| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock OTOH, could it be possible that the amp discussed on the ASR forum is in fact a fake?? Or that the issues about safety are not in fact part of the design at all...and are not a factor...?? Only real way to know is for Carver, or one of his employe... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Reading the article posted on ASR would indicate that this amp is really a POS..particularly for the money asked… But it would be more acceptable if it was advertised as a 15 watt amp with a design by Carver at a more appropriate price to its qua... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jbhiller So Bob offers a full refund to consumers of his product. This seems quite strange to me..as IF there is a safety hazard should he not be requiring all units in the field be recalled and corrected?? If there is no issue, why offer a ref... | |
| dumb down an LP-12 Nice choice of table. Unfortunately, in order to get the best out of your Linn, it needs to be set up correctly. This table is not an unbox it and drop it in solution. I would suggest that you find a Linn dealer who can set up the table for you.... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @raysmtb1 What Bob did to deserve the attention is apparently exactly what he failed to do...oversee a product that has his name on it and could very well prove to be deadly to the consumer. This has not happened so far, at least that we are awar... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Perhaps in the electronics industry there is a thinking that so long as no harm has occurred then no foul. This is common ( unbelievably enough) in a number of industries and occupations...and only luck has caused no immense damage, or death! Path... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock Jeez, in this day and age one has to seriously question why electronics manufacturers/designers of any type of gear ( nevemind amps!) can’t get simple grounding correct...!! This seems to be an ongoing and common problem. | |
| Bi-Wire When I discussed this with their rep a few years back, I was told that they now believe that bi-wiring leads to phase distortion. Whether this is in fact correct, I do not know...BUT I certainly do NOT have that issue with my bi-wire Nordost set u... | |
| I'm confused - Different music...different speakers? The OP brings up a very good point. Why do some types of music sound great on our systems and others, not so much? I think one of the detriments of high end audio is that as one's system becomes more and more resolving, the ability to enjoy marg... | |
| Does anyone manufacture an alternative Linn Sondek belt pulley ? @zavato +1 | |
| Does anyone manufacture an alternative Linn Sondek belt pulley ? @dover And you still wouldn't have the capability of competing with a full spec LP12 Klimax...that should tell you something. | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @decooney Intersting point. I tend to agree that ic's can make or break your system, depending on a number of variables. Your findings above do not actually jive with mine, as I am very impressed with a pair of OCC Ohno Continuous ic's with my K... | |
| KT150 to KT120..or KT120 to KT150 @vinylvalet Do report back once you receive and have run in your new Zesto amp. I am particularly curious as to the difference between the KT150's and the new KT170's. I would expect the amp to be basically idling when driving your Fyne's...with... | |
| Lyra Delos or Hana ML One thing about Benz cartridges that should be pointed out...their support network seems to change frequently...as in it occasionally seems to disappear. ( at least it did here in the US). The main reason I opted for my Lyra at the time was that m... | |
| Lyra Delos or Hana ML @thom_at_galibier_design Great article! I have been saying for years precisely what you pointed out about incorrect or sloppy set up with Lyra cartridges, mostly to deaf ears! Get it right and you are rewarded with excellent top end extension, a... |
