Fishoz's PL 400 Conversion

[Fishoz]

Lee, reliability standpoint? Meaning the caps could go bad if pushed? Not that this unit will be max pushed on a daily basis but I do tend to push the dial over 12:00 once in awhile (when the wife not home).

 

[laatsch55]

Yes..and If this was a less quality cap I wouldn't run them. I ran these in the Pig for years and if they were weak they would have gone....

 

[Fishoz]

That's testament enough. I know the "Pig" was driven hard and put away wet. If they took that I'm not worried.

 

[laatsch55]

Board wired in. Backplanes powered up just fine, no problems. I'll stick the first row in and power up...

 

[Fishoz]

You're really pouring it on today Lee. Thanks!

Looking really good.

 

[laatsch55]

Power up went fine!! Thanks Dave! Offset was .001 on both channels, bias steady and adjustable. Going for the 2nd row. VERY TEDIOUS getting the outputs plugged in...

 

[laatsch55]

It's on the horns right now....a little "God Particle"......

 

[Fishoz]

So.....how did it sound???

Honest opinion Lee!?

 

[laatsch55]

I wish I could keep it!! It sounds F*&^%$ wonderful. I'll put it on the AP tonight and wring it out..

 

[laatsch55]

So.....how did it sound???

Honest opinion Lee!?

That's the only kind of opinion I have....

 

[Fishoz]

That's what I like about you Lee - no bullshit!
