PL Power output (RMS)

[Wayne G.]

What kind of power output can be gotten with a PL400 and 700b fully rebuilt and redone with White Oak Boards etc. in
RMS watts at least factory rated distortion levels. I figure some of you guys would know and have equipment to measure
such things.

Depending on rail voltage the 400's vary from 260 to 300 into 8 ohms both loaded and driven. The 700's will vary from 470 to 525 under the same conditions.

My 700b that was just transformed into a WOPL1000(Jessica) by lee hit 511 on the left and 512 on right at 8ohm. Not to shabby if ya ask me. And if that's what a 400 can do I see why I can actually hit distortion!

Lee, I would have assumed that they would have been more uniform than that. What causes this kind of Variance, Transformer, rectifier, line voltage
or what?

Awesome, what spks are you driving with that?

Mainly rail voltage Wayne. In the early days Bob's brother wound the trannies, and depending how much he partook, well you get the picture...I actually have a 400 tranny that does 108 on the rails , and that's HOT for a 700....

Now was that 200 turns on the primary or only 197...Far out man, I lost count, (close enough).

Grooooooooooovy DUDE!!! Check the voltage on this baaaaaaas boy!!

And the original "Taco Flavor" Doritos...remember those?? And then they disappeared....probably all get cancer ....

Not long ago for a limited time they had taco flavored doritos. I was fiending on them for a couple weeks then they were gone.

how could ya forget those lmfao!!!!

They were the best and still are.....Ben I did too and they were not the same......probably due to 10% of the MSG they used to use...
