Post by: Magnaryder on December 14, 2017, 03:05:44 PM: I've missed....none. Been to every one. Bob is one of the great gentlemen of audio. Not to be missed by audio fans. This is the premier audio event anywhere. Where else can you build a one off tube amp under the tutelage of a master?

Great time is had by all, what a great extended family.

e have build some nice things at Carverfest, a 20 wpc tubed power amp and a Lucas tubed line stage (preamp)

My fist Carverfest was for 2 days, now I manage to stay for 6/7 days.

So do not wary that you can not make the whole 2 weeks, just make sure that you make it for a couple of days or more, you will enjoy your time there.

The 275 has gotten great reviews and is a stellar addition to any rig. Ive been rolling tubes and I gotta tell you it's within spittin' distance of the mighty V20. Powerful, accurate and holographic as hell.
