I've been following this auction since almost from the beginning.  I thought the final bid would be around $5K, but it ended up selling for $5.8k.  The amps are works of art.  Wish I had the money to bid, but too rich for my blood.  Here's the link:

Yes I had a bid on it. I knew they would go for decent money as they should. Those brown transformers look super serious! Someone is going to be happy.

The winning bidder is from Australia.....

Well. Some of us are wealthier than others

Those look rather a lot like HK Citation II transformers.

I enjoyed reading the buyer questions. Some interesting technical responses, especially his explanation of AB, which reveals  some secrets about the design.  Check it out before the ad is finished and removed. I saved it as .mht file.

Those are some great looking amps! I did not recognize Bob at first until I read the description..

[pbrstreetgang]

They look bigger than Citation transformers to me

That is one sweat piece of iron Bob Carver has designed some nice stuff over the years.

Yeah, the questions and answers were my favorite part of the auction.  Carver lost me at times with some of his answers to questions.  But that's why he has a Ph.d in physics and I'm an idiot.  I'm ignorant with computers, so how do you save it as .mht file?

Did you see the two other auctions ?

Mr. Carver writes amazingly well for an engineer (for anybody, frankly)...part of the reason his companies (and designs) have fetched so much has been his ability to convey the emotion behind them, too 

An Engineer with a marketers heart...if only it were easy to be a Marketer with an Engineers brain

Thanks Chris for the links.  The auction with the winning bid at $3,750 was a steal.  I might have borrow some dough if I had known about that auction.

Thanks, it was my rental for about four years until I ran out of play money.

From what Chris linked us to, it appears Mr. Carver has sold a least 3 of these wonderful mono amps in the past few months.  He apparently has a large supply of vinatage stuff to be turning these out.  Am I reading that correctly?

I think you're right, he hinted about that talking about his craftsman builder working on other amps.

ltr317, when you have a webpage full of pictures and fancy formatting you can capture the whole thing in a container file, pictures, links and all. It is only one file and it will open exactly like the original which is actually a presentation of several files so is otherwise hard to save. Once you are on the page you wanna save, pull down File | Save As...  Then set "Save as type" to Web Archive, single file (.mht). It is handy sometimes when there is text, graphics and formatting that you wanna preserve as one file. It will open in a web-browser.

I tried saving the page with .mht suffix, but I keep getting an error that it can't be saved.  Any thoughts?

What browser are you using firefox saves it as a .php file rather than a mht file

[ltr317]

Hi Ed.  My laptop has the crappy MS windows browser.

It would be nice to see one of the winners post a review of the amp. I'd love to hear them paired with my transporter on various speakers.
