New LED segments. I'm sure with a little digging they could be found. Hell maybe they even went with new LED driver IC's and the whole 9 yards...

Hey Przem,

Here is the Wikipedia encyclopedia definition:

The whole nine yards or full nine yards is a colloquial American phrase meaning "everything, the whole lot" or, when used as an adjective, "all the way," as in, "The Army came out and gave us the whole nine yards on how they use space systems." Its origin is unknown.

The phrase was introduced to a national audience by Elaine Shepard in the Vietnam War novel The Doom Pussy (1967). Use of the phrase became widespread in the 1980s and 1990s. Much of the interest in the phrase's etymology can be attributed to New York Times language columnist William Safire, who wrote extensively on this question.

I like the novel title "The Doom Pussy". The title reminds me of the photo below.

Hope this helps - Nav

I'm glad you liked the photo or did you lick the photo? :love10:

It was a very good read regarding your experience with the upgraded PL - now a WOPL 700 Series II. I guess you can crank it up to something approaching concert levels - too cool. Do you have to wait for the family to leave before going past 12 o'clock?

... Had a 'louder' session today, the power of sound becomes scary after 12... I bet a candle could be blown out within say 1m distance... It could be done namely with Metallica and they 'The day that never comes' drums intro.... Addicting feelings while going hard with WOPL1000.....

Then I changed to Marillion 'Script for a jester's tear' and 'Misplaced childhood' staying at 10 o'clock. Again - definition, speed, low end richness and so much effordless dynamics were immediate words to come up with..... !!!

Joe, Lee, if you reached already that level of driving emotions with the WO upgraded PL700 amps, what's next then ??? ;-) Thanks God Nav's avatars and his from time to time some more scientific pictures (I mean Mother Nature creativity 'deep analysis') will keep this forum members' constant attention... :toothy5::toothy5::toothy5:

I can blow Bic lighters out from 6ft away from the back dual ports of the E-712's. In fact, I actually blew one of the port sleeves out once
