Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier
funky54: exactly. Several of our forum mates now find themselves in a very uncomfortable position & empathy for them is the order of the day.    
Peeking inside a Carver Crimson 275 Tube Amplifier
I posted this on the Klipsch forum and I think its holds true here as well: At the end of the day, I have yet to see anyone on any forum say the amp does not sound fantastic. While it's tough to see what may have happened, isn't that why we do wh...
