God bless you, Dan!! I wish that many more CEOs would follow this path - this country sorely needs to re-establish its manufacturing base.
And as for the name of this new entity, I've seen Carvertiva bandied about, but I'm thinking that Emotiver is the clear winner...

I suspect the brand names should and will be maintained under the Jade umbrella.

I suspect the brand names should and will be maintained under the Jade umbrella. That makes the most sense to me. Leverage Bob Carver's name. Someone as highly respected as him adds instant credence to the brand. |

Here is a link about Bob Carver's Electronics. www.carveraudio.com/I own a Carver The Receiver and like many had the Carver Cube because at the time it was the best value in Watts. I'm waiting for a Everything Carver thread. If anyone is going to come up with a game changer in todays world of electronics, Bob Carver is right there at the top of the list. |

Anybody remember the little BC gem. A friend of mine had one and it could do some pretty amazing noise reduction.  |

I'll be looking forward to the offerings. Now I'm thinking of building a listening room above the garage; the den is for the whole family, the basement for my wife and son, and then a room (not a man cave) for ME!

Then someone told me you could get rid of it and the battle began. Something like this would have been worth its weight in gold. Now with my Emotiva gear so dead quiet, I forgot all about noise. |

Now with my Emotiva gear so dead quiet, I forgot all about noise. The demo my friend would do was with "Lark's Tongues in Aspic" by King Crimson. This album had a lot of tape hiss as originally released. The unit removed almost all of it. |

This is very good news for me Bob Carver with Emotiva wow ! I owned a Carver M1.5t and a C-2 Pre amp back in the 80's, I loved that combo with some Polk Audio SDA-2's . Then in 2003 I owned a pair of Carver TFM-35's. With some Polk Audio RT1000p's and then some Polk Audio RTi12's.
I'm currently looking to purchase a tube integrated amp, and then the plan was to get a XPA-2 or a pair of XPA-1L's. This news puts everything on hold now. I plan to save some money each month and wait to see what Big Dan and Bob come up with. I'm very excited about this.

Here is one of his most impressive accomplishments. He made his much cheaper amplifier sound like an expensive tube design so much that stereophile did their best to to make it against his favor but in the end conceded that his amp sounded identical to a reference tube amp without reservations. They didn't reveal the name of the reference amp for fear of discrediting the high end manufacturer. His amp reproduced the sound to such an extent that after extended listening during the tweaking stage they found areas where bobs amp performed better and had to be tweaked to sound worse to make it identical sounding. ;D The reference amp was a conrad johnson amp which at that time cost over $10k (not adjusted for inflation). Bob's amp cost $700 and if I'm not wrong was a solid state and he made the modifications. He created 70db nulls (cancellations) between the amplifiers. Interesting because he said usually you could hope for 40 db nulls between channels of the same amplifiers. This is where 50 db nulls was about a 0.3% difference. The tweaj work was completed in just a few days with significant delays within the few days to his tweaks happening due to imperfections that weren't bobs fault (bad voltage for the room he was supplied, an insufficient variac provided by stereophile.) He completed this stuff while having injured his back lifting the reference amp. ;D ;D How many of us can claim to change the world of audio while injuring your back with insufficent equipment (variac) to start with? www.carveraudio.com/index.php/history/carver-corpA qoute on his sunfire line: "At first it was Zeus Audio, named after my puppy, but I received a letter from an attorney who said, "No, you can't name it Zeus because we represent an amplifier company and we have names like Hercules, Aphrodite, Apollo, and Zeus." I renamed the company Silvermane, and promptly got a letter from another attorney who wrote, "No, I represent the Marvel Comics Group and we have a Superhero called Silvermane." Silvermane was out. Enter Sunfire." |

So how far apart are Lexington and Franklin? Several states have a city named Lexington -- North Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi, etc. Which Lexington are you making reference to? The Lexington, TN city is a lot closer than any of the other State's cities named Lexington. It is about half way between Nashville and Memphis. |

This is very exciting news. I can't wait to see how this trickles down into the product lines.
