Hi Chaps, I've noticed on powering down the amp,it takes a while for the supply caps to discharge-not surprising with 100,000 uF a side!-and just as the caps are discharged,there is clicking and popping/beeping noises from each speaker.It's not the same through each channel i.e. each channel does it...

The bass from a 4-inch driver in a Saburo cabinet has to heard to be believed! I accused Dave of hiding a 12-inch woofer inside each cab.It's that good,I kid you not.

Seconded! Thanks for putting up with all of us Simon,a very enjoyable day.

Well I'm getting the MF because the KEL is getting used all day every day up here with a sky+ box feeding it,radio during the day,and tv at night.I think it's a bit of a waste of a good valve amp,so I was going to get a Jungson Chinese sand jobbie with a claimed 80w class a(loads of good things said...

I like AVO's too,though we don't get them anymore.

I'm only a Fluke man coz the company provides them for nowt!

Simon I can bring a calibrated Fluke with me..

It wasn't live,if it was it would have exploded! the arc comes from induction in the busbars that run across site next to circuits that are energised.Here's some links to give you an idea.These are a lot more impressive than we managed,though we had to do ours half a dozen times so everyone could ge...

We were opening and closing an isolator on a 275kV sub yesterday,just to get a good arc.Must've been a good 3-4 feet,and the noise was unbelievable.Good fun :shock: Just back from seeing Snow Patrol at the Glasgow SECC.We were right at front centre.What a great gig! Sore feet now.Must be getting old.

Paul Barker once asked me if I could get him a couple of pole pigs!

Welcome.Next week,the exciting world of Electricity Transmission!

Nice.I cold rehouse my A370 when I get it.

The building with the danger of death notice will probably be a little distribution sub,containing an 11kV to 415v transformer or two,and maybe a small suite of 11kV switchgear,one(or two) of which will feed the trannie(s) in the sub,the others will feed 11kV to other(possibly smaller) little dist. ...

You're a fickle man Mr I,you've dropped HHGTTG for Lost in Space!

Tsk! You've got a lot to learn Mike,that's far too neat!
