| Carver Raven 350 Amps Glad you ordered the 350. If you want to take the 350s to another level, try the mods I suggested. You won't be disappointed. | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps Glad to have helped. Good luck. Let us know what you decided on. | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps Ozzy, it depends on which amp you’re comparing the Carver’s to and what your preferences are. Are you referring to the review by J. Valin? His reference amps are fast SS amps, I believe. In that context, I’m not surprised by Valin’s assessment. Th... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps Ozzy, That has never been my experience with any of Bob's tube amps (I've heard the 350 and Silver 700 monster as well.). Context is very important. What was the preamp, source, and speakers used to evaluate the 350 that showed "severe" drop off... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps Ozzy, just realize that all manufacturers claim every new version is significantly better than the older version ;)You shouldn't have any output tube failure in the first year of operation. I have owned the Carver amp for 8 years now with zero out... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps Funny you should ask as I have owned both Atma M-60 amp (with Vcaps and Caddock resistors) and currently own the Carver Cherry 180 mono blocks (Vcap output coupling caps and Gold Point stepped attenuator instead of the stock volume pot). It is th... | |
| Anthem getting into two channel with new STR pre-amp-- anyone heard it? Are dealers allowed to hawk their wares on these threads and put down others they don’t sell? | |
| No love for Verity? Underrated as hell. I prefer Verity over any Magico, Vandersteen, or the like. | |
| Carver Power Amps There are always Carver naysayers who judge the man based on a few solid state amps that may or may not have been designed by Bob himself. Every designer I can think of have designed a dud at least once in his career. As far a current Carver tube... | |
| Where to find steel dome cones for speakers Looks like those are not the ones I recall want. I've seen ones specifically for audio equipment that were half spheres and about 1.5 to 2 inches in diameter. | |
| Where to find steel dome cones for speakers thank you imhififan. | |
| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Oh yes, Electron Kinetics. I had the Eagle 2a. Great bass and dynamics, flat earth imaging.The best of the 70's and 80's that I've owned or own. Threshold SA3 slightly modded power supply bypass caps and Bedini 25/25. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Kenny, I figured you selected better parts to suit your preference. If I get my hands on DI, I would entertain installing Duelund caps and resistors and scatter wound inductors. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Kenny, I plan on having the DI for home audition. I just made a major purchase of another pair of speakers, so it won't be until later in the summer. BTW, without going into details about your mod to the DI, did you make further upgrade with bett... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Can anyone explain how the DI produces such great sound with those multiple tweeters right next to each other? I would think all the phase and interference problems would be audible. |
