MUST READ--MUST READ--MUST READ--READ THIS FIRST!!!!...The key word in the title of this listing is SERVICE. What we are selling in this listing is the service work required to make your Phase Linear 400 perform like it did in the old days. If you remember it as having been an awsome amplifier, or if you have just acquired one and would like for it to live up to its reputation.....this listing is for you.
You are the proud owner of a Phase
Linear 400... series I, series
II... whatever. It almost works, or at
least it doesn't smoke or
erupt in flame, and that is a start. You
know that it is a cool
thing, and if it only worked well, you'd
love it. Correct! So you
ask around, surely somebody knows about
these. Wrong! Nobody in
your area seems to know. The highly
recommended repairman you know
says that it is too old and funky and you
should instead buy a Delta
Wing X-2500 at only $1,495.00, because it
has a third
channel. Cool... that will work for your
third ear. To some folks,
if it ain't home theater, it ain't
*&%$). Sigh.
You may now cheer up. Not only is it
possible to make your Phase
work, it is possible to return it to damn
near new condition. What's
more, with limited exceptions, you know the
price and what to expect
before you even start. The Phase Linear
400 Total Overhaul is meant
to take your marginal machine, and to make
it what God intended, and
it is less than $1495.00, by a fair
margin. You will be the envy or
your neighbors... you can go back and tell
the home theater guy
that he might be smart, but he doesn't
know EVERYTHNG.
You are now so enthused that I think you
should sit down in case
you hyperventilate. "How can this be?"
you say. Simple, you buy
the Complete Restoration here and send it
to me. The first thing I
will do is to evaluate the machine to make
sure that we have no
complications. After that I will proceed
to work the magic, and
send it back to you, and you will be
amazed at just how good these
guys sound. No foolin' folks, they are
famous for a reason.
Ever cautious, you say, "what if mine
doesn't fly and it is so bad
off that it costs waaaaaaaay too much to
fix it?" A reasonable
question that. Yes, this overhaul covers
a multitude of problems,
but they do sometimes need additional
stuff. That is the reason
for doing the detailed evaluation at the
outset. If I find that
anything additional is needed, I will
secure your approval at the
beginning of the process. I see a lot of
these guys, and I am happy
to report that they are amost always cost
effective to repair, and
when done right, they are a lot of fun.
Once it is complete, the
work is covered by the Circle Stereo 90
day limited warranty.
So you think this sounds like a reasonable
deal, but you don't feel so secure about how
well your particular Phase will come out. Or perhaps yours has smoked, or has been beaten up and left for dead so you think it may be the exception to the rule. If you prefer to find out exactly what is going on before it is approved I have just the thing. On my eBay store, you will find a listing: "DIAGNOSTIC SERVICE---VINTAGE AUDIO COMPONENTS". When you purchase this service, you get the pleasure of a complete evaluation and report about your unit before you are committed to the complete service. This is also a good bet if you have a Phase amp, tuner, or preamp for which I have not yet created a listing.
You have always known that your Phase 400 is a serious piece of equipment, if only it could be made to perform as Bob Carver meant it to. Well, that can be done, and this is how you do it.
