  He &quot;appeared&quot; to be pretty competent? Oh my goodness gracious, did you learn differently. I&apos;m speechless. Good that it&apos;s now yours and will get the proper attention. She&apos;s a beauty and deserves better.

  Hi there, I recall demoing quite a bit of Phase Linear equipment as a HiFi salesman for customers. My opinions of PL was always that their equipment &nbsp;sounded unique. It had good sound no doubt about that, but Bob Carver had a talent for coming up with idea&apos;s outside of the mainstream, and marketing them as some sort of audio bliss magic dust. Thanks for the video.

  Currently waiting on one that will need repair.<br> &nbsp;In Toronto Canada I have had bad luck with technician&apos;s. I hope the next place works out.

  Just the fact that somebody imagined all those parts and pieces, figured out what they should do, then how to make them, make a lot of them, then figured out what order to put them in to get the desired results....... I&apos;m not saying it was space aliens, but it was probably space aliens.

  If you compair the spect to the Phase Linear 2000, the 2000 has better Signal to noice ratio and less distortion. &nbsp;In my mind noice and distortion is the enemy when it comes to HiFi. &nbsp;I too had a 4000, I thought the thing had to much noice.

  Interesting tour of the Autocorrelation function. Did you do nothing more than repair the connectors and touch up the solder joints, and service the controls? No recapping?
