Oh ok ....I think I know who he is now. :wink: Heheh...sorry I was in a weird mood a bit ago...I'll let 1moreamp fill in who he is if need be...otherwise I suggest you ask him personally! :) Very nice guy! :lol: :lol: :lol: Steve do I know you ??? :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol: .. I am the masked avenger...
Shoot, I was gonna post my resume :lol: :lol: :lol: for those of you that know me well I hope this gave you a good chuckle.. :lol: :lol: :lol: :wink: It'd still be interesting to see your resume C for those who don't know who you are .... who are you BTW :lol: :o :D The Masked Avenger dut dah dahhh...
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: sorry I forget I have this shit memorized :lol: :lol: :lol: OK The diodes are located on the front power supply card in the middle of the amp. LOOK at the lower left hand corner for two little itty bitty diodes side by side. These get lift on one end or are just chopped out b...
In V2 amps they did away with the switch , in your case the prior owner back one or two steps had decided to jumper the switch in the ground position, which is what PG did when they dropped the switch in V2... so except for coyote ugly its a workable solution.. I heard the switch caused issues with ...
I got test gear out the ass, and I know how to use it to get the job done. And I know ZED has pro test gear at there disposal. If ZED is not using there gear, then I pity even there name sake amps product QC .. Sad ,, very Sad... I also posted earlier in another thread that people don't talk about t...
WoW ! I have been out of the loop, Vin you never mailed me any of this :?: I seriously doubt that Mantz is running all of his show in a one man band scenario. He has a amp business to run, and support. The repairs were just to keep his shop people working I was lead to believe... Maybe his business ...
Yeah well you are correct about transducer induced distortion. You will be hell bent to get less then 2.5% distortion at reasonable listening levels out of any driver ever made by human's... but we are always on the grail quest of sonic godlyness now aren't we ??? :wink: :) As far as challenges, wel...
thanks again. i am planning to run 2 12'' kicker L7 solobarics with it, would you recommend i get the dual 4ohm coil version then? I recommend running it at 4 ohms ...depending on how you slam the drivers the lower power should be barely noticeable. I.E. it will be loud enough to drive you crazy ev...
thanks mate. the birth certificate says 1532@4ohm was just wondering if the power was greater running into 2ohms. Nope that should be the MAX you will see at 2 ohms. These amps live longer at 4 ohms, although at a lower output. They will see less high current draw which can tend to fail the outputs...
Mantz did not do that, one of his tech's did, and Mantz is apparently not QC'ing his tech's workmanship. And he does not do tech work, he has a crew doing that for him.. < I am not defending him, but I will try to explain that he runs a large company and people do the work for him.... The tech that ...
greetings people, i have a t1200.1 which i am yet to install and was wondering if anyone can tell me what power it makes @2ohm thanks. The factory has a adjustment they set on this amp that limits it max power to about 1400 watts I was told by Roland I think. Just look at the bottom of the amp ther...
On a somewhat related side note, Nelson Pass is my hero, my home amps are one of his designs, but as for Steve Mantz I have no respect for him or his work. Some of his amps are the most unreliable in history (we had countless problems with them back when I worked at Sound Buggy), and his latest com...
justonemoreamp and Eric D How do you feel about the RCA's being on the same side as the power and speaker connections ? I personally think it was a mistake to do....all the high end amps that I have seen....they go way out of their way to avoid the RCA's ever coming near the power and speaker conne...
The obvious answer is to just buy amplifiers without op-amps. Discreet components for the win! :twisted: This is why PG made the ZPA series I believe I still have two left that I begrudgingly refuse to sell at any cost. And I know where 6 new ones are, but alas my funding will not allow such exuber...
Thanks guys for all your input! I took it to my local dealer who says he can't get it repaired by Trends anymore and he has had it for quite some time. I just want to get it fixed. I posted enough info that even a junior tech could debug your issues. I hope and wish for your great success on its re...
I hope i am not the only one :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: :scratch: no your not the only one I just kept digging and asking until I was taught and figured out what I was seeing was correct and not some illusion :wink: :D
About 20 volts of rail voltage on each rail and a different bias circuitry mod to accommodate a improved bias temp control, and of course more wire on the toroid core for the 2125, and rail caps are larger value on the 2500 then the 2125. and few resistors in each channel that setup proper operatio...
Somebody "Bitch-slapped you" well it didn't work :lol: :lol: :lol: Eric all differences aside, There is a huge upgrade urge out there in the real world. I was hesitant myself in the long ago past But I have seen ton's of rework done in 100's of different forums and the demand is there from...
