    george wright sound 3.5 mono blocks

    Jeffrey, Thanks for your comments.  I purchased solid core hookup wire.  I also like the information on testing the monoblocks.

    Also, like to thank everyone who commented, it is very useful information I will use as I upgrade the monoblocks.

     

    One other question, I received the capacitors and noticed a plastic wrap around them.  Does it matter if I leave the plastic wrap on?

     

    Again thanks for all the comments and links.

    Thanks for the reply,  I'm using exact cart 6.8-7.2 mv.  I set the gain 10 oclock to 11 oclock  and volume around 9 oclock, hope that makes sense.  

    I messed with it for awhile yesterday, with different lp's and this seems to be a good setting.

    I get a vey low hum (ear at speaker) fixing caps corrected hum.

    The wpl-20 is 18 years old and the 3.5 mono blocks 18 years old,  should I consider updating caps, etc.

     

    Thanks

    seti,

    On the gain controls do you set them to your preference and/or tweak them per the music you listen to?  

    Oh, the load hum I was getting, because a few caps were blown in the power supply.  All fixed and music is good.

    I do agree with you very nice gear.  I have a pair of 2A3's mono blocks bought them directly from George and sound terrific in my system.

    All I have done is replace tubes.  I have been looking for a phono gear from George to compliment the mono blocks and found the WPL-20. They

    sounded good but have a hum.  I have a friend checking the tubes for me.  It did sound good in my system. (just didn't like the hum).

    Recently I added a pair of speakers DIY from Bottle Head, It was a nice build, I had fun doing it.  I would like

    to update gear but haven't found anybody around NM that works on this gear.

    Thanks for the reply...Which George Wright phono do you have.  I checked out the ad.  I have the same WPL-20.. The switches are on the left side and when I opened the equipment up there are tied to the phono inputs..

     

    Thanks

    I'm looking for any info on Wright's WPL-20.  Sound, best to tubes to use, is there a manual out there and opinions.  Also, I know George would tweak his equipment,  I noticed one had switches located on the side wired to the phono inputs.  What could these be used for?

     

    Thanks for your help.
