The preamps were OK compared to what was available at the time but it is a relic of the past. We used to call the power amps Flame Linears becuase they blew up on a regular basis. $400 is way to much to pay for a marginally performing outdated design.
Phase Linear 3500
I found someone selling the Phase Linear 3500 online... asking $400. I have little info on older electronics. I have to questions.
1. Was this a good preamp back in the day?
2. Is this a good investment, or has technology come to far? I could buy a NAD C162 for around the same price ($500). I am wondering if the Phase Linear is an oldie but goodie or a relic of the past.
Thanks,
JC
