Joe, this is a pretty late model 700, we're down to one center tap wire in the secondaries...

Jase , we are going a little deeper into yours than I did with Tim's. He lives closer and his is going to get some more attention in the future. You on the other hand will probably be running this one pretty hard so your getting 22,000uf caps...a 35 amp BR, and some bigger wire....
Beancounters strike again Lee...for the USA to become dominant again, manufacturers have to work at constantly improving the product value rather than making it cheaper.

So what your sayin is mine is so late a model they started losing stuff to drop there manufactures cost? If so I wonder if it's because they already knew they were selling the name or just plain and simple cost cuts?

And that's pretty sad Joe. Look at the 700B as a product that still had tremendous upside, as you've shown........

Phase Linear got sold several times. In the last days of the 700B the company had been sold and was in transition to the Series 2 which was another move to lower costs (and change the style to keep it current with the competition). Many companies succumb to that practice unfortunately.

And still improving it....we can now say the "buzz" is not inherent to the design....IT CAN BE FIXED.....



"Anything can be fixed Lee",.........."It's still bent Lee"......"Nobody tests amps like you do Lee"......

Joe, I'm glad you spend so much of your time and energy here, I'm glad everyone here spends the time and energy to be here. This is a funny place and just makes my day...
