Bob has a new amplifier. Evidently the 'old' stuff is going away. Claims 85 WPC 18 Hz to 20 KHz minus 1 dB at less than less than .5% THD+N. Doesn't have that nice red or black gloss lacquer finish--more an industrial matte finish. $5000.00 direct, which is advertised as half what you'd expect to pay going through a dealer. 60 pounds, 5 year warranty, consumer pays one-way shipping during warranty period.
I know times change, and people change their outlook on life, but it is interesting to compare his latest offering with articles written by Bob, and written about him, back during the early Phase Linear days. Both
Audio and
Stereo Review had a few. His rationale for building a 700 watt amp in the first place, and so forth.
Edit: Vacuum tubes are warranted throughout the initial five year period, which is probably something no other manufacturer allows. At least I've never encountered that before.
