phasel linear 400


back in the 70's the 400 and 700 were the cheapest for the most watts. they are known to fry speakers because they didn't work well under stress. I will never buy a refurbished one. I have McIntosh now!

Somehow I just couldn’t resist on this one. I’m sure a slip of the typing hand, but it is Phase Linear. In my early days of audio I owned and greatly enjoyed a “Phase 400” driving stacked Advents and yes even triple Advents for a time. I can still hear (what?!). Selling hi-fi at the time while in school, I thought Bob Carver delivered amazing value in the Phase Linear 400 and 700/B amplifiers. Never a reliability problem, ever… And no, I’m not a Carver “fan boy” just stating factual experience. And as others have mentioned, what’s really the point?
