| Carver Raven 350 Amps So I am going to keep the Carvers since they allow me to try other "hard to drive" speakers. Quads, Electrostatics, and Planers are on my list to try.I must say though my Atma-Sphere M-60 3.3’s are very nice sounding amps that I hope I do not regr... | |

| Carver Raven 350 Amps erichgs,Some equipment does not work well with the inputs shorted.I am using the DEQX as an electronic crossover and to blend the subs with my main speakers in the room. And it is quite a complicated piece of equipment that can make a big differen... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps Actually the caps do help to keep stray RF/EMI out of the signal path.ozzy | |

| PS Audio Direct Stream Memory Player I also used the WW silver starlite. The Platinum is mutlples better. | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps erichgs,I have moved my jumper and output settings on my DEQX premate to its highest output settings and still no hum. I can't tell you how satisfying it is to have discovered the source of the hiss. It was amazing that I missed something so obvio... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps erichgs,Yes dead quite. If there is any noise I can't hear it. BTW, I also placed rca non shorting caps on the rca inputs. Perhaps that's what took it to zero noise.Everything matters...Now to experiment with input tubes...ozzy | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps erichgs, and others.Well I finally found the reason for the hiss. I was using the XLR output of the DEQX preamp with a XLR cable into the Carver XLR input.Since the Carver does not have a true balanced input (but my DEQX preamp does have a true ba... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps erichgs,No need to. Bob says the RCA and XLR are wired together as a single ended input. The XLR is there for convenience not for a true balanced connection. So either rca or xlr should perform the same.ozzy | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps erichgs,If I connect the output from my Direct Stream Dac directly to the Carver amps there is very little hiss.But if I connect the Direct Stream output to the input of the BSG QOL or to my DEQX Premate preamp and then to the Carver amps I get th... | |
| Carver Raven 350 Amps Erichgs, Dracule 1,Are you using the volume setting on the Carver at full level? I can reduce the hiss if I reduce the Carver volume knob to the 12:00-1:00 position, but, by doing that am I reducing the Carver 350 watts per channel capability?ozzy | |
| PS Audio Direct Stream Memory Player jl35,Yes a few 4K others that I had that work great for Video but the WW Platinum was the best for the sound quality.ozzy | |
| HD Tracks I am now unable to access the site addyson815,Thanks for your reply. Then I'm pretty sure it must be in my computer settings that is blocking it someway. Infortunatly I am not that computer ozzy | |
