RE: LV2000 demands

I've had many monitors fail after installing a zanen kit (especially star
wars, it's real hard on these monitors)
One HUGE advantage of the LV2000 is that even if the power transistors do
fail, it won't take out the LV2000, it just shuts itself down.
(A failed transistor almost always burns up the low voltage section)
I've also seen problems in the HV section cause the low voltage section to
go, but it's never affected an LV2000.

Jeff,

        I have, and have had that same opinion for a long time.

        While we're LV2000 bashing, a frequent failure in the LV
PS that I've seen is in the output power transistors (2N3716/2N3792.)

        The LV2000, nor any other scheme can really get rid of these.

        Just my $.02. And it's just my opinion on the whole thing....
