| Carver Raven 350 Amps The shorting plug shorts the signal to the ground where the cap just covers and protects from the elements. | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps The Benchmark DAC3 has jumpers to attenuate the XLR output. I moved the jumpers from the default position (0db) to the middle setting (-10db) and now I am noise free as well. | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps @ozzy Good to hear you got it sorted out. Bob was saying he provides the XLR input for people who only have XLR outs. Similarly, the 4 and 8 ohm outs are also tied together but when he provided a single for those two he got a lot of questions. ... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps So switched to the XLR inputs on mine and it actually reduced my hum (which manifests as a hiss from the tweeter.) Now have to be inside of an inch to hear it in a fairly quiet room.Again, I am just going from the benchmark dac3 directly to the a... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps @ozzy Have you tried the RCA inputs? Maybe it is possible that your balance out to single ended in is causing a ground loop or some kind of feedback issue (not sure what Carver is doing with the unused pin.) I can try the XLR inputs on mine and ... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps @smokenjo Every speaker I listened to while visiting Bob Carver, the Carver 350 blew away the 600R for soundstage. On one of the speakers I thought the 600R had a better sound in the highs, but over all I preferred the sound from the Carver amp o... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps I have been using them at full. Since the knob is impacting both volume and gain, I am not sure how much it impacts the ability to use the full capability of the amplifier. You will, obviously, have to turn your source up further to get the same... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps @smokenjoThe hum on my Carvers is what I would consider acceptable and not caused by the amplifiers themselves.As for how they sound, they are a little bright on the speakers I have now. I am currently using the Salk HT-MTM’s I purchased 6 years a... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps On my Carvers I get a small amount of hum even with the input disconnected. It goes away when I short the inputs and even when there I have to be within ~3 inches of the speaker to hear it. This is with the amplifier volume knob at full and is t... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps 10db of gain is a fairly large difference and I would think could easily account for hearing the noise coming from the input on the Carvers while not on your other amps. LIke I mentioned before, if you pull the inputs and no longer hear the noise... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps @ozzy I sent an email to Jordan asking about the volume control and he replied that it is on the input stage. I believe this would mean it impacts both gain and volume.Erich | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps @ozzy Are the Atma-Sphere amps entirely quite (put your ear right up next to the tweeter on the driven speaker and see if you can hear any hiss)? The gain on the Carver 350 is 30db while the gain on the M-60 is 20db. Do you hear the hiss if you... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps Yes, brought them home with me yesterday. Have you received yours? | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps I went up to see Bob Carver yesterday and listen to the 350’s. After extended listening (the 350’s attached to his ALS speakers) I ended up purchasing a set of the Crimson 350 amplifiers. Bob and Jordan were both very gracious with their time and ... |
