Carvergroupie here, Thanks for your warm welcome back! 😇 Please let me know if my emogies are a bit too Grandpa… it’s because I am a Grandpa now. So, before I was rudely interrupted by the “stuff of life”: many moons ago I spoke with a really nice lady at Carver (maybe Sunfire by then, fuzzy memory) who then went into a hot attic upstairs at Carver/Sunfire and found a wiring mod diagram she remembered that is supposed to separate the inputs to the ribbons from the woofers on my apparently very early Amazing Platinums. She mailed me a copy then. But I never got a chance to implement the mod. Now that I am retired and my 3 kids are gone and busy making grandkids, 4 so far, 2 on the way… It is time to try biamping as I routinely blow fuses at the speakers and once at the 5A amp. Haven’t tried the 6A amp yet… (A great friend once told me great loudspeakers don’t sound loud, you just can’t hear each other comment on the music until a fuse blows 😇.) Question 1: What is the best way to implement the 5A and 6A amps to mitigate fuse blowing in the Platinums and amps and best enjoy the music; Question 2: Is it true the 5A and 6A amps are the same with the fuse size increased later in production to reduce nuisance blows? Question 3: Anyone know of the above mentioned speaker mod to split the inputs: how safe is it; and does it adversely affect the music? Look forward to hanging out with all of you! As Jimi Hendrix once said: “It’s All Freedom” 😇🥰🎶🎶🎶🥰😇 Cheers! Carvergroupie

Greetings fellow Carver Groupies! I am back with you after falling the Carver Forum wagon many moons ago (90s, early 2000s). I was Carvergroupie then also as I remember the 60s (my friends’ older siblings are the ones who don’t 😇). My Gear: Preamp: C-1 Amp 1: Signature Series II 625 wpc 5A output fuses. Amp 2: Signature Series II 625 wpc 6A output fuses. Speakers: Amazing Loudspeakers Platinum Edition (pre-separated inputs for ribbons and woofers) …have to finish later…sorry…
