Up for sale is an excellent condition mk2 ready with option 2 upgrade Carver M1.0t power amp. Bought and installed the customized face plate (as you can see in the pics) with the MK2 logo ($100) that makes this amp shine. Amp has lots of power and can drive any speaker you throw to this amp. The sound on this amp has the tube amp-like sonic quality to it, and was transfer functioned by Bob himself from a Conrad Johnson tube amp and this is the result of that feat. If you are familiar with this amp, I am very sure you know the excellent sound quality of this amp. This amp was restored by Nelion Audio who is the best of restoring these amps.

Addition of a complimentary transistor and network (red) counteracts this drift, and maintains the bias set point. As a result, heatsink temperatures are reduced by 10 degrees F. Fulcrum-bias.png M-1.0t MARK II Manual Addendum The M-1.0t has to be one of the most under-rated amplifiers of all time. It's rumored that this was done to fit the m-1.0t in the model line (0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 4.0). It's also suggested that it was rated at 200W to match the Conrad Johnson Premier V rating (the $12,000 tube amplifier it was transfer function modified to sound like). This is the amp that won the famous Stereophile Magazine Carver Amp challenge.
