Jer's PLWO to be... (Jer vs the 700, Round 2... it's "Personal" this time)

I DIDN"T SEND YOU SOME?? I must be slackin...

 

[jbeckva]

You might have but I didn't find 'em anywhere. Bummer... gotta wait for this "job switcheroo" to finish so I can get friggin paid, then I'll get a few on order. I did check 'em tho - looked fine, but maybe I should do it again out of circuit?

What do you think about using those 3439's I do have? They're about the same gain wise and should handle the volts. It's just a switch...

 

[laatsch55]

Are they as fast?? That's the key there.

 

[jbeckva]

Yeah enough.. but I still can't seem to make that buzz go away! Hmmm....

 

[laatsch55]

Even with the DCP out of there??

Well this time I scope'd er... Looks nasty either way.

BUT... I pulled the left channel rail fuses... and it goes away. Soo.. mayhaps appears to be something in the left channel...

 

[laatsch55]

Did you drive the right one and see??

 

[jbeckva]

Did you drive the right one and see??

No need. Those 410's on the left were oscillating. I put the MJ15024's back in and no AC component showing on either channel now.

Gotta button it up now and see here...

 

[jbeckva]

Ahh.. "By the power of Greyskull!!".. heheh We're fixed. BTW I did put in a couple of those 3439's in the DCP in the process... Figured what the hey, seeing as how they can handle a lil more current for the relays.

Guess later tonight I should go see what's up with Steven's Pioneer...

 

[laatsch55]

Did the 410's have a bad mica? That's the only time I've seen them oscillate.

I replaced the micas when I put the 410's in. Dunno.. maybe a funny seating on 'em, but I thought I was pretty careful. The MJ's aren't sounding too bad tho... remember that I replaced those wirewounds making up the Z network on the DCP after putting the 410's in.

I might try some other drivers dunno... sounds pretty good right now tho. I can definitely hear the advantage of the extra power over the Yamaha, even at relatively low levels (relatively = nothing falling off the walls).

 

[jbeckva]

I still can't get past 40 percent without my ears bleeding... I can't see how ya can do it, Lee... lol

 

[laatsch55]

Ton's of earwax, helps dampen the "return of the tympanic membrane when subjected to extreme travel".......that's how.

 

[laatsch55]

And the K's are louder than the DS-9's, had a pair.

 

[jbeckva]

You crazy mofo, that's why I like ya Lee...

Sounding good man... I'm getting a good wopl'in right now...

 

[jbeckva]

Figured I'd give a quick update on this guy. I swapped in the "D" board from one of my 400's and the RCA410's....

Damn, we be jammin'..... Listening to "Those Shoes" by the Eagles - bam.. pow... whap... (trying to describe it... man it sounds good!). Got it at a decent listening level.. about mach 1.8'ish or so... pumpin man.. pumpin'...

 

[laatsch55]

D board does sound better eh??
