Phase Linear 400 System on Craigs list

[HPM 200]

I came across this the other day on craigslist and thought I would put it up here
in case someone here is interested. Mike

Phase Linear 400 System - $845 (Arvada, CO)

condition: Amp needs repair.
make / manufacturer: Phase Linear, Lynnwood, WA, Utah
model name / number: Amp. 400, PreAmp. 4000, Tuner 5
size / dimensions: 19 inch rack mount
Don't know much about this system from the 1970s. Includes matching P-L 5000 tuner and P-L 4000 pre amplifier. Bob Carver designed it who set the high power (400 Watts), audio standard with it. I understand this equipment is OEM and untouched since manufacture, with the exception of the speakers which match the Phase Linear electronics by vintage. I bought these acoustic suspension Utah's (10") about 45 years ago and upgraded them with high frequency drivers and crossover networks from ISI in Denver a few years later. They are actually made of real walnut wood veneered high density particle board. They still work perfectly and are comparable to large Advents. Their sound is excellent compared to Fisher, etc. The amplifier needs repairs and has a serial number of 3xxx. These components will need to be auditioned, one at a time, at your place. Please pardon the pink hued pictures.

Man, I love Utah speakers.

Every set I ever had in the 80s got blown up, they don't handle shit for power. Didn't Henry Kloss own this company also??? I always seemed to find them with Lafayette equipment

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

The speakers handle 35 watts???

Damn, we make things go.... We make things go boom...

Perry, I think it would be cool if there was a vid posted with Utah's hooked up to a WOPL. It would be even cooler if the FD was there to put them out when they caught on fire LMAO!!!!!

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

That sounds like some excitement.... The wife would choke me out if I blew the cones out in a ball of fire and something caught on fire... I used the saying, "Stand Back, I'm what you call a professional" once and never heard the end of it... Women......

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

I'll look for some cheap local speakers and try it...... I almost got to see it last weekend when the WOPL I delivered overpowered a small set of Epicures......

A sure way for me to have a disaster is to say.....Watch this.....

A story worth hearing please

Me and the wife had returned from a venture out on the Harley several years back, I pulled into the garage and as the wife got off the back, I said.."I think I'll do a burnout"... She said, I wouldn't if I was you.... I says... "I'm what you call a professional"..... Stand back..... She stepped up on the steps which go into the house, I revved up the beast.... Dropped the clutch..... And I got more traction than anticipated and I proceeded to put the Road King through the dry-wall at the back of the garage.... I guess that's why the tell you that beers and bikes don't mix... Stand Back I Say....

My friend was a dance DJ for our college's dances in the 80s and early 90s and at one he was running four Marantz HD somethings (maybe 660s) and I noticed that one was smoking from the woofer coil. It took a minute to get his attention and he carefully removed it.

That had to be expensive. I've had an integrated amp weld a woofer coil (Sansui A-80 and Altec Model One).

And they were fairly efficient for the 'normal' amps of their day...

I hate to break the news to you all, but you ain't 'normal'

Bwahahhahahahahhahahaaaa! I have done some stupid shit also so I can laugh with you. Never put a bike through drywall but I have had some interesting fire episodes. Like soaking a pile of brush with gasoline... I let it soak in good and was trying the old strike the match and toss. Matches kept going out so I get a little closer....

WHOOOOOOMMMMPPPPHHHHH, felt the blast of heat all around me but saved my eyelashes and hair by throwing myself back LMAO!!!! Deb said I had a fireball go right around me!!!

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

HA.... At least I was wearing a helmet..... (not really, no helmet law in Minnesota).

I ram my first go kart through t b e neighbors garage door. Hadn't hooked the brakes up yet...

 

[WOPL Sniffer]

Brakes? we don't need no stinkin brakes. Remember Lee, safety starts at home.

I had a gokart as a kid, my Uncle hooked up two McCulloch chainsaw motors (one driving each rear wheel). Brakes were my sneakers

Worked in a grocery store 1989-91 and a young doofus from the meat department was in the break room trying to light a you know, and damned near burned a hole in the crotch of his jeans.

Told him I was pretty sure Workmans' Comp DIDN'T cover that.

The Case family has pyromania in our DNA. My uncle was (no, not scraping) burning the paint off of his exterior wall. The insulation caught fire. The FD responded. Now it's a sacred anecdote to be passed down thru the generations lol.
