| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @funky54 ...Thank you Sir/Madame! I'd enjoy having a beer or coffee with you. | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @funky54 , You are 100% correct. There's a big wall of ego out there that should not be excused. I just wanted to make the point that I want to hold off on personally attacking or criticizing Bob Carver given its undisputed he does not have any... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @paulbottlehead , You open the stuff up way more frequently than I. So, THANK YOU. It was a bit of a pain to do this. I had to, incidentally, re-solder the wires linking the meter to the board. That involved careful desoldering and patience t... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier So many great comments here Team. Thank you. I’m so ambivalent. Before we/I move to my/our reptilian brains and go scorched earth.... If you will allow me... Bob Carver grew up obsessed with hifi. He was a tinkerer-turned-PhD in physics. As a bo... | |
| Sale on Marantz PM Ki Ruby Integrated! Will do! I have only used two Class D amps before--an NAD M22 and a Peachtree Nova 300. Both were great but didn't really move me. Let's see if Ken Ishiwata has the mojo! | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Exactly Mulveling! That is a pretty specific benchmark it has to meet. I emailed Frank Malitz asking for an explanation. | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Thanks @tomic601 @mulveling , you make good points. It's still a fine little amp. One of the biggest reasons I purchased it was its ability to drive all sorts of speakers. I seriously question it can drive a 4 ohm load at 75 watts even at peak... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Also, now that I feel it’s appropriate to pile on with questions given the evidence... Even though Frank says these amps are always sold out, they were always available at Music Direct. Just recently, Music Direct’s website started saying the ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Well, Curiosity and my love of drilling down to get to an answer got the best of me. I took the PCB off its mounts and got to the output transformer. I didn't not get to both OPTs, as this would be more work and I think we can assume both OPTs... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @funky54, Yes, I do think they need to just get to it and explain more about the transformers and testing. I have half a mind to open mine up to inspect the transformer situation. When will the sloppy guys at ASR be testing a legit one with a... | |
| Schitt Loki Max I agree. I think the pricepoint is amazing given the level of engineering and quality of the unit. It seems they designed this to fit into even high end systems. Go Schitt! @raysmtb1 , that is the funniest and smartest thing I've heard all ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Thank you for chiming in Frank. It looks like that ASR folks could have been more scientific in ensuring they were testing an actual amplifier built in California by Wyred4Sound. Now, this still leaves open the issue, what JJSS and Atmas-Phere a... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier I agree Charles1Dad! @fmalitz , we are waiting with bated breath! | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Keeping me laughing and having fun tomic601! Thank you! | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Oh, Ralph, I'll think about opening it up again. I'd have to remove all the guts to get to the trannies. Not something I'm keen on doing, but I could.... |
