Oh found it. I've only got one up and running and the sound with the Pentas is STUNNING. I mean _STUNNING_ :) :) :)

Do you have the pin diagram again? Specifically I need the 8 pin socket. I've no idea where I got it from before - it's not in the dev manual I sent you. Hmmm. Also, had my RL140's apart today (well one of the two) and both speakers have a little form rot :(. Who did you use to get them done? My dad has repaired them in the past so I'm

The seller got in contact just yesterday - two left - and now bought by me. :) There is another seller on ebay but he's shifting the old ones. He does have a pair of the new model 200ASC but he doesn't want to sell them unless you pay a lot more. He also wants more than the seller we used for just the old ones. There is also a guy on diyaudio

Do we have an update for the 140's? I've just bought two in really nice condition and so will be doing the conversion as well. My only issue is the original supplier of the IcePower's hasn't returned my emails for another two boards so I'm out of suppliers. Andrew

I had a party at the weekend and the pentas were on full for 8 hours . Towards the end the amps started overheating and I lost the left one for a bit. The icepower has a 12v out, I might run a very quiet PC fan over the board next time.

The Penta transformers are underrated for the amp capacity and are known to "expand" over time. There was a thread on here showing the state of the box inside and the hum seems to be a tell tail sign. Search the forum for "Penta bookmark this" thread and read. Good luck.

Any update on the sound quality using the redline's? I may order another two 250ASC's for when I find some 140/7000's. Cheers, A.

The board looks for an AC signal (signal sense) so the signal on/off from powerlink wont work (I'm presuming it's DC). Fair enough on the 47v being ground I wasn't aware of it. Pg6 is about reducing EMI to pass EU restrictions, I would follow one of their other examples (none twisted) if it were me, but the difference isn't going to

Interesting, I'm still trying to pick a set up. You forgot to ground the IcePower board (centre hole on the board). You'll have an earth loop without it. You shouldn't twist audio leads as it makes them into a transducer. What's with the wire running from the 47v point used to power second boards? A.

1. Only if close to the transformer, but even then the splash out will be minimal and make no difference. You'd be extremely unlucky if it did, and worst case it would shut down the board and go into protection mode. I've got mine pretty close to those big transformers used in the Pentas crossover and it's fine. 2. I'm using unbalanced
