| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Bob is awesome. I'm glad he's in high end tube audio again. Last time was back in the 80's with is Silver 7 mono blocks. | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Vic, I understand your concern. Personally, I think the Goldpoint mod would be the easiest and most bang for the buck improvement. Carver should offer this as an upgrade option. | |

| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Jeff, the output coupling caps are 0.22 uF. There is a feedback cap in there that is 2.2 uF. All you have to do is pop the hood and check. | |

| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Anyone rolled the 12AX7 and 12A7? The best I've tried so far is the Psvanes. They sound better to me than the NOS Telefunken smooth plate 12AX7 and RCA 12AT7 combination. | |

I have heard that the KT120s on the BBs may sound a little sweeter up top than the stock KT88s in the Che... | |
