Phase-Linear Model 2000 Stereo Pre-Amplifier - Silver. Ships in original carton to lower 48 states ONLY! BUYER PAYS ALL SHIPPING COSTS. The Model 2000 Stereo pre-amplifier offers excellentspecifications, outstanding sonic performance and a unique AmbienceCircuit designed to retrieve out-of-phase signals while using the 2000 ina stereo mode. Prior to this time one had to add another amplifier and anadditional set of speakers to utilize such a system, but this is not true ofthe ambience system in the 2000. When listening to a record played through the2000 with the ambience circuit on, you will hear instruments that would not beaudible on our preamps. The music is on the record out of phase and the 2000corrects that problem In measurements made at CBS, the Model 2000 proveditself a strong performer. In neither channel did output clipping occur at lessthan 12,2 volts, whether driven singly or together. At an output level of 2volts (more than enough for full output from most power amps), harmonicdistortion was less than 0,02% in all cases - well below Phase Linears 0,1%spec. And if we ignore as inaudible all harmonics above 20 kHz, harmonicdistortion is no more than 0,0066% The Model 2000 is as super in the listening as it issmooth in the handling. Once one has become used to the controls, they areconvenient to operate and satisfying to touch. The extra flexibility in the tonecontrols (the separate knobs for each channel, as well as the variable turnoverpoints) delivers worthwhile options.
