| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jea48 , it makes total safety sense that proper grounding would require a mechanical connection--not just a solder connection--because that wire to the chassis could still come lose. I think I get it. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jea48 , THANK YOU for the education. Seriously. Note: the photo above is from AudioScienceReview.com. My amp is built a bit better than this one, which is also odd and slightly disturbing. But, the lack of ground on the IEC and grounding... | |

| Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier @mulveling , what you say makes total sense. Thank you. I've enjoyed your posts recently. Also, I was using the 275 with 102dB efficient loudspeakers, which could make it difficult for me to detect the available runway. | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? @coachpoconnor , HA! Yes, the Node was my gateway into quality streaming. It's not hard to best it, and it can mate well with a bona fide stand alone DAC. I built an Intel NUC Roon Rock endpoint--just followed Roon's directions. And it was a hu... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @wfarrell, Bill, you are welcome. I debated posting something at all on the issue. Then I thought--you know, even though it would probably be unlikely that a wire would come lose from its solder weld, it’s possible. Not to mention that the build q... | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? Great responses. @coachpoconnor , the Pass XA25 needs to be in the system at some point. I have a black Blusound Node 2i that I only used for about 6 months before I built a Roon NUC Rock endpoint. I don't have the box. PM me if you want to b... | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @jea48, You certainly have more knowledge and expertise than I do. If I get motivated today, I could open the unit again and post phots of the grounding scheme. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock You bet @jjss49 I’m hoping, but not optimistic, there is an explanation for this situation that explains away the potential problem. Time to unplug and let this unfold. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @daveyf , Yes, and I have read books that cover the subject. Most authors are very serious about this and seem to say what you say here--that many designers get it wrong. Bob Carver has a PhD in physics so maybe he can explain how it is safe. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @erik_squires , I found it out by looking at it--literally opening the unit up. Also, the folks at AudioScienceReview.com saw it too. To be honest, I wasn't quite sure upon initial discovery whether the grounding scheme had some other means of... | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? @blkwrxwgn , AGREED. Maybe I'm in the mid-January doldrums up here in gray Chicago, but I'm growing tired of the drop in posts that are all over the place. | |
| Owners of Carver Crimson 275 -Caution/Warning--Potential Increased Risk of Electric Shock @lowrider -Interesting. I’m not an expert but, at minimum, I would like to see that all of those power hook up connections were totally insulated so in the event one of them came loose they would be shielded from conducting with anything by the i... | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? Thanks @mijostyn . I have never heard the JC1 and really want to. Thank you! Atmas-phere is on my list to try with these someday too, PS. I have always admired your media room and your woodworking skills. :) | |
| Anyone pairing Cornwall IVs with solid state amplification to good results? Ozzy62, how does your Allnic sound with your La Scales? --Sorry if off topic. :) |
