Upgrade tip

Unread post by Latteman »

Whilst rearranging I shortened the mains cable on my A20- then used the extra to power the p20- intrigued by the dramatic changes to the p20 I shortened all A20 cables and added an extra mains feed to the P20 to power each channel.
Give it go- just keep your kids & animals away from the finished unit

My tip for today is cleaning all connector plugs with sulphuric acid - stinks a bit, works a treat.

Thats got to be a tweak that only works for you.

In the past 18 months I've built numerous amps and used any mains cable I could find. Various cable and lengths , never noticed any difference.
