Carver did design an amp to accurately reproduce the music. It
turned out that people would rather have an amp that sounds like
the Levinson, so he modified the original design to make the
customer happy.

I think the way he is able to mimic another amplifier so easily
shows that he really knows how to make an amplifier do what he
wants. If he says his original design does what an amp should
do, he's probably right. But people wanted the Mark Levinson
sound. It's pretty funny, I think.
