Phase Linear (Magazine Reviews, Articles, Etc.)

[oldphaser]

I would like to generate a new thread whereby we can post Phase Linear magazine reviews, articles, etc.
Where possible, I will also provide URL addresses to other websites which contain these articles of information.

Here is the first:

I do hope Ed forgives me jumping into his thread.

Still I thought about some interviews with Bob Carver worth to mention here. I particularly like these two:

1) regarding Phase Linear company beginnings (short version): https://youtu.be/6YpUl9YwjvM

2) on variety of audio topics from Bob Carver professional record, including the famous 'Challenge' (long version): https://youtu.be/cFWZJrJWtzc

The latter, when you watch the video from the 50:00min time mark, gives somehow his voice related to amplifiers' damping factor addressed by Joe and other Phoenix board members... To me these are very interesting views.

And for all of us, so much addicted to the sound of PL700A/I/B/II amplifiers - it is for Bob his no.1 product of pride and the greatest design he made... (https://youtu.be/kvg3ux4s2S0)

Have fun!

Pretty favorable review for the PL400, too bad they couldn't do the comparison with the White Oak upgrades!

 

[laatsch55]

White Oak was about 40 years out yet....

OUR SYSTEM, Marco...

Good to hear from you,

Ciao!

I have said "my system" because I have a C 4000 with two M400As that power a pair of AR 9 in passive biamp mode .
My father has PL 400 / PL 700 and 2 X PL 4000 with Allison One and Infinity RSiiiB .
Whatever the sound is always great .
Ciao and enjoy the music .

Interesting Mike. Pretty cool where the manufacturer is invited to comment on the review.

Another confirmation of the contributions of Steve Johnston....
