Dracule1..for the record, you state "In the end Bob did not have control over the bean counter's who wanted to maximize profits" is completely false. Heres the facts. Bob Carver went into equal partnership in the 90's with Jim Kropf, co-founder an...

One track mind? No way. I was harsh on Bob's current tube amps that appears to be a very good quality product. But here are the objective historical facts on Bob's company back in the 80's and 90's in Lynnwood, WA. I was a former member of the Was...

Who cares about his new amps. Bob Carver made his living as a flim flam man during the past forty years. I can't believe that he is referred to as a legend. Yeah, right..a legend in his own mind. And what has Bob provided to the Audio industry in ...

Lack of audio knowledge? Baloney. Bob Carver made his career on glorified hype with his magnetic field amp which was nothing more than a large modified block transformer. Sonic Holography? More hype. Nothing more than a phase delay circuit to crea...

So one has to wait forty years to get a decent product from Bob Carver? I bought a Carver system in 1989 from Magnolia Hi-Fi in Seattle. Within six months the detent ring in the volume knob jammed and locked up in the Preamp and the Carver CD play... 
Parasound P5
Paul at Parasound recently informed me the P-5 has been pushed back from June to September for release due to a bug that has been corrected for production and the price is still set at $1500.00. If the P-5 performs as good as their previous flagsh... 
Coda 7X
Tobb..The new Pre on the CODA site that is "coming soon" is the 7R which is the model listed. When I spoke to Doug last November he mentioned that the 7R will be two versions for the U.S. market, the option with or without a separate power supply ...

Best rock bass player
Jack Bruce. Period. His bass playing on the live track "Spoonful" from Cream's "Wheels of Fire" album recorded in early 1968 in San Francisco is the very best bass performance ever from a rock band in the 20th Century. Can't touch it. A monumental...

As I indicated in another thread, I have lived in Carver country most of my life in Seattle. The name "Carver" has a very catchy iconic sound to it like Bose which is why people bow down to Carver. He started Phase Linear in 1968 then Carver in 19...
