My brother has a M1.5t and a TFM-55. They have both been restored and are killer amplifiers. Will you be doing a comparison review between the M1.0t and the UPA-1's? I would be very interested in your thoughts. Same here. |

Imo Bob Carver never got the respect he deserves from the audio world. He was/is a real audio genius.

Will you be doing a comparison review between the M1.0t and the UPA-1's? I would be very interested in your thoughts. By the way, you've got a very nice looking system. Thanks man  I wasn't going to but now that you mention it. I've notice the 1.0 has a little bit of a warm sound. I believe Bob Carver did this on purpose |

My Dad knew him very well in the 70's. I love hearing the stories about Bob, and his wacky, but wonderful sounding designs. I think Bob never got the respect he deserved, because he didn't "play by the rules". A true genius he was.

Man, I always wanted one of those Phase Linear 400's with those big meters on the front. But alas, all I could afford was a Sansui integrated amp.

I bought a used Carver M 1.5 t a few months ago. It plays perfectly and sounds wonderful. So good in fact I kept it over an Adcom 555.

I've told my brother on numerous occasions that it is the amp that just keeps on giving. It never seems to run out of power. |

I love the naked look on Emo gear. Congrats on the ERC-1. I am dying to hear one of these... Speaking of naked Emo gear, what is the screw head type for the trim pieces? I am not much of a mechanic and I do not want to use the incorrect thing and strip the heads on mine. I just removed the trim on my new UPA-1's last night. You can easily remove them with a 3mm hex key. |

And like Rich ( DoingOK, a very nice gentleman, member here at the Lounge) did with his Emo gear; or you can have some great looking wood trims made for your Emo gear, or make them yourself.   |
