Bob Carver has another one on ebay, but this one is a little over the top:

LOOK AT THE TRANSFORMERS ON THOSE SUCKERS!!!:jawdrop:

 

[mywifespissed]

Just saw it. Master Carver hand wound the transformers personally, using solid silver wire for the secondaries. I bet these will go for 30K or more.

 

[markshan]

I don't think my AC service would handle 'em!

 

[thunderp]

tube amp and 900wrms together sounds funny.

451$ shipping to my house is a bit high, I'll pass.

325 pounds, amazing stuff.

I'll "watch" for now and pick it up for 100$ at a goodwill in my next life (or the one after that)

"...the output tubes should last 50 years. This amp has a lifetime guarantee. It's my life and as long as I'm alive I will fix it free. I'll replace the output tubes free if they should become defective, even if you drop the amp on them."

Custom Bob Carver hubris...but the guy can back it up!

Truly fascinating! Wonder how much it will go for?

I'd like to guess.... let's say... 35,000.01 (yes, won by a cent)

Bob Carver is an amazing designer. Not only a very talented and dignified man, you can tell how passionate he is and how much he cares by his replies to people. I hope I get to meet him someday and have a beer with him. The only person I see at his level is Ron Evans at McIntosh. Another great guy.

 

[Elroy]

I'm going to guess around $22,000.

You can meet him at CarverFest in the mountains of NC every year. Go to www.carveraudio.com for details (10-20 Sep this year). I spent several days with him there in 2008; he's a GREAT PERSON.

I'm headed back again this Sep for 5 days~

$20,100.20 & 5 days left on the auction.....

 

[Elroy]

Boy was I wrong! :stupid: 12 hours left and its at $31,800.00!

I'm going to meet Mr. Carver in a couple of weeks. He invited me to his friends house for a listening session. Can't wait. He insists I bring some of my own gear to play with. I told him I only have average vintage tube stuff, he didn't seem to mind. Seems like a heck of a mench.

SO....how was it?

PT Barnum's old saying certainly applies here. :scratch2:

Wow - Carver sure comes up with some awesome amps.

 

[mywifespissed]

SO....how was it?

I will gush about my visit when and if it happens. I expect he talks with SO many people, little old me might just slip through the cracks...
