| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Hi Tuan89, I'm glad the GP worked out for you. It's the best affordable upgrade, better than tube rolling I think. The attenuator is the first thing the signal sees when it enters the amp, so a crappy volume pot will degrade the sound from the beg... | |
| Why does Amps/Preamps forum have most threads? Yea, tubes are cool, the best looking audio part IMHO. | |
| Why does Amps/Preamps forum have most threads? Thanks for your fine answers. I used to drool over speakers, but as I get older I am growing much fonder of amplifiers. A beautifully built and sounding amp, especially tubed ones, do it for me like no other. May be it's the glow, the warmth, the ... | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Audiozen, You have an unhealthy obsession with Bob. Seek professional help. You'll get no more response from me. | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Audiozen, you are a broken record. Please stop. Don't you realize that in the end Bob did not have control over the bean counters who wanted to maximize profit? He quit those companies in part because he lost control over his products by the inves... | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Mitch4t, you have an awesome system. For the record, Bob Carver was the designer of Bob Carver, LLC. Bob C was not in charge of the financial side of the operation; Bob F was. My understanding is that the decision to sell to Emotiva was made by Bo... | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Sorry I couldn't help myself. The guy has one track mind and such hatred for carver products and the man himself. I apologize to the tea party and Sara Palin ;) | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Obviously enough people care about Bobs new amp that several threads were initiated here and multiple threads on other forums. And his new amp got product of the year award by TAS. You really need to pipe down. Your are so tea party, Sara Palinisk... | |
| Tube Mono-Block Recommendation Did you already change the stock volume pot with the Goldpoint stepped attenuator? If you did, I would bypass your preamp and go directly from source to amp. It's an eye opener, or should I say ear opener. A more expensive mod would be to replace ... | |
| Tube Mono-Block Recommendation Before you spend a lot of money on a new amp, may I suggest a simple mod. Replace the stock volume pot in your Carver amp with Goldpoint stepped attenuator. You will get speed and dynamics that you are looking for and will only cost you $150 for t... | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Unfortunately, you have no experience with his new amps, so no credibility calling his new gear junk. As far his old stuff goes, that's your experience. There are forums dedicated to old Carver gear, so there are a lot of satisfied customers out t... | |
| Tube Mono-Block Recommendation Dragon, how do you like the sound of Bob's tube mono block? Not sure if you read my prior post about simple mods to Bob's amp that will significantly improve the sound of the amp. You can drive 1 ohm loads with his amp. | |
| Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva Audiozen, before you go trashing Carver, what is your experience with his new line of tube amplifiers? I've had his 200 watt amplifier for the past 3 years and never had one single issue with the amp. It is the most reliable and stable tube amp I ... | |
| most euphonic DACs? The Zanden DAC. Euphonic in the best possible sense. | |
| DACs With Killer Built-In Preamps IME, having a stepped attenuator installed into the input stage of my amplifier gave me the best sound I heard in my system. I've tried both active and passive preamps, both colored the sound more. I've actually had increased dynamics, soundstagin... |
