phase linear amplifiers


back in the early 70's I bought a phase linear 400 amp. never will buy phase linear again. in 2000. it fried 3 of my speakers. later on I read they they were known to do this. they were  cheap money for the big watts but were not well designed well to work under stress. I have McIntosh now. no worrys!

I guess we all know now that you hate Phase linear.  I think I've read this phase 400 slam on three threads now.

I'm sure the next step here is to slam Bob Carver? I didn't think so.  The man has more patents than any amp designer that comes to mind, save Nelson Pass.

It  sounds like your amp gave you good service. Really anything no matter how well built can fail from time to time.. Everything has an expiration date, that's why routine service is recommended.

enjoy your Mac amp.  Good gear, but it too will need service at one point or another.
