Offered as a Package Deal

PM me if you are interested. I will be advertising this set on other sites as well.

700B 500WPC WOPL
, New build, she has a birthday which is today (Her name is Tina) and she is ready to ROCK YOUR WORLD.

Carver C-4000 with all recapped boards, all solder joints reflowed, Phono Section improvements. They sound excellent together.

As always, the AMP base unit will have new Cardas RCA's
New Speaker Terminals
DC Protection by WattsAbundant
New Back Planes and 14_20 Control Board by White Oak
New Heavy duty Bulk Power Supply Caps (160volt 15,000uf)
Fresh Heavy gauge wiring
New Power switch with inrush cap
New Output Transistors and SilPads
and more
Comes with a Lifetime warranty


Carver C4000 all reworked. What more is there to say, it will be better than the original.


Wanna keep the amp within a budget?
Original faceplate can be used (may be Fugly)
Original knobs? (may be Fugly)
Unrestored chassis and transformer (yep, may be Fugly)
Original handles with original wear
While those parts may appear to be worn, they will in NO WAY affect the operation/performance of a freshly built WOPL 1000 (White Oak Phase Linear, 500 WPC RMS).

These items have wear which varies since I have to buy a core amp to resto, or I can rework yours to the same specs as mine. I can also buy a very nice unit (cosmetically speaking) but the prices rise DRAMATICALLY as you have seen on the various auction/sales sites. Core amps run from $350-$500 for worn examples up to $700 or HIGHER for a nicer (but not perfect) example. Please do your homework, I do every day and the prices have gone WAY up for amps THAT DON"T WORK or are a "ticking Time Bomb" that needs a total rebuild. Don't rely on an amp which is 40 years old and decrepit to protect your speakers, build an amp you will never have to worry about at a fraction of the cost of a High End Amp which the WOPL 700B or Series II will Blow Away hands down.....
Levinson? No sweat, Mcintush? Ha... If it does not perform as advertised or expected, I'll give you your money back and the only question I'd ask (which I will ask anyway before your build starts) is: What are you pairing this with??? Don't expect an audiophile system with a Kraco preamp and speakers or an unmodded Kenner "Close N Play" Turntable.

PM me with needs if interested. Otherwise It will go up on the bay at a higher price due to fees. A deposit is required for custom builds.

Need references AND/OR Picture of my hand built Aural Assault Amplifiers? Can do... Just ask. I also have many examples of my builds in several threads here on Phoenix.

I was trying to say that I like how the 2 knobs on the left side of the amp are reflecting the light from the at least it looks that way to me
sorry about the misunderstanding my mind was thinking but hads left some detail out

I do have a question though what do you think about taking a paint sceme from a truck and transfering it to an amp

I like the red LEDs. Looks good Perry. Can you easily change the center script from blue to red to match?

I want you to come to cruces cause you are one of the several people I would like to meet in person on here and bring a 700 with you we will spit the out put from my preamp into 2 so we can play my 400 and your 700 at the same time and can connect both amps to one set of speakers that should be pretty loud stop at the pickquick just up the street from me and get some thing cold to drink

Connecting two amps to one set of speakers would instantly make a smoking mess out of all 4 pieces of gear.,................

Bob carver had a lot of gimmicks and was good with the buzz words. For example... His "Auto Correlation" Was just fancy for noise cancellation.

Now he talks about building his transformers with "Adamantine Steel" Only in the comic books K5....

The WOPL comes with the C-4000. I do mess with them(they respond very well to the upgrades). For my home system, i have 2 4000t which are getting hard to come by. So i got 2 WOPL conversions and one comes with a Carver pre...... soon to be 3 WOPL's ready.

The Clean reworked Carver is available with either WOPL. It Looks great with the silver WOPL Workhorse. I changed out the filter so it looks better now. I also changed the filter on the Black faced one since it looked washed out and more pink.
