[rec.audio.high-end] Carver's TX-11b

thurlow@convex.com (Robert Thurlow) (07/08/90)

I was reminded by the "A Test of Tuners" article that I've been wanting
to ask about the Carver TX-11 (now up to the 'b' model) for a long time.
I'm looking for first-hand experiences, preferably.  How good/bad does
it sound with the psychoacoustic processing stuff switched out?  What
does that stuff do when it's switched in, and is it ever useful?  Does
the AM section (stereo, even!) sound good?  And (maybe the thing I care
about most) how is the sensitivity and quieting on the beast?  I'm
apartment-bound, and I've got my eye on some weak stations I want to
listen to; antennae I've tried so far don't help enough.  When I do get
to put up a real antenna, the DX in my blood will keep me going, too :-)
Email or comments here are fine; thanks in advance.
