D-500

I cant say I`ve ever heard of one but after seeing this ad, it seems like it`s the holy grail of amplifiers! Are these amps that sought after?
Asking price of $4300, $2000 spent in parts alone, I think not. What parts could possibly cost that much?

MAYBE, $2000 Canadian but there isn't $2000 in parts, in one. Unless he had to buy a transformer from somebody, or got screwed badly with marked up prices, he's full of shit.

Hi all
I have retired and I am busy putting my fabrication shop together at home so I can build things again. Is getting to cold so time to head back to the Phase linear projects. I will be building a d500 that can drive those low 2 or less ohm Kappa’s some here own. It’s going to have 40 output drivers. Three cooling fans on the back and a dual mono WO board. I have no need for one but I can so I will build it.
 
Nice! I am looking to do similar, use WO board and build chassis and my own PL style amp with 40 outputs. MJ21196 /195s. I will be driving it with +/- 127 volt rails (2 of them at 10 amps a piece, also I will be using the 220v windings on the primaries of the toroids). This project is after I repair a slew of 400s and 700s, both Series Is and IIs. I have a pile of them from my brother and his son. I traded my rebuilt and upgraded 400 Series II for a 700 Series II (I already have a working one that needs upgraded), a 400 Series II and 400 Series I. Regarding his son, for restoring a 400 Series I and upgrading his 700 Series II, I get a 400 Series I and a 400 Series II.

Anyways, a quick question. I have a "Dual" 500 (Must be an older one, because I know they are D500s. That being said, off the top of you head, do you know the physical size of those 13000 MFD / 125v power supply caps? I have the service manual and it only gives a PL part number, no physical size. I am looking to replace with maybe 15,000 @ 160v. I do have 4 Hitachachi but they may be too physically large.

Thanks!
Jerry

Nice! So for my Dual 500, I would need just 2. How much do you want for 2 if I ay ask? The PL clone I will be making in the future has higher voltage.
