** Yep, a PM1400 " magnetic field " job.

Tip from an expert:
Be very wary of any amplifier that has speaker maker's name on it.

Bose, JBL, AR, Renkus-Heinz, EV, Altec ......

I was thinking about a different amp entirely, which was internally
Carvin - not Carver.

This says Bose on the PCBs - I wounder what the Carver one says.


**Err - it says "CARVER"

https://audiokarma.org/forums/index....oes-on.776885/


It is
a 'straightish' Class AB power amp with a touch where DC rails are
monitored and a triac momentarily switches in an extra section of mains
transformer primary if they dip.


** Bit like the Carver then.



You conveniently snipped the "Nothing to do with Carver's sonic
holography magnetic field amp mumbo-jumbo, unless that's all it is ...."
from my post, eh Phil.


** Yep - cos it had SFA to do with the topics or Carver amplifiers.


Actually Class G or H apparently. And apparently the little mains kick
*is* all the 'magnetic field' mumbo-jumbo was about.


** It was a lot more in Carver amps.

The transformer based PSU was voltage regulating with up to 8 DC rails.

And the 'sonic hologram' was something else entirely.



** A big, smelly red fish.
