Model ONE Build - S/N 0014

[Hexis22]

Finishing up another Model ONE build for member @Blindsite.

The more I build and listen to these new amp's, the more impressed I become with the design and audio performance.

The combination of a separate aux power supply (separate from main output transformer), much improved main power supply with 1500 VA toriod, 60,000uF bulk storage, and redesigned audio control boards with both singled ended RCA and Balanced XLR inputs significantly improves upon the audio performance of the original Phase Linear design.

A few assembly pictures to outline the build sequence.

The monster 30# 1500 VA Toroid:

 

[Hexis22]

Wiring in the amplifier and output relay boards with wire ties stuck to the side of the toroid shield.

Power supply bulk caps installed and wired.

Faceplate assembled and wiring completed.

Control board jumpers configured for RCA inputs with attenuation pots bypassed.

Playing music on the bench...

Sniff, have you tackled one of these yet?

I'm a retired kinda guy.... I can't afford one being on a fixed income.

I'd have to sell all my gear and I can't do that. Starting over like I did 10 years ago is nearly unthinkable.

Nearly…

Thank you, Eric! I'm on the edge of my seat. My balanced preamp is all checked out, and I have new XLR cables ready to go. The suspense is killing me.

It will all be worth the wait.

You will be blown away !!!
Amazing amplifier , and Eric's work is impeccable.
