Description
This Carver creation is in excellent all round condition. Recently removed main caps and tested without issue. This amp is super quiet on all five 200 watt RMS channels. This item is heavy. It will be well packed and shipping to contiguous States will be in the region of $75 to $100. Buyer will pay actual shipping...no more no less. Local pick up in Raleigh NC is available.The Theater Grand TGA-5200 produces 200Watts RMS for each of five channels driven into eight ohms, and a frequency response of 20Hz to 20kHz with 0.5 percent THD. A multi-channel theater amplifier competitive with the best two-channel audio amplifiers, it has a warm, refined presence that can bring nearly any speaker to its full musical potential. Tracking Downconverter technology keeps it running cool.The TGA-5200 generates 400 watts RMS per channel into four ohms, and 800 watts RMS per channel into two ohms. Additional features include current-source and voltage-source outputs for the main left and right channels, a signal- present auto-on switch, a 12-volt DC trigger input, balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA inputs, and high-quality five-way binding posts. ohms.The big breakthrough is the uncanny tracking downconverter, which uses 18 Herculean Mosfetsin the TGA-5400 and the TGA-5200. This allows the amplifi er to produce phenominal power output,without the heat generated by conventional designs.The circuit boards are heavy glass epoxy, double sided, with a Faraday shield on the back side. Allresistors in the signal path are 1% tolerance, metal-fi lm. Critical ca pac i tors are fi lm devices with highdielectric strength and ultra low absorption characteristics. An enor mous power source built around amassive power transformer provides the ultimate muscle for limitless dynamics.We could go on and on, but here’s the best part: we’ve included two kinds of outputs on the frontleft and front right channels:(1) a standard voltage-source (i.e., near zero im ped ance) output for all typical applications and:(2) a higher-impedance current-source output, which many prefer for electrostatic, planarmag net ic, or ribbon speakers. Or you can biwire your system with the voltage source drivingthe woofer(s) and the current source driving the upper part of the system. In many cases thisprovides by far the best possible in ter face between the amplifi er and the speaker system.Whichever way you decide to hook up the amplifi er, it will create a multilayered sound stage that isdeep, wide, three-di men sion al, and utterly be liev able. The optional cur rent-source output can coaxforth a sen su ous, delicately detailed musical voice long associated with low-powered classic tubeamplifi ers. (The current-source char ac ter is tic of vacuum tubes is the dominant factor in the sound-stage delivery of classic tube amplifi ers).
