| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Can someone show me documented case where injurie resulted from an ungrounded piece of equipment? I know Keith Richards was shocked on stage and same with the guitarist from Kiss when their guitars created a circuit due to lack of proper ground... | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? @testpilot , HA! That made me smile. @oldhvymec, You too! I knew you had a valve thing going but not Class D too! We might be cut from the same cloth. I have this weird sense that what you are saying is what I'm experiencing. I know it's ob... | |
| Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger.... Thank you everyone! She was an amazing talent. Wow. She sings a blues so effortlessly. It's really something. | |
| What Would Be the Reasoning Behind Leaving Class D Amps On? So yes, and I've researched the threads. But I haven't heard the basis for why Class D might sound better. I get little to no heat, they aren't tubes, etc. What's the science behind why they sound better. Just curious. | |
| Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger.... Thank you. I’ll get to that album next! I was researching her today and saw she died at 33, was it? | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Thank you @imhififan | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Team Audiogon, Trying to put this into perspective... If the amp measures 15W continuous at 4ohm with <1% distortion, it might be fair to say that when driving 8ohm nominal Klipsch Cornwall IVs at 102dB efficiency, the amp sounds or can sou... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @daveyf , Agreed. Personally I like the sound of the amp quite a bit through high-efficiency speakers. However, this whole thing is a dog and pony show. I really respect Bob and what he has done for the hi-fi community. However, the responses from... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Carver Corporation Refund: By the way, Bob Carver (by handle) chimed in on ASR offering a full refund to consumers who bought the amp if they want it, directing consumers to email info@bobcarvercorp.com | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock I have asked EJ Sarmento of Wyred4Sound the following questions on the ASR thread where he chimed in: "Folks have raised these salient questions to which there has been utterly no response--just conclusory statements by Malitz and now Bob. Maybe... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Hi @jea48 , can you explain the takeaway for us from this observation? Are you saying the B- is properly handled so we do not have to worry about other means of chassis grounding? | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jea48 , I wish you were in my town and I could take a class from you. Thank you. It seems we may be seeing an update from Carver Corp. on this soon per Jim Clark. However, @jea48 , if Carver Corp.'s offer is to chassis ground the scheme would... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Just sent him a message asking... 1. Update on Lack of Chassis Ground 2. Whether Bob Carver specified the 15w Edcor output transformers in the design? (noting OPTs and PT now have hum and buzz). | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock I saw that. I'll email him now. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @raysmtb1, many of us respect Bob and love what he’s done for hifi. He’s a legend in my book. Go read my posts about this amp. You’ll see we’ve given him the benefit of many doubts. But anyone saying the lack of proper grounding on this amp is not... |
