Carver M-1.0t - Restored in flawless condition

Highly reviewed "sleeper" power amplifier ("the great Stereophile/Conrad-Johnson Premier Five killer") that has had a complete service/upgrade ($600+) by Nelion Audio less than 6 months ago. Nelion is the leading Carver specialist and the service includes too much to list here, but the amp is better than new and has to be heard to be believed. Don't buy a vintage amp without doing this kind of service!!! Read about it (detailed description and photos) on the Nelion website.:

The M1.0t mkII opt002 upgrade gives the 1.0t a much higher power rating, more headroom, less commutation distortion, better current sourcing and performance into low impedance loads, and tighter bass and transient control. This mod includes replacement of all consumable parts, reflow of questionable solder, the thump fix, all service bulletins, new 5-way binding posts, cleaning inside and out. Amp is burned-in and thoroughly tested against factory specs, as well as upgraded specs. Flawless cosmetic and operating condition.
