Interesting Dave. Looks like Viewstar made the change then. I have both
the Viewstar and B&W PT-2500A manuals and both state 3500V in standby.
Wonder if that was the difference between yours and the "A" version?
Its still IMO the best 3-500 amp made. Too bad neither company could
market it successfully.
