WON'T Work at all Ray....... Waste of time and money

Ray,

You got it all wrong. No free lunch on G2.
(1) Screens need their own totally-SEPARATE G2 supply
(2) Iron MUST ABSOLUTELY be under TEN Ohms - to get amp to boogie, and far LOWER than that is sonically MUCH more desireable. ( One should really read ALL my G2 posts.)
I currently use a Power Trannie that is 2.3 ohms in DCR, weighs about 18 pounds, and an L1 which is ONLY .16 ohms DCR !!
Low low low DCR RULES, must be given priority ...... on G2!!
( No ones ever heard this execution AFAIK. )
(3) Typically requires an external G2 supply to the amp, but its worth it to me, maybe not to others - 'till they were to hear it !
Jeff Medwin
PS : I can suggest specific iron parts which are OK to use.
