The article on "nulling" a Carver amp against a Mark Levinson amp was
very interesting, both for Carver's technical approach, and for
what I feel is a very smart marketing approach.  There was on critical
set of information missing, however.  To determine whether the two amps
are really identical, it is necessary to know what the total set of input
signals that were applied during the nulling process was.  For example,
if the nulling was done only with steady-state sine waves, frequency range
of sine waves applied, impulse signals applied (if any), tone bursts, etc.

I'm not trying to imply that this wasn't done; just that I would want to
see this information before fully accepting that a true "nulling" was 
accomplished.

(Of course, the whole question is academic to me, anyway, as even the Carver
amp is more money than I've got to spend on an amp!)

Was this info included in the original article sent with the Carver amp?
