In this case it was a Carver 1.0 amp made to emulate a pair of CJ Premier 5 mono tube amps.

These are super smart people. I pulled out my carver 7 t last night hooked up to jbl 1000 beryllium horns speaker still going strong after all these years. Just recapped my pt 2400 dead silent. Have recapped several 760x great amp. My 7401 is in one of my surround systems recapped again. The sunfire 600 x 2 was reviewed close to krell. Long live bob.hope to meet him some day. Enjoy the music
