Description: Up for grabs is the mighty Phase Linear 400 – a true vintage beast pumping out over 200 watts per channel. Known for producing some of the best audio gear of its time, Phase Linear later evolved into Carver, a name still respected in high-end audio today.

This particular unit has a serious backstory – it was purchased from a member of the iconic Kiwi band The Drongos. If you’ve ever stumbled across their Wikipedia page, you'll know they were no small act. They toured extensively across New Zealand and the USA, and this amp was with them the whole way. It powered their instruments and sound at countless gigs, blasting music to packed bars and big venues full of fans.

Thanks to its well-travelled life, this unit has been professionally serviced by the previous owner, ensuring it’s good to go for another 40+ years of action. This unit is in excellent full working condition.

Whether you're an audio enthusiast, collector, or just someone who appreciates a good story behind good gear, this is not just an amp – it’s a living, humming piece of Kiwi music history. It's likely seen more shows, crowds, and backstage passes than most of us ever will.

Perfect as a functional showpiece in your studio, man cave, or bar. Picture it: this amp next to your Harley FXR, a cold drink, some records spinning – you get the idea

This unit complies with New Zealand electrical standards.

The speaker connections on the back can be disconnected with speaker wired attached directly to the amplifier on the side.
