UPDATED pix, it IS a M1.5t, fan vent high power etc. Had briefly for second system, more power than I needed. 350 into 8ohm, most my BPs are 6 ohm so this was bit high total distortion at high levels esp. On 4 to 6 ohm speakers. The 0.1 thd doesn’t go up with watts as other amp but does get hotter and high with more ohm loads. Has a replace fan and some abrasion and wear marks from years of use. Works as should and the soft power on needs some kind of amp relay or preamp to power on or off. Bob Carver thought some of his Amps stay on constantly with very low current drain til high power use. Amp has a static light buzz or feedback from fan at no volume, doesn’t go up with volume but auditable at idle and between track’s. Loud as heck, my speakers pound and a bit course with. 1% thd, higher than most of Bobs amps but this design was for audio more than musical. May need capacitor replacement in future as old amps tend to need this eventually.
