[bill7621]

Good stuff there.

I guess the 'bouncy' meter setting is for daytime background music? I was just getting warmed up last night and the needles were bouncing off the pins & I quick flipped the switch. I don't want to hurt anything ......yet.

 

[laatsch55]

The meter range switch?

 

[Bradrock]

yes

 

[laatsch55]

Done that myself and still don't know why the pointer didnt twist off

Did you score one of those cool fans yet???

 

[bill7621]

Fans? What fans?

That will have to wait two more weeks. For some reason I find myself tapped out right now.
I have an interim plan. We'll be chillin soon.

 

[laatsch55]

Your basic 20" room fan works too...

I have been using these fans for a while now. When somebody has me do a build, I either include one or direct them to the site to buy one. They are programmable so you set it up, adjust the temp for when you want it to come one, and they are so quiet that you don't even hear it. And, at $49, it's cheap insurance. As we all know, the cooler we keep our amps, the longer they last.

That's pretty nice. I'm going to get me one of them things!
I rarely get my amp hot enough to need extra cooling, but when I do that would be nice to have. And as you say, cheap insurance. A lot cheaper than even the postage to send it back for a repair.

 

[laatsch55]

Yeah , amp postage can get pricey...

My amp lives a pretty easy life but I run one of these always. It turns on when it needs too.

I have bought them there too (AC Infinity has their own Ebay store as you have found).

If I have room some of the time I will twist the tie wrap off instead of cutting it. No sharp edges.

That's what they make flush cutters for.

Here is my fan for the 500

 

[ksrigg]

In looking at the AC Infinity systems, it appears that they are designed to pull the hot air from the receiver or amp and exhaust it through the top, back or front. I thought BLOWING air onto the heat sinks and that amp itself would be more beneficial than simply sucking the hot air and exhausting it. Am I wrong? All the homemade fans I have BLOW the air toward the fins... Also given the uneven top on the 400 and the 700, which one of these models would do the best job?

I am interested in everyones opinions..

 

[stetter]

I was wondering the same things about sucking or blowing on the amps and I am wondering about if it fits for a PL400.
