Used Gear

I just looked at USAudio Mart and found a couple EMO amps for sale......including some G2.    An XPA-5 and some others......
I don't know from condition or if the price is good or bad......but if you are interested, start flipping pages.

And for Keith?    I KNOW you've been waiting for a Phase Linear 400 V2 with upgrades.     This is a real old-school monster and
once had a reputation.    And not the best.    But the seller seems to have a handle on things and IF you want one, might want to'
give the guy a chat-up.......

Over in speakers?   Some JBL L100s, which really looked nice and some original 'large' Advent.....which appear to be refoamed.    

Some other vintage pieces, too.....and some very interesting stuff.    A Decware amp and a couple from VTA........One a new ST70 that
appears to be a pristine build.    

Too BAD I'm so broke I can't pay attention.....and have NO relation to any sellers or vendors ON the 'mart'.......

….An old story for sure, but a good one for me!
Despite the Blaze Linear reputation the original 400 garnered, I did very well with mine. For 11 years, mine was pushed to the limits accompanying live drums and playing music at live listening levels. No complaints after such a period of HD usage. (The speakers were an easy load to drive too.)
After that I figured it was “game over” for Bob Carver if he didn’t toughen up his amps. and the ones that followed were bullet proof ( comparatively speaking.) I’ve been running his amplifiers since 1988 with A zero failure rate. The last one is going strong now at nearly 22 years of age. Not a peep of hum or anything weird…..just dead quiet performance. Those 1988’s were the Carver 1.0t’s which netted me 350.00 each after 13 years of trouble free service

My M400t (Tmod) lasted 20+ years but finally died in service.
I wanted to replace what I could and after starting to open? Realized it was an Electronic Chinese Puzzle Box with NO clear sequence of disassembly......
It had been repaired once at POWER COMPANY expense after a glitch took it out and i was able to identify the exact day and time of the 'event'.....
