In Reply to: REVIEW: Carver Professional ZR1600 Amplifier (SS) posted by JCC on June 3, 2004 at 10:11:54:
helloI agree with Abe. for $2500 you can get the older 200.4 belcanto and bridge mono it. I think the belcanto looks a whole lot better, build quality incomparable, and it has trans. warranty.
in terms of sonics of the modded carver, i don't know if it's better than the belcanto. although it uses better parts, the principle design is the same and the evo is no slouch. the mods seems like pretty standard upgrades.carver is nothing new, class-t technology has been out out for sometime now. i own the evo200.2, a pair of carver zr500 and used to own a diy tripath amp couple of years ago. the diy is the best amp I've heard to date. the carver is very good for what it costs, but with the cost of the mods its competition is very stiff.
I think people should listen to the current digital amps built by the audiophile companies to get an idea where carver fit in terms of cost and performance compare to other designs.
