PL 700B recently posted and already over $1,400.00!!!

Somebody is helping the seller....look at the bid history...,in my humble opinion anyway...

That would be my guess too Lee. Looks like 2 legitimate bidders and one shill...

I've seen that before - you'd think the legit bidders would notice the same bidder submitting multiple consecutive bids.
 
I have actually been watching EBAY and other audio sites for a while now and any 700B that was half way decent sold for at least a grand.
Maybe I should try to find a GAS Ampzilla instead. Anyone remember those? :iconbiggrin:

HMMMMMMMMMMMM. Damn that is pretty!
The 700B on EBAY from my first post sold today for $1425.00 + $96.00 in shipping. If I could sell one for $1425.00 that would almost cover it. :iconbiggrin:
What I want to know is who in hell needed TWO of those??

Does White Oak have any upgrades for the pre amp?
 
No upgrades for the 4000....and don't hold your breath...


Phase Linear Phanatic has a 4-700B stack, and he uses all 4 of them....he has quite a speaker collection...

I used to do that to frustrate people, it's not necessarily a shill, it's like porcupine quills.

I borrowed Doug's (fitz43) GAS Ampzilla. A very nice amp and my favourite in that power range. There is a recommended service centre that does specialized work for this model.

Crazy prices for these guys. The 4000 could bring you a couple hundred or so if all goes well reselling it on Eprey. Some of the issues with the 4000 is mother board flexing if a board is pulled and reinstalled as the mother board support is minimal. The connectors on the boards and the mother board can be problematic - minimal contact surface and the contacts are not gold plated. In addition to the above - there an ass ton of electrolytic capacitors used. Of course Bob Carver implemented many of his designs in one preamp so...

Reselling one of the 700 B amps on Eprey - who knows how much they will go for.

I have never used EBAY but a friend of mine has been into it for years. He says there is a program (or something) that will automatically out bid the highest bid for you up to the maximum amount you set. I think he called it a "sniper".
 
Yep.....handy for when you can't be home in that last minute..
