    Default Carver Amazing Platinum Stereophile review

    I have the orignal copy of Stereophile with this review but it is now in the online archives. Interesting read for Carver buff's.....

    I ALWAYS use an ass-gasket. Never hover because of splash down and back splatter. I also float landing pad made from TP for a soft landing to avoid the above. One can never be too cautious when dealing with the general public. - RonP

    That's the legendary Silver Seven tube amp. THAT is a man's amp.

    I think it's interesting, moreso in the stereophile review of the Carver Silver 7 solid state amps, but I detect a pretty strong preconceived bias on the part of the reviewer against Carver....

    I think it has something to do with the gear not requiring a 2nd mortgage, therefore not being worthy...
