Hopefully this is in reaction to the poor build quality of the Crimson 275 which was farmed out to Wyred 4 Sound/Glass Audio. This was revealed in a previous thread in which the OP discovered a PCB glued in place, fuse improperly located, and poor grounding scheme. I’ll bet there were others who complained to Carver about this.

We were told that Bob is semi-retired, I agree with @jasonbourne52 that Bob didn’t want this to be his legacy. He needed to take back control of his product. I hope all these 275 amps are recalled and repaired. I'm a Bob fan and I know he always stood behind his products, especially in later years.

@oddiofyl , I get your point. But there must be someone in charge of production who decided to mount PCBs with glue instead of bolting them to the chassis.

OTOH, wiring the fuse to the wrong circuit sounds like shoddy workmanship to me. I realise this manufacturing may not even be at a Wyred 4 Sound facility.

Bob has a history of working with tubes. I guess his bread and butter was building SS.
