278.0. "Carver CD player" by ZGOV01::CTTAN () Sun Feb 02 1986 03:58

I've just auditioned the Carver CD player and like it alot. However, I do
not have the opportunity to compared it against any of the new 3rd generation
cd players. 

I would like to hear from those who have, their opinions about this Carver
player. In particular, is it really worth paying so much more compared to
those japanese models.

	I have a Carver CD Player as well as a Technics SLP-1 and a Sony D7. I like the effect of the Digital Time Lens on the Carver. The Carver has a fuller, richer sound than the others and, in particular, analog recorded material sounds much better when processed by the Time Lens. It is not as easy to program as the Technics which has a keypad but that is not important to me. The Carver also has a little trouble tracking damaged disks that the other two will track.I don't know if this is characteristic of Carvers or if it is just my Carver that needs adjustmnet. I haven't gotten around to taking it in. j

	Re: .1 If your Carver is anything like my SONY, there are two pots that determine tracking. To fix it I suggest going to a repair center. The pots need to be adjusted while using a special test disc and an osiliscope (sp?). Steve

	I thought the Carver was great, but not worth $650. I bought a Sony CDP-70B for $269.88. pbm

	Any ideas what CARVER's design follows, the major japanese models or the Phillips? I do agree that's $650 is alot, but where I belong (the far east) buying a Carver cost as much as buying 3 Yahama CD-X3! cttan

	An ad for Carver CD players says that you can buy the Digital Time Lens as a seperate component and attach it to your system. Does anyone know what this costs? Dan

	The Carver Digital Time Lens sells for between $200 and $250.
