| 901 series 2 speakers g_nakamoto,I owned a pair of 901V's. I liked them, a lot. They needed power which I had. Phase Linear 400 was good, the McIntosh MC2300 was better. They were the only pair of speakers that I had ever owned that could take everything the Mac go... | |
| Mcintosh autoformers..... I think the last Big Mac amp that didn't use one was the MC-2300, from about 1971. After that time, I think they all had auto formers but I am not certain.Google Roger Russell, he would have that type of info..N | |
| phase linear amplifiers 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 min... | |
| phasel linear 400 I drove the hell out of my Phase Linear 400. Never had so much as one hiccup, never fried any speakers, never blew any outputs, etc, etc.. Had many friends who also used Phase with great success. Yes, I also owned McIntosh too, lots of it. Neve... | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? chuxhifi,Doesn't surprise me. A friend ran two D-500's bi-amping a pair of the original AR-9's. Sounded amazing. I could easily live with my old Phase Linear gear. Enjoy the 700. It's a wonderful little amp.The damping factor on the 700 is 1000... | |
| How do we remember 1970s amplifiers? g_nakmoto,I have to say that back in the 70's I was a Phase Linear user and was surrounded by others who used Phase Linear. I remember the sound being wonderful, fast and clean. Amps that I owned were the 400 series's One and Two. Never a problem... | |
| the Q-Up I was surprised by the cheap construction. But after two years of daily use, I've had no problems at all. I recommend them. They works as advertised. N | |

| Mac C 22 down, need advice Have you checked to make sure that there power to the outlet? That half of the outlet isn't controled by a wall switch? (actuallty had the last one happen once).I would recommend looking in the Mac manual. It should have a quick trouble shooting... | |

| Best tonearm for London Reference Cartridge My SME 3012 series one has always done a nice job with my Decca.Eckart, love your comment about 'digital ears'. If anyone is listening to a London Reference or a Decca, or a Luminere for the first time you really must stop comparing and just 'lis... | |
