Thoughts on this little oddity, anyone ...?
"Cydrome Leader"
** Bob Carver was an expert at coming up with high falutin' names for
various clever dodges he used to save weight and cost.
His " Magnetic Field " amps were nothing of the kind. They simply
employed
a triac based voltage regulator in the AC supply to improve the
regulation
factor of a ridiculously small iron transformer.
Hmm, was anybody in the 70s not obsessed with triac pre-regulation in all
sorts of power supplies?
** What drugs are you on ?
Carver amps were the virtually the only ones to use the idea and the first
( M400) came out in the early 1980s.
( Yamaha made a version and sold about 5. )
