Thoughts on the PL Dual-500!

The

The biggest hurdle might be Don’s DCP circuit.

Dual 500 is the only Phase Linear build with a DCP circuit built in to it from the factory.
I think there is a lot of misinformation about these amps. I guess I will have to work on clearing up the mystery of the Dual 500 / d-500

Dang,, somebody wanted a Dual-500 and box, real bad..

Original box may have had something to do with it...

Includes a service manual. That’s really gonna help!

That's a lot of money for a non-functional amp.

The original box looked a little off to me.. Its markings were for a D-500 not a Dual 500 and the magic marker serial number looked too new. It looked like some body just recently wrote the serial number on it. While the rest of the box graphics were well worn.. It all seemed kinda off to me. But it don't really matter. I don't want to rain on anybody's new buy. I will just leave it as a congratulations you are now a proud owner of a monster Phase Linear Dual 500 . These amps do have some power in their stock form and with a bit of work they will make you one happy camper..

Here's my mate with his D-500 [on the bottom] plus some of his 700 II's [he's got 11] and one side of his Altec VOTT's. [Voice of the Theatre.]
I have to say, it sounds pretty damn good from about 30 metres away.
His wife won't let him play at home, so it takes it out to his mate's place [out bush] and sets it up outside and lets it rip.

Now we know where all the PL700B amps have gone...

Now we know where all the PL700B amps have gone...

They're series II

The music system I took into the bush was more modest. It had to be incorporated into a backpack and tapes/batteries into someone else's backpack.

 

[mlucitt]

They're series II

I stand corrected, sometimes the II's looks like B's to my old eyes.

So, now we know where all the PL700 II amplifiers have gone!
