[timmydawg]

Coming down the home stretch, On step # 45
I have a Rev A light board, is the ground for the light board attached to BP2 on the DCP?
Thanks!

All grounds should terminate at the bulk capacitor bus bar (star ground).

I buttoned up the amp and the 400 sounds great ! Originally to me the 400 had a nicer sound than the 700B . I am really, really impressed with the WOPL kit . Now I cant wait to get started on a 700B and see how the two WOPL amps compare.
Thanks again for the inspiration and assistance...

Logging???

Out here in the Pacific Northwest we have a number of slang terms not often heard elsewhere..
"Now we're loggin" - To make progress as planned
"Pretty Scokum" - Just right, or a good solution
"Middle of Humptulips" - middle of nowhere eg bumfuck idaho
"I seen a horse" - I saw a horse. Considered under educated bad english around here, but often used.
"Orange" - Orange you glad I didn't say potato?

Like down south..."Jeetyet?" - Did you eat yet?
Yanna? - Do you want to?

George & Sniff,
Thank you,
I did catch your suggestion on running a tap through the Pem nuts as I was finishing up on the boards,
and was quite surprised at the amount of metal shavings that it produced. I totally forgot to lube the threads, definitely my bad on that.
And drawing them down evenly just like torqueing down a head is an important part of the process as well.
I guess I was so concerned about the bring up procedure not having much electronics background that I whiffed on the mechanical aspect which should be one of my strengths.
Since I used a Dim bulb should the outputs still be good? I checked them on my meter with the diode function & hopefully that's how to test them they seemed to have comparable values .

I would be concerned to see material actually removed

"was quite surprised at the amount of metal shavings that it produced"

Are you sure you used the correct size tap ?
