| Carver Power Amps Paulwp: I dont think anyone here was trashing it to begin with. But the ORIGINAL THREAD STARTER asked a question about why the amp sounded weak and thin. Myself and a few others who have actual experience with Carver amps gave honest opinions. Or ... | |
| Carver Power Amps Danvetc: "typical audiophile bullshit". Typical audiophile bullshit is in fact a company like Carver. They are almost soley responsible for leading the pack on false advertising,super point markup and "power ratings". When I used to work for Lechm... | |
| Adcom GFP-750 Modfication Question Black Gate caps give a warm liquidy feel to the midrange from the research Ive done and heard. Downside is break-in time. The consensus is it takes about 500-1000 hours for break-in. $150 may be worth the price if you use the Active Stage. I never... | |
| Carver Power Amps I dont think its a matter of power amplifiers having a problem with low frequency reproduction, its a matter of low impedance fluctuations with lf drivers that are relatively inneficient compared to their hf counterparts. Most full range speakers ... | |
| Carver Power Amps One flaw Ive found is their output wattage rating. They rate their output using the lame IHF dynamic power rating. Basically their telling you what it can output with a 1khz test tone for a millisecond. 380 watts at the IHF rating could very well ... | |
| Carver Power Amps The Carver is also a limited bandwidth amplifer too if Im correct. I doubt it could put out real world reactive loads of sustained wattage of even a quarter of its rated power. | |
| Adcom GFP-750 Modfication Question SUrprisingly Id be interested in what mods he actually does. I cant believe he does any mods to the passive circuit which is almost perfect to begin with. DOes he mess with the active stage? Sound deaded? Whats he charge?Give some details. Website... | |
| Parasound JC-1 with B&W Nautilus speakers? People need to realize that just because an amp has a $20k sticker tag doesnt mean its going to sound any better. Completely the farthest thing from the truth. When I demo'd the JC-1's I also had on hand a pair of Bryston 7B ST's, Aragon Palladium... | |
| Amplifier recommendations for Adcom/Paradigm Ref. I owned all 3 of those amps in 2000. And all 3 are great amplifiers for the money, especially used. All 3 accept balanced inputs too which is great. My personal choice would probably be the Parasound amplifier. It needs to be kept on permanently a... | |
| Parasound JC-1 with B&W Nautilus speakers? Ive heard em well broken in(running straight at the dealership for over 2 months 24/7 and at my place for another week on demo), they are still forward and in your face like all Halo/Parasound amps with a warmer sounding midrange and top end basic... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 Gmood1: I take it your running Paradigm Reference series 100 floorstanders?? If you think those speakers are bright sounding, add some room treatments. Paradigm's can actually be very mellow and smooth sounding if you take care of all the first re... | |
| Parasound JC-1 with B&W Nautilus speakers? One thing you may not like about the JC-1's is their slightly forward in your face presentation. I auditioned em when I was looking for a pair of high quality monoblocks a few months back, definetly a great amp, much smoother than the old HCA3500(... | |
| Aragon 4004 mk2 vs Adcom 555 mk2 I wouldnt compare a basic adcom amp with an Aragon. But the GFA5802 is regardless of price a great amplifier. Nelson Pass designed the GFP-750 preamp, but the GCD-750 cd player and the GFA5802 I dont think he can take credit for. | |
| Which basic amps can drive 1 ohm loads ? Muralman: You are 100% correct. THe X600 Passlabs monoblocks do have 4000kVA toroidals. But unless these monoblocks are running on 230 volts, its useless. If the X600's are running on 110 household current, its not going to matter if its a 2000kVA... | |
| Speakers to hang on to for LIFE Ill be keeping my Revel Salon's permanently. I also have a pair of Martin Logan Prodigies too, but these will be swapped out in due time, as they pull "elevator music"(non critical listening) duties at night. |
