| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @daveyf , Yes, and I have read books that cover the subject. Most authors are very serious about this and seem to say what you say here--that many designers get it wrong. Bob Carver has a PhD in physics so maybe he can explain how it is safe. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @erik_squires , I found it out by looking at it--literally opening the unit up. Also, the folks at AudioScienceReview.com saw it too. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure upon initial discovery whether the grounding scheme had some other means of... | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? @blkwrxwgn , AGREED. Maybe I'm in the mid-January doldrums up here in gray Chicago, but I'm growing tired of the drop in posts that are all over the place. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @lowrider -Interesting. I’m not an expert but, at minimum, I would like to see that all of those power hook up connections were totally insulated so in the event one of them came loose they would be shielded from conducting with anything by the i... | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? Thanks @mijostyn . I have never heard the JC1 and really want to. Thank you! Atmas-phere is on my list to try with these someday too, PS. I have always admired your media room and your woodworking skills. :) | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? Ozzy62, how does your Allnic sound with your La Scales? --Sorry if off topic. :) | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? Also, Mr. B, what are your high-end amps that the Topping PA5 sounds as good as or that you would at least be happy with per your post? You have me intrigued. | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? Mr Bourne have you heard your recommendation with horns or the speakers in question? | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Yes, Austinlawyer, Music Direct stopped selling them as well as an outfit on the East Coast, whose name escapes me at the moment. | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @jjptkd Anyone who wants to sell a Crimson 275 for $5 let me know I'll cover shipping thanks. HA! | |
| Help with finding a new streamer. Ghdprentice is correct! If you enjoy music on a level that you’re in this forum, you owe it to yourself to start with the best digital streaming source you can. Why? Well, first, improvement in sound related to the cost of buying a new piece of... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier I wrote Frank Malitz and informed of the safety issue with lack of a proper chsssis ground. (I’m not installing one myself as I am not an expert in safety when it comes to this type of ground.) I also asked him if he could, in turn, tell me whet... | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? @bjesien , YES!!! You not playing around. That is one capable integrated. question—What’s your experience like with that amp? I’m curious as to when you got, for what setup, what you like it with the CWIVs. I know you may be busy so no w... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @grovergardner , In the Doge I really like NOS Brimar 12AT7sbut the reissue Mullards 12AX7s (when from a good source) are very quiet. Reissue Gold Lions are fantastic yet I have had them grow noisier overtime. The Doge experience is really f... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Yes @charles1dad you are correct. My 300 b uses Lundahl PT and OPT and I think it makes a big difference. |
