Sold FS: Modified Linear Power 5002

[kappa546 10+ year member]

One of the best stereo amps out there if you're a power junkie... it roughly does 400x2 @4ohm stereo and something like 1400w mono (conservatively). MSRP in 1986 was $900 for a stock 5002 and the mod costs $175. I want $500 plus shipping

What does the mod do?

Edit: great amps too! I had one awhile back and LOVED it.

taken from the LP site:

"Even the best amplifiers can perform and sound better with a little help. Here's what you can expect:

 

These modifications improve dynamics, channel separation, musical detail and information. You can also expect a greater signal to noise ratio, better sound stage and image, smoother midrange, more natural overall sound, more headroom and damping factor, softer clipping, extended low end response and more power output.

 

The power supply fets are changed to parts with double the current capability of the factory devices, the storage capacitors are changed to parts with over double the storage and filtering than the stock components. The transformer's current and voltage capabilities are also increased. The pre-amp and output stages are also refined and improved with various additional parts and part changes to improve the overall sonic capability of the amp. "

they sure are... it baffles me how most people around here will pay the same amount for much inferior amps with bloated power ratings. if these were rated like those you guys would pee your pants. You guys need to try some real A/B power!
