This is great news!

I'm ready to see pictures of the concept.

6DJ8 is great. It's what's in the 390T and the 490T.

Bob Carver creations work. With the vinyl craze still in full effect, the Autocorrelator needs to be back on the market. People are buying Sweet Vinyl’s SugarCube SC-1 Real Time Pop and Click Remover. Check the prices on those machines. Also, check the prices on the Autocorrelators on Ebay. What was once a $99 Buy It Now is now several hundred. Add in the cost of a refurbishing and shipping, and you have close to a grand in a 45 year old machine. Digital Time Lens, with all this streaming, needs to be back on the market. Everyone is streaming. Everyone is doing digital. I don't understand the science behind DTL/Soft EQ, but all I know is what my ears hear. I hear a three dimension soundstage unlike anything I've heard before when using it with my Crimson 275 amplifiers. Make a tube DAC with DTL and I'll be first in line. There is no greater brain in the game than Bob Carver.

I'm at the point where I do not want to hear digital - CD or streaming, without the Time Lens. I have both a 490T and the external DTL, so I can use the external processor loop to engage the standalone DTL unit when using my Oppo.

Another vote for Peak Unlimiter and Digital Time Lens. There is scant information about both inventions, but both work amazingly well. I use them daily. Also in heavy use is the Autocorrelator. Make a box with as many of Bob's creations as possible.

That will do the trick.

Welcome! Don't listen to the internet noise about Bob Carver.

Welcome to the board. I will suggest getting that amp recapped before hard use.

Welcome. I suggest a Carver C-1 preamp.

Very interesting. Thanks for this information.

What are you listening to? I hope it's good music.

Welcome to the forum! Do you have pictures of the preamps? Chris

That Zero Stat gun meant you were serious about records.

He's always made great power amplifiers. In our collection we have Phase Linear 400, TFM6c, TFM15cb, TFM35, and now Crimson 275. They all sound fantastic. The little 6 is a real sleeper - it's matched to a pair of late 1960s Coral speakers. A 70s pressing of Abbey Road sounded great through this system.

Jim, I found it to be suspicious that the guy running the Bob-bashing site promotes his friend who makes tube amps. It was after reading every single page of that thread that I reached out to you to purchase the 275 a few months ago. We spent a few hours listening to CDs through the 275 today. Sunfire TGIV restored by Flannery. Paradigm 9seMk3 speakers. Marantz CD-6000ose. We don't have hardware to measure readings, but we do have ears. And our ears told us it's the best sounding system we've ever heard. Chris

Welcome aboard! I too live in Philly. Chris

@BobTFM35 The Carver C-4000 we share is #0639. It is one of the earliest examples around. It has the Peak Unlimiter option. It seems the 4000t did away with that. I use that 100% of the time with vinyl, cassette and cd listening. It's like a dynamic range expander of sorts. I like it. Another benefit of #0639 is that is has Holographic Listening Angle adjustments, which I haven't got around to testing just yet but I'm looking forward to doing so. My vote is for the earlier C-4000!

Hello everyone. I received the plate amp on Tuesday. After installing and testing it, I can say that it might be the best thing I've ever done for my stereo room. I tested it with the Beatles, Stones, Mingus, Brubeck, Neil Young and Crazy Horse and Izzy Stradlin. Everything sounded great. I thought Paul McCartney and Charles Mingus were in the room with me. It was fantastic. The active and passive woofers work well. No tears or damage. I noticed that my power amps are no longer getting warm - I assume the subwoofer is taking the heat out of them. I'm waiting on some cables to arrive for final install. Pics of the plate will be added soon. They are on my Kindle.

Thanks! The plate amp is out getting tuned up. I'll photograph it upon arrival.

Here's the newly painted cabinet.

Thanks. I will check that out.
