$200 · "Bob" Carver C-9 Sonic Holography Generator

Lots of information on the internet about how this great device works. By far, the C-9 is renowned audio design engineer "Bob Carver's" most popular and numerous piece of audio gear he ever marketed and sold - even compared to his Phase Linear, Carver and Sunfire equipment lineups over the years. Great condition. Completely recapped and upgraded with modern semi-conductors by my own hand. Functions great! Video of the upgrade I did can be seen here: https://youtu.be/vzr91evhqxg If you are looking for a C-9, then you are familiar with what this amazing little device does. A great explanation of how a sonic holography generator works by the designer himself (Mr Bob Carver) can be found starting at 28 minutes 50 seconds into this video link here: https://youtu.be/LQ9USqpclWc FROM THE MANUAL "Carver's logical, problem-solving breakthrough brings an actual improvement in the quality of listening through complex processing of the stereo signals, and a change in relationships between the listener and loudspeakers. Now, instead of flat, between-the-loudspeaker imaging associated with conventional stereo, Sonic Holography paints a sonic picture that's remarkably believable and convincing. A listener can actually pinpoint the location of individual artists and instruments far beyond the limits of the left/right loudspeakers. At times, sound even seems to come from outside the listening room. This sense of performance is heightened by a perceived depth, as well as width, of the sonic stage created by Sonic Holography. The ambiance or acoustic signature of a recording's location, which is vital to the sound of a live music event but masked during conventional stereo playback, is restored. The total effect makes your favorite music a full, three-dimensional experience of unparalleled realism and sense of being there." Unfortunately I have too many audio toys and dwindling room in my home so this great little unit is up for grabs. Just the manual and the unit but that is all you really need. Prefer to sell locally but will ship at buyers expense to include packaging.
