| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? Zapho, I agree with you. The Cherry 180s are very special. | |
| Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review I hear you Mrtennis. Sometimes the classic lush tube sound is welcomed compared to some of the newer more "solid state" sounding tube amps. You can make the Carver tube amp sound more lush by tweaking the bias and feedback, but it is still not lik... | |
| Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review Mrtennis, while I applaud your enthusiasm for MV125, you do realize that is your opinion of what a tube amp should sound like. Others will have entirely different view. I know the classic CJ sound, very lush and seductive but colored compared to m... | |
| What value cap to bypass power supply cap? Thanks. Will try with fewer caps to keep things simple. | |
| What value cap to bypass power supply cap? Sequence of bypass caps to cover broader range of filtering from several hundred kHz to 10s of MHz. They will be at the amplifier end as you recommend. | |
| Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review Bob Farinelli has nothing to do with the actual circuitry. | |
| What value cap to bypass power supply cap? 1/50 spacing 0.01, 0.47, and 22 microF also seems reasonable.1/100 spacing 0.01, 1, 100 doesn't seem to reasonable because 100 microF film caps can get expensive. | |
| What value cap to bypass power supply cap? From many I have talked to, most agree to use bypass caps as close to the amplifier end as possible to filter out those ultra high freq noise in the hundreds of kHz into MHz. So can everyone agree on one sequence of capacitor values that makes sen... | |
| What value cap to bypass power supply cap? Thanks Al, for your wisdom. I will make sure I follow the guide lines provided by you, Kijanki, and Dave. | |
| What value cap to bypass power supply cap? Guys, I feel like a monkey being taught how to speak sign language. Dave, thanks for the watered down analogy of the tank filter. I'll see if this can be incorporated in my amp. | |
| Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review Chachas, I find your remarks about Bob ill-informed and nasty, to the point of personal attack. If you were an audio designer of some productivity, may be you can give a credible opinion about Bob's designs. As far as I can tell, you have no exper... | |
| Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review Namikis, yes I think the main difference between the Cherrys and Blacks are transformers power rating and perhaps the power supply caps. I think for relatively reasonable expense by replacing the stock coupling caps and volume pot, you will hear a... | |
| Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review I have a pair of the Cherry 180s, bought when Bob used to sell them on eBay. Mine was built with some modifications...V-Cap output coupling caps, Furutech RCAs, Vampire copper binding posts, and non-captive cords. It also has the vintage pie wound... | |
| What value cap to bypass power supply cap? Hi Kijanki, I will need to think about your wiring scheme to make sense of it. I'm not an experienced DIYer.I think I will use high purity copper wiring with Teflon jacket.As for the Hyperions, I'm not sure if I can answer that question. However, ... | |
| What value cap to bypass power supply cap? Oh I see. That makes sense, but I thought you want the bypass caps as close to the power supply caps as possible? The further away the bypass cap is, the less effective the filtering, no?I thought the 0.1 microF cap will handle those high frequenc... |
