Carver Silver 7t's


WOW! WOW! and WOW!

I have listened to several amplifiers in my 6 years of this passion and I must say, for a solid state amp, the 7t's are dynamite! At about 16 pounds, these little babies kick out 585W @ 8 ohms, some ridiculous amount with the speakers I am running!

I have owned and listened to several amplifiers from McIntosh MC-300, MC-352, and MC-500, to Citation 7.1, Krell KSA-250, Plinius 250III, BAT VK-500, PSE Studio V's, and I must say I do put the 7t's right up there with the best of these!

I am using a Runco LJR for my CD and believe it or not, the Chiro C-800 as my preamp all through the B&W 801II (for what it is worth, I prefer the II to the III).

The 7t's are VERY warm, open, and a HUGE soundstage. I am not sure how this amplifier functions so well, but it is very light and has incredible power, quick, and very accurate and truly raises the stage!

Anyone else have these impressions or have I listened to the music too long and too loud, now heading towards deafness?

The amps that he chose to emulate were C-J tube amps if i remember correctly. The "T" stands for "Transfer function", as that is what he was trying to duplicate i.e. the overall performance or "transfer function" of the amp in question.

In order to prove that he had achieved this, he set up what is commonly known as a "null circuit". If any differences between the two circuits existed, the difference would be reproduced by the speakers connected to it. From what i can remember, his amps with the "T mod" passed the tests with flying colors. Sean
