Beautiful amp Tony...why no more plates??

They take an awful lot of my time, along with quite a bit of money that you have to put upfront to get them going. The families is keeping me very busy so just don't have as much time. Love the hobby but time to just sit back and enjoy. And thanks so much for the compliment :)
 
Understand that Tony, damn life getting in the way...same here....work is going to be taking up most of my time till the price of oil starts coming up..

I have to say though phase linear I just started getting into and they do have one heck of a look and sound compared to some of the other stuff I have listen to. And you just got a love those big meters..!
 
And you haven't heard them at their best until you've heard a White Oaked PL.../

And you are so right but I have saved one of the smaller ones for that treatment down the road. If I get a little bit more time on my hands this winter I'll be sending it out for the full works.
 
From looking at youe E-Bay pic, it appears one of the Zoebel networks is not all there, nor is the one end hooked up. That would have caused some high frequency oscillations and probably an output short...did just one rail fuse blow?

No I have talked to a couple different tech and they told me quite a bit of difference kind of like night and day. I have the 400 and 200 pre-that will get the treatment one day hopefully soon.

Not a technician at all Lol but yes one of the fuses did blow.

Negative or positive fuse?

That I don't know now. What I did was remove all five fuses and noticed one of the smaller ones I think it's a three amp fuse was blown. Put back in just the main fuse to see if the unit would light back up which it did and then just left it alone.
 
Sounds like you've shorted an output in one channel.....

The more I look at this 700 I keep thinking I should just keep this one and sell the 400 and have the 700 completely gone through. Oh and is that something major ?
 
It wouldn't matter if you White Oak it...cause anything that causes fuses to blow will be replaced anyway. AND, if I were to keep just one amp it would be the 700, absolutely no sustitute for massive amounts of headroom....

As that amp stands right now, maybe an output or two with possibly a diode or pre-driver gone on the board is all...

Shit I should of probably asked a few things here first. Errrr
 
You should read a few WOPL build threads, magnificent amps when Joe's goodies are put in....

Do you think I could edit the post and swap out the 700 with the 400 and know one would no :wink: now you have me thinking way to much... I really should of did some QA here first.
