docdan's Phase Linear 400 White Oak Conversion

[laatsch55]

A 400 is not as critical as a 700 for a dedicated circuit just for it. It sould not be hooked through the pre. If your strips atr tated for 20 amps you're good. My rack has 2-30 amp dedicated breakers in the main breaker box and I wonder if that is enough sometimes...

Doesn't take long to strip a 400....

Im running a 30amp just for the 400 and pre and I still have meters brighten and dim a lot when I'm juicing it in the red...

Now Jazz wants cuddles, I swear she KNOWS....

Boards wired...and just found out i have to get 8 Halliburton flow meters ready for tomorrow...

 

[docdan60]

Sounds like a late night

 

[laatsch55]

Especially when they are this grungy and most have had their Amphenol connectors ripped off----your basic flowmeters....And anytime they are powered down they have to be recalibrated. And all these need battery packs and I'm a cheapass so I don't buy the packs , I buy the bare batteries and solder the harnesses on.....

 

[laatsch55]

Back at it, the RCA jacks would not hold a plug with the ground spades spread so they get swapped out. Standard ED test...thanks Ed.

 

[laatsch55]

Boards going and lots of wires everywhere....

 

[docdan60]

Watching the process I am glad I sent the amp to you. I've built Dynaco kits before and a transcendent audio phono pre but those were a walk in the park compared to what I'm seeing in the pics. Can't wait to see and hear the finished product.

 

[Skynyrd77]

I agree 100%. It's cool as hell watching.. I'm no tech so it's all new to me so these build are starting to give me tid bits to go off of.

Me too, I enjoy the build threads a lot! I am taking baby steps understanding all this also

I was just like you guys 5 years ago....was scared to even take the tops off...
