| Opinions on Sunfire Amps Yikes!!! No offense, but with the many positive reviews that Sunfire amps have gotten from many people, including well regarded reviewers, I have to question your opinion.I personally have owned Carver equipment in the past and although they have ... | |
| Worthwhile $5 Tweak Correct!!! It was a tubed preamp.If and whenever there is a resolution to this saga (horror story) I will be sure to post the results, along with the preamp information. | |
| Worthwhile $5 Tweak I forgot to mention:I am getting this information second-hand from my friend. Unfortunately, he has been told that he cannot make mention of the manufacture's name until this is resolved. It appears that there is more here than meets the eye.I men... | |
| Worthwhile $5 Tweak Just FYI:About two years ago, a audiophile friend of mine found that his preamp also sounded better with the ground lifted. He proceeded to remove the ground plug by inserting a plug with a pigtail between the preamp plug and the AC plug. While he... | |
| Professional Calibration Question Calibrating a room by ear IMO is almost impossible. You might be able to get reasonable results from an experienced installer with program material that he recognizes well however, you might ask yourself, if he is a professional installer, why doe... | |
| Any Levinson owners/critics out there? I can only say that I have regreted the day I sold my ML gear years ago. I find that they are one of a few manufacturers that have produced exceptional sounding gear.One day, when I hit the big one, I will again own ML equipment.Along with ML I co... | |
| BGW Amps? BGW is still around today folks! You can find them at:www.bgw.comI can't vouche for their new amps, but back in the day (70's) their amps were quite durable and reliable. As for their sonic attributes, well, I would think that maybe they were bett... | |
| Carver Power Amps For those of you that still feel that Bob Carver is just another Joe as far as audio design goes, well here it is, from one of the most famous amplifier designers of all time, James Bongiorno:A few words about the designer, James Bongiorno, and hi... | |
| Review: Carver Amazing Speaker I have a pair of the Carver Amazing Platinum Mark IV speakers. I can say that since I purchased them new sometime in the mid to later 90's I have not had desire to replace them. As it has already been stated, these speakers can sound incredible wh... | |
| Carver Power Amps There has been lots of innuendo about individuals qualifications to making claims or statements that are ludicrous and ignorant. Just for the record I am interested in the background of some of the individuals making such critical comments. I will... | |
| Carver Power Amps Gmoodl, I agree with you 100%. It's all about the music, not the electronics.As far as Carver being a 'second class designer', I hate to bring this up, but Bob Carver has probably come up with more inovative designs than any of the high end audio ... | |
| Carver Power Amps If the comment about, "at the same time that same poster has more money invested in EQ's and sound shaping equipment than proabaly the rest of the BB combined" was directed towards me, please note that I never stated what I use or how much I spent... | |
| Carver Power Amps I have had the Carver Silver 9t amps (550 w/ch) for about 10 years. I have also previously owned amps from companies like Audio Research, McIntosh, B&K, Adcom, Dynaco, Phase Linear, BGW, GAS, Tandberg, Carver, Krell (possibly one of the worse ... | |
| Gilmore Audio planars revealed I just thought I would write down my personal experiences since I currently own a pair of Carver Amazing Platinum IV speakers (whew! that's a mouth full).I have owned my Carvers since the latter 90's (about 1996-7), I can't really remember and hav... | |
