| My Audio Research experience I promised myself I would not reply to clearthink as there's no point in it. Still, he is preading false stories. I objected that. To set the record straight: Marantz is not around. It's only Marantz in name only. There is no Marantz factory. Sinc... | |
| My Audio Research experience Anthony,I will do all I can to stand behind the product. My concern is the shipping costs from Australia. How would it be if I asked Bob what the amp needs to get back to normal operation? While I'm not familiar with tube-type Bob Carver amplifier... | |
| My Audio Research experience This will be my last post on this topic. As I stated above, clearthink will never admit to any positive aspects of Bob's career in terms of standing behind a product. This validates, as I stated clearly above, his own incorrect opinion. Anyone wit... | |
| My Audio Research experience Dear clearthink,While you think it's "so funny", I take it as being pretty close to a personal attack on my integrity. Perhaps our forum members should ignore everything I wrote. From my perspective, you are misinformed. More on this in a moment.L... | |
| My Audio Research experience I've been watching this thread with considerable head-shaking. I too, loved the performance of my ARC gear but like a Lotus, it required regular service and fresh tubes. Frankly, it's no longer necessary to buy unreliable cars to enjoy extremely h... | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs Joe, I remember going to my college library to read the reviews in the magazines I could not afford--hour after hour (ca. 1968). I also remember the transition from tubes to solid state in 1964 or so. the SS stuff had far better specs but I was b... | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs Yes, Taters, it was Dave's place. Good call. Bob was not supposed to pick dealers. As CEO, that's my job. I inherited the account. Now, I'm glad I did. I've come to respect David for his absolute dedication to providing his clients with the best a... | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs I may have been wrong about the outboard boxes. Might be two. Just sent a note to Bob to clarify--the result of my being in the Chicago area and Bob being in Washington state. I'll be back. | |
| $15,000 Speaker Does Not List Freq Response Specs Ok. Enough speculation: 1) The system consists of four components--two triangular-section 90" aluminum tube cabinets, one dual-driver (powerful) sub and an outboard amp/crossover. 2) The introductory demo was hosted by a high-end dealer who did in... | |
| Carver ALS Speakers I'm setting up distribution now. There are two dealers already and more coming on board as soon as we ramp up production. The first two batches are sold out. We finally start shipping in around a week or so. For a review, see Absolute Sound on lin... | |
| Bob Carver Amazing Line Source speakers The ALS starts shipping in a week or so. Each tower has 12 tweeters plus one super tweeter facing forward. Since the "cabinet" is a triangular aluminum tube, the 22 4" mid bass drivers are facing the wrong way! That's 11 per side on the two backsi... | |
| Starting small home theater, need advice Realremo is right. Why complicate things by buying a used receiver? Unlike Realremo, I've not spent thousands on used equipment. Instead, I'm an audio industry veteran who has repped for and consulted for dozens of manufacturers. From Kenwood to S... | |
| tube preamp in SS receiver loop This is very simple. Your Marantz has a mediocre preamp--at best. Furthermore, the tape ins and outs are buffered and will swamp the advantage of an additional tube buffer to a significant degree. They guy that said keep it simple is correct. Buy ... |
