Purple Phase Linear 700 Front Panel

The purple 700 Phase Linear is owned by Darrel Fisher. Darrel installed sound systems in a number of discos back in the day.
Most of all of the amplifiers Darrel owns have been gone through by me at one time or another approximately 10 years ago including the purple 700.
All of the amps (that weren't already fully comp amps) have been converted into a fully complementary output using PL36 pc boards with MJ15024 and MJ15025 output transistors.
By the way, Darrel is a huge Phase Linear fan and would like to build a million watt Phase Linear system, in an effort to establish a new Guinness World Record. Any donations of Phase Linear amps would be greatly appreciated by Darrel.

From what I have heard only (1) or (2) purple 700's were ever built. Perhaps as prototypes for Heil Sound.
Phase Linear however did build approximately (50) purple Phase Linear 400's for Heil Sound.

I LOVE sitting in on a Phoenix history lesson. Has anybody here written a book yet? If yes, we have another chapter being written before our very eyes. Every day one of you builds an amp or invents a widget....

To quote one of our very own Guru's.... COOLNESS!!!!
 
PHASE LINEAR & BOB CARVER HISTORY

I have been asked many times to put down into words all that I know about Phase Linear and Bob Carver.
Needless to say, I believe it would be a fascinating story. Not all is known about Bob Carver yet.
Even those that have known him for 50+ years don't know all the details.

By the way, here is a question many of you will not know the answer to. What was Bob's name at birth? What was his name when he attended college? What was his name when he entered the military? (Lee you are excluded from this since I already told you the answers)

By the way, The Absolute Sound is coming out with their second coffee table book:
"Illustrated History of High End Audio Volume Two Electronics" $129.95. Due to come out by the end of this month.
......starting on page 71 Robert W. (Bob) Carver: Phase Linear, Carver Corporation,Sunfire, Bob Carver Corporation
Dean Nissen and I met with Bob Carver (in August) and provided him with photos and stories that he in turn passed onto Robert Harley (the editor). Dean and I are anxious to see if we will be given any created for the photos we provided.

Perry,

The questions I asked I only obtained the answers to a couple months ago and I've been a Phase Linear fan for 40 years.
None of his partners and close friends knew the answers except for one. And the one that did didn't know about his some of his childhood years spent overseas.

Ed, the blue faced 400s were for Clair only right? The purples were Heil?

I haven't seen any blue faced 400's for Clair. I have never seen any 400's made specifically for Clair Brothers either.

I have seen purple Heil 400's but no blue Heil 400's. Likewise I don't think a blue Heil 400 exists as well.

PHASE LINEAR & BOB CARVER HISTORY

OK time now for the first hint.

Go to ancestry.com and look up "Bertina "Tina" J. Brown". (Tina was Bob's mom.)
NOTE: You may most likely need an account to access this information.

I have been looking on and off all day for the forum I read it in, something about 40 blue faceplate 400s were made for some company. Had to do with an article about the flying S4 setups and the amps used (I think). Maybe DIY Forum??? I deleted my history yesterday or I would post the link. I could have sworn there was a picture of one here on the board along with a purple. On AK, a guy was asking if anyone see's a blue faceplate version to contact him awhile back also

I am not aware of any Clair S4 setups using Phase Linear 400's.

Is the posting below on Audio Karma the one you were thinking of?:
