual 'proper' 'How to…." Guide, plus now I don't know where it is. Sorry….
I'd like to show it to my mate, Bean, and see if he's able to convert one of mine.![]()

Amos Moses... That one really gives the CV's a workout for me.
BD, I think I'm gonna be doing a 700 Ser II in a month or so if that's close enough. We haven't done a SEr II yet so there may be a snag or two be it's doable. He should be able to follow the build if he wants to...
Joe: That was a great write-up on the loaner 700B. I find it difficult to get into superlatives when describing nuances of amplifiers, but I do know there are a few basic pluses I listen for when I'm demoing an amplifier. If you select music you are really attuned to and play often enough with other amplifiers, you can pick up the differences more easily. Most of my listening time is spent in the 11 o'clock zone and less on my preamp control. The bass, and especially playing some good jazz featuring double-bass instruments, can reveal the difference between a capable amp and one that doesn't have the reserve to allow you to feel good bass. I love to play a lot of acoustical pieces featuring guitar and piano. I want the clarity a good amp brings to those instruments. And I turn down the lights during an evening session to get the full sensation. Somehow, an afternoon session in daylight doesn't do it for me. And the amplifier has got to look the part - if it doesn't look attractive as part of my stereo system, or doesn't have that testosterone-inducing aura I don't think I would buy it in the first place.
