fini Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 As I told Don early on, I did the heat sink repair myself, and everything went fine! Be extremely mindful of where the drilling debris goes! You don't want it floating about the inside of the chassis. Mark, did you mean cobalt bits? That's what I used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fini Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Snyder, you're getting worse in the comprehension dept., but I'll say Mark doesn't "run for the hills" when there's a problem with one of his products. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSnyder Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Beg too diffure------------ NOTE: Unfortunately, I can NOT myself do this mod to any pCATS any longer because I am unable to handle these heavy amps due to my arthritis. The hardest part of this mod is drilling through the stainless steel chassis. It requires carbide tipped drills. The rest is Tech 101 stuff. It requires the purchase of one special heatsink from Mouser.com (around $5). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Snyder, you're getting worse in the comprehension dept., but I'll say Mark doesn't "run for the hills" when there's a problem with one of his products. I agree with you but, technically, doesn't he already live in the hills? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Mark's products have been some of the best bang for the buck gear you could ever hope for, and giving him a hard time here will certainly earn you no favors. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point I dont get to listen to them for much over an hour at a time and havent had the problem again. They are so beautiful and new to me that I cant force myself to drill holes in the base just yet. I am simply going to remove the bottom covers for now as some others have done and I believe that will solve the issue. Down the road when the newness wears off I will do the permanent mod.

ssh Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I unplugged the JFL2A3s and plugged-up the PCats after taking off the base of one that has kept them mostly quiet for almost three years. Mark offered to do the mod for me in 2008, but I didn't want to hassle with boxing and sending them. I had no idea the fix could be as simple as getting some air under it. I've listened to them a few times for 10 min. then gone back to the 2A3s after one PCat quit. Tonight, two and a half hours later, It's still playing. GREAT THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!
