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!

Thanks for the warning. I won't buy any 40 year old mid-fi amps from Phase Linear. Not that I was any danger of doing that.......
What's your point of this thread most of us are never going to buy one anyway.They had no speaker protection circuits and they sounded incredibly etched like nails on a chalkboard.
They were some of the most powerful solid state amps of the day mainly used for concerts and used in home systems with the guys using them having great hearing loss now.

I would take a old Threshold over anything carver ever made.
