I have a Crimson 275, FirstWatt SIT3 and a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP Amplifier, PrimLuna Dialogue Premium Preamp, DENAFRIPS Terminator DAC, PS Audio Directstream DAC, Oppo 203, Custom Solid State Computer as server, IsoTek Aquarius conditioner and Klipsch Cornwall III in Indian Rosewood. I can say after going back and forth with both DACs and all my amplifiers that the Crimson 275 bested them all In Sound staging, micro and macro dynamics, inner detail and transparency, it just sounds real.
Carver 275 Crimson tube amp --- any feedback appreciated
I have a Platinum modified McCormack DNA .05 and a Pass Labs First Watt F5 with which I drive my Spatial Audio Hologram M4 Triode Master speakers. I have sworn off tube amps in the past, but I am intrigued with this new amp from Bob Carver. Wally Underwood as well as Jimclarkstereo in Illinois are now selling them for about $2500. I have never doubted Bob Carver's audio engineering genius. I would be keen to get a 75 wpc tube amp and the price seems very reasonable compared to similarly-powered tube amps.
I would be interested to hear what you lads think of this new amp. Thanks for any input you can provide.

Whitestix what does it matter anyway. All us 65 year olds are deaf as a door nob. You got cataracts yet? My first year on Medicare has broken both Uncle Sam's an my bank. We joke about the Fuzzlinear 700 but I had one and at the time it was insanely good. It highlighted how bad the Crown amps were and that SS amps had a future. Carvers current amps are no different. They show us how good and reliable a transformered tube amp can be and as always at a reasonable price. Go for it! I really would like to hear his line source loudspeakers. I'll bet they are not far off the ESL line source mark. |
