| 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.... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Ralph! Always great to hear from you. I've learned much from you over the years and, from what I can tell from due diligence, you have yet to steer me wrong. As far as the little birdie, I contacted Frank Malitz by email letting him know folks ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Yes, let's see how it plays out. I may even open mine up to take a look. It's tough to get into the transformer covers as you have to remove the circuit boards completely, which is a PIA! The amp does sound great. I had it side by side with ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Kinda silly.. doesn’t take an engineer to look up the transformer part number and see it’s only rated for 15 watts. . Doesn’t take an engineer to measure output at only 15 to 17 watts per channel.. pick on science nerds all you want. Well, it ... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Modjeski like Carver a genius… Yes, they both are! Good points Tomic | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier I did drive Wharfedale Linton Heritage speakers with the Crimson too. They are reportedly 90dB efficient and 6 ohm nominal impedance. Had gobs of power for those loudspeakers. Maybe 17 watts is all you need. | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier Funky54, I think you are making a big assumption, which may be true or it may not be true. That assumption is that ASR's testing was accurate and that it actually had a Crimson 275. The models ASR tested did not have serial numbers. The build... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier A little birdie told me that the amps subject of ASR's testing were, in fact, $600 kit amps--differing in quality from actual units sold with serial numbers. It doesn't come as a surprise that folks over at ASR believe they've uncovered a fraud.... | |
| Primaluna? PL makes great quality good sounding amps. I owned one. Pros --Superb customer service --Excellent build quality (almost in the top tier) --Easy to operate, great features, and reliability --Some of the best remote controls in the busi... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier I read the Audiosciencereview site testing and forum posts on this amp. A couple of thoughts. Folks, especially those who tested it, seem very confident that the amp cannot make spec output, uses Edcor PT and/or OPTs, and is a fraud. The ori... | |
| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @funky54, I'm curious to read the fire from other cites/posts. Can you put up some links? fiesta75, Can you tell us why you believe the 275 is a disappointment? Did you/do you own one? What experience do you have with the amp? What is ... | |

| Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk. I have the Feickert. It's a nice machine. However, setting the pivot to spindle is not so easy on my Technics 1200 GAE. It's kind of tricky to get the thing to hit and stay on the very dead center. Interestingly, if I ditch the Feickert and ... | |
| Upgrading Cartridge - $1000 Soup'er Holiday Edition I like the ART9 on the G series Technics tables. I haven’t heard the others. it’s a great cart. Worth every penny. | |
| Help with Cartridge choice I would echo your instinct on the Audio Technica ART 9. I had one. Superb cartridge for the money. And, even if it was 2x the price it would be worth it. I cannot tell for sure but I think it is a decent match for that arm, but I've never been t... |
