| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly I have a Sunfire tube preamp w/phono (even though I have no LP collection) & remote, but I decided I would go with the McIntosh C50 instead for my bedroom set-up. The Sunfire is now boxed-up and in the garage. I'd only part with it for a premi... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Pittsburgh is a bit closer than shipping it to the west coast. If Pitt doesn't workout for you, I'm sure there are some other tech's/shops out your way that could assist you. Actually I would reeeally look for a shop within a two to three hours dr... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Whew! I'm kinda glad I ended up getting mine straight from Bob himself if that's the case. Curious if you used any of the Sunfire amps and what were your impressions, good or bad, of them? If so, with what pre-amp & speakers? | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Not assure what you mean when you say, "...carver didn't match the mono blocks when the were shipped." I have totally different tubes in, than the tubes that came with the amps. My Cherries appear to be matched when I have all the new tubes in and... | |

I am not sure how true this info is, but just thought I would pass it on in the event you run into complications getting results with your inquiry. Man! I need Bob's New 900watt Silve... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly I have the Psvane tubes also and go back and forth between them & the Mullards. What are your impressions of the Psvanes? Did you change both of the smaller tubes or just the 12ax7?With the KT-120's plugged in, the min. you can bias the amp is... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly When I bought the amp, direct from Bob, he gave me the option to have him send me the KT-88's that he normally sends or the KT-120's; his new company didn't come online 'til a short time later. Anyhow, I ended up having him send me the standard tu... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly The 12ax7 & 12at7 Psvane tubes I installed 3 years ago have been the best of the few tubes I tried when I was doing the tube rolling thing. That was my 1st time with tube equipment. I tried and ranked them this way:1st Psvane - Well balanced a... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly ...oh, and did you get matched pairs/quads of the .22 V-caps? Lastly, what tolerance (5%, 1%, 0.5%) should I get? | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Dracule1 - I have a pair of Bob's Cherry 180's. I elected to run my Sunfire Signature amp over the past year because the Cherries did not provide me the extra wattage/headroom I desired; I like to listen LOUD a lot of times. Over the past couple o... | |
| Opinions on Sunfire, Carver Lightstar amps Try (active) Vertically Bi-Amping a pair of (sereies II or later) Sunfire Sig's to your speakers. OUTSTANDING!!! I have a pair of (series II) Sunfire Cinema Grands Sig's vertically (actively) powering a pair of old school Infinity IRS Beta speaker... |
