Carver Crimson 275 Review (Tube Amp)

[DFW]

You really are an apologist.. It's sad.

Seeking facts and understanding is not defending it. Get ahold of yourself.

I don’t know weather it is or not. While I appreciate all the information presented out here I’m just asking if there are any known electrocutions.

My assumption would be, if they were electrocuted in the home with this amp and hospitalized it may have been reported, if not hospitalized I am sure they are too embarrassed to report it.

More than likely 99% of the owners have no idea how this amp is fused.

Ohms

400 deaths and 4000 injuries annually from electrocution (USA alone). Some of those will be due to faulty equipment.

All the transformers were bigger and more expenisive (James, Electro Print, Tango) so I know that more wattage output the bigger the OPT, but I want to hear how his are ok to use and them being only15 watts.

They aren't! Bob Carver does not possess secret forbidden knowledge to make 15W transformers function as if they are 75W transformers, it's physics, it will not work. As was said before, it is an indefensible position, most likely the reason he is not defending it.

Some people seem to be incapable of intellectually comprehending that lessons learned from the knowledge of physics plus experiences with various electronic devices can be logically applied to other electronic devices.

I, for one, am happy that my tube amplifier with it's 230v mains voltage and 450v plate voltage is certified to meet EU safety standards - even though I live in Panama.

There are signs at every refueling station to not smoke while refueling. There are also emergency cut-offs with appropriate signage. So ..... do you know of any fires or explosions? If the answer is, "No!", would you care to take a lit Zippo and visit the nearest gas station?

Somehow, I doubt that you would. I may be wrong, though.

You have also stated several times that you "don't know" this or you "don't know" that. Please educate yourself to the extent that you are familiar with the basics and fundamentals of electrical safety and electronic functions. It doesn't take very much. It would greatly improve your ability to converse here without any semblance of trolling or bad-faith interaction. Jim

So does anyone know of someone actually being electrocuted by this thing?

Electrocutions leading to death (non suicide) by consumer products are extremely rare.

and trending down (2004-2013) source (https://www.cpsc.gov/s3fs-public/Electrocution-Report-2004-to-2013.pdf)

thanks to... safety codes and standards.

There are more electrocutions in the workplace, obviously, which leads to the number @tonycollinet quoted above.

One thing to take into account is the risk of fire of electrical origin, which is around 300x to 400x more frequent than the risk of direct death by electrocution - should you die into a fire caused by a device shorting while you sleep, your ICD codes will be "fire" (https://www.icd10data.com/ICD10CM/Codes/V00-Y99/X00-X08)

This risk has also been going down (thanks to safety measures) but climbed back when our modern batteries started to be everywhere (which led to new safety measures).

Whether we know, or don't know, or whether there actually was someone killed by that amplifier (extremely unlikely) is irrelevant. What is relevant is that ignoring safety measures is either illegal (depending on your location) or highly unethical.

I don't know of anyone electrocuted by this amp ... and thankfully so ... otherwise any fix would be too late.

 

[DFW]

I want to be very clear, I am not defending this product and no offense to all the EE’s out here. But if there is the possibility of being electrocuted because of the way it’s designed don’t you think they’d recall it or do whatever they could to limit the liability? The liability from this sort of thing is unlimited. Might even be criminal if someone were killed and the company knew it had faulty wiring.

Do you know any Olympic athletes?

 

[SIY]

Liability is whatever can be extracted from a shell corporation. These guys may be incompetent at producing amplifiers, but I'll guess they're very smart on how to shield their assets.

 

[Laserjock]

Are you the same Paul from Bottlehead Audio?

That’s Mr dickhead to you…

 

[BDWoody]

That’s Mr dickhead to you…

Wait, then who is Bottledick?

Wait, then who is Bottledick?

Dr. Five Gallon Jug, if you please.

Lol, I got the name wrong? That’s even funnier

Yeah, but killing someone could take it to another level. They’ve been making amplifiers long enough to know how to not electrocute someone.

That was from that very special representative here to wave his arms mightily...

Looks like it was directed at another...member.

Listen to it? Why do that? Audio Science Review is about sine waves and powering resistors, not music powering loudspeakers. If its cheap and built to test good, its golden, no need to be musical. Audio reviews without listening. If you don't actually listen to an audio product in a review...

But not long enough not to allow a metal screw to be rolling about inside.

Apparently not. The proof is in this model.

I was electrocuted and so was my wife... in the kitchen.
