I heard Emotive bought Bob Carvers tube company


Is this true or just a rumor?

This has been a hot topic on the audio forums for the last days.
From their facebook page:

"Bob will now be able to develop his great designs with the full engineering support of Emotiva's resources".

It should be a good thing.
Response 34, who is we? Who are you? What preamplifier are you talking about that has been shown with the VTAs?

The majority of shows posted show the VTAs being paired with Purity Audio pre's.

Bob needs engineering support from emo engineers, really? My personal experience with emo gear would prove emo engineers are the ones in dyer need of every aspect of amplifier design except how to produce stunningly inexpensive drek.

If you are affiliated with emo will they be honoring my seven year Carver LLC warrantee without slapping any emo identification on them?

Did emo assist Carver LLC employees in relocation expenses and a raise?
Response34, pardon my questions. I assumed you were from emo. Your Purity preamplifiers are very interesting.
I am not associated with Emotiva in any way. I am a partner and the designer for Purity Audio Design. Yes, you were correct in that we (Purity) have been showing with Carver for all their past shows.

"...Bob needs engineering support from emo engineers, really?...."

I hope I didn't imply this (I didn't go back and read my original post). Bob will continue to do the design work for the Carver pieces.

"....Did emo assist Carver LLC employees in relocation expenses and a raise?....."

That's not something I would know.
There are junk made all over the world and not exclusively in China. If you don't like the new Carver products, buy something else. What's the big deal? Either they go out of business or have to improve their products.
