Ovanligt försteg på svenska marknaden vilket jag köpte hos Reference Audio härom året och använt relativt sparsamt. Låter förträffligt bra och neutralt och med ett mycket bra riaa. Det går utmärkt att komma och göra en provlyssning, så kopplar jag ihop den med något.. Frequency response: 10Hz to 135kHz Total harmonic distortion: 0.003% Input sensitivity: 2.2mV (MM), 225mV (line) Signal to noise ratio: 92dB (MM), 98dB (line) Channel separation: 50dB (line) Output: 2V (Pre out)
At kr2,200, this sits well below your kr3,656 25th percentile and far under the kr4,868 median, so it reads as a strong bargain in the current used market. Compared with the typical range up to kr7,979, the asking price leaves plenty of room for a sensible buyer, especially if the unit is complete and functions properly.
This is a worthwhile buy because older Phase Linear gear has a following for its punchy, lively presentation and vintage appeal, and the model’s higher-market comparables suggest there’s real upside if it’s been cared for. At this price, I’d be looking for clean cosmetics, evidence of recent service, and confirmation that all channels and controls behave quietly; if those check out, it’s an easy enthusiast-level pickup.

Phase Linear was founded by Bob Carver in his home in Edmonds, Washington, around mid-1969, with the company officially launched in 1970 from a small building at 405 Highway Way. Operating as an American manufacturer during the golden age of high-fidelity audio, Phase Linear quickly established itself as an innovator in power amplification. The company remained independent until 1979, when Pioneer Electronics Corporation acquired it, though Phase Linear continued operating under its own brand until manufacturing ceased in 1983.
The brand built its reputation primarily on high-powered amplifiers, most notably the Phase Linear 700, unveiled in 1970 and delivering an impressive 350 watts per channel—a significant achievement for the era. This inaugural design became the company's flagship offering and exemplified their engineering philosophy of combining substantial output with reliable construction. Phase Linear's amplifiers became synonymous with driving demanding speaker loads and delivering the dynamic power that serious audiophiles sought during the 1970s and early 1980s.
Phase Linear occupies a distinctive position in audio history as a vintage collectible brand rather than a contemporary manufacturer. Among enthusiasts and restoration communities, the company is remembered fondly for solid build quality and components that continue functioning reliably decades after production ended. Today, Phase Linear equipment appeals primarily to vintage audio collectors and restoration hobbyists who value the brand's engineering heritage and the warm, characterful sound signature associated with classic 1970s amplification.
