** Any buyers not living where the AC power is 120 volt & 60Hz should be
aware of the major problem they will have likely with this US model amp.

Plus the fact they are notorious for developing faults that send 80 volts DC
to the speakers - destroying them.

Sounds to me like he doesn't listen using one, if he's put it up on Ebay.

On Ebay he claims to have used one personally. Indeed he makes reference to the classic Phase Linear
sound.

Which, of course, is always a good reason to avoid any supposedly
transparent sounding device.

Caveat: I have owned and used the same Phase Linear 700 Series II amp for
over 30 years. No flames yet.

** That is a very remarkable claim.

Since PL700 Mk2s were not out until the late 70s.

Made me look. It was 2/7/79, $650. Only 27 years old.
I guess those discos I did at my high school were after I graduated.

I think the Series II fixes most of the blowing up problems even if it
doesn't fix the sonic ones.

I was at the Little Five Points Pub when one of the earlier Phase Linears
erupted into flames. I think most of the patrons thought it was an effect
at first.

Studiomaster's 800B amplifier of the late 70s was essentially a ruggedised ( and
flameproof ) version of the PL 700 designed for road use.

** Nope - he just blows it out his fat arse.


... the Series II fixes most of the blowing up problems


** Nonsense - they were even worse than the earlier series.

The +/- 15 volt DC supplies to the IC kept failing, sending the amps DC -
also output devices failed for any number of reasons with the same result.



even if it doesn't fix the sonic ones.


** More asinine, audiophool crapology

- as usual for the cretinous Dorsey.

What sonic problems do you detect? Are there mods to compensate?

Maybe I'm too used to it, but I can't hear any amp artifacts over speaker
artifacts.

I always found them very shrill on the top end, and kind of smeary. These
amps come from the tradition that all ills can be fixed with massive negative
feedback, and I have never liked the way any of those have sounded in general.

artifacts.

They're sure a lot less obvious than speaker artifacts.

His caps lock key could be broken ... O;-) ... anyway, dunno about the
phase 400, I have heard it on KEF-stuff and on Klipschs back when it was
new and it did both things well. But the 700's mk 1 sure killed a lot of
JBL 15" units for the guys who tried to use them for PA.
