PL 700 Pro Build

I almost wish it was like a 400 and had no switch. Sure would simply things. Oh well, it'll be left on and switched by a power strip.

George I built a 700 once where I brought the AC in just below the terminal strip..
 
We just run the 10-2 off the circuit breaker to to the transformer. (Oxygen free cryo treated wire nuts of course)

Well, I do have about 40 feet of old arc welding cable left over from the last set of jumper cables I made! I'd have to do some major rewiring of the house, wife Would Not be happy. Think I'd better stick with the standard layout with a switch. To tell the truth, my two 400 WOPLs don't often get a workout.
I agree that bringing the supply AC in by the transformer does make better sense doesn't it? Like a 400. Well, the 700 is what it is. A lot of extra work that could have been resolved with a taller chassis.

It was completely random George, but it seems a majority of the hotties were made by Bob's stoner brother when he was the transformer winder...in the Ser I's...

Some Ser II's like Darcy's were 108...

108.7 at the old place, about 105 here as the mains voltage is lower.

Hey, I've seen you reference using batteries? Are you using some sort of solar power system?

Im using a 24 volt maximum point power tracker unit which Produces 230 volts from an array of 100ah deep cycle batteries. I charge it during the day when the sun is shining, but I manually control it and use charge power from the mains socket. The house has a 5kw solar system and separate fronius inverter. It produces up to 43kw per day in the summer.
I can hook up solar panels to the mppt if I wish, and you can tell it to prioritise charging from solar, the mains or a combination of both.
I like using battery power for listening, its the cleanest power feed. Although the voltage is lowered from 240 to 230, no big deal. I tend not to run the amp hard from the batteries anyway. Rarely do I push it, my speaks wont take that much power.
