The Phase Linear 400 Guinea Pig

[laatsch55]

Thanks Joe. I guess I could have figured that out if I'd just RTFM!!

 

[laatsch55]

First things first----board out, now to strip the backwall...

 

[laatsch55]

Finally found the last meter hold down bolt...

 

[laatsch55]

Back plane stripped. Gotta fab some 10/24 to 4-40 combo standoffs so I can use those high dollar WBT connectors.....

 

[laatsch55]

Done for thye night...

For those of you that receive a PL and the meters have moved--DO NOT PLUG THEM IN--THIS IS WHY!!

Doh!!!
I heard you had a screw loose Lee but literally???? LMAO

 

[laatsch55]

Well, 4 of them to be exact..

 

[laatsch55]

I decided on drilling out the DC protect board to facilitate using these connectors. It's a 2 sided board but it'll be in contact through the speaker posts so it'll remain conductive between top and bottom. One of my concerns was a resistor lead being awfully close to the nut. Turs out there's between 1/16--1/32 inch.

I wondered about that stuff (being close). Could some components interact by proximity (the magnetic fields) with each other and cause an oscillation or unwanted feedback?

 

[laatsch55]

Not in a properly designed circuit,

 

[laatsch55]

Can't keep my threads straight... left bc board done..

 

[laatsch55]

Right board done .....

I know Im a little lost here buts what new ???? So when the pig has been out kicking ass It didnt have all this new board stuff in it ?????? The main back boards that does away with all that wire ??????????

 

[laatsch55]

The Pig was the loaner till the asskicker got back down to Phoenix, try to keep up Kev....

 

[laatsch55]

And I promised some copper fins on the lottery amp so he gave up his copper, not without a fight grant you, and not without extracting some heavy promises. Damn fool Pig...he's too much, most snickering thing I've ever been around. causes a lot of trouble with the folks in queue....jeez....

 

[laatsch55]

The Pig is getting "The Works" too, that was his price....

 

[laatsch55]

Just got back from AK, had to stir a little shit, heheheheheh....



The Pig made me do it..

What size is the stud on the jacks? Make sure to use an external tooth washer to make the connection. Is there a need for a board with larger holes?

 

[laatsch55]

On the ones I solder the output wires it would be nice to see the holes clear a 16 ga wire. Don, it seems the higher dollar connections have larger studs, these are WBT and have M5-.8 studs...

Again... I admire your tactfulness
