Carver Raven 350 Amps

erichgs,

I also purchased the DEQX used but it did come in a DEQX box.

smokenjo,

I agree give them a try. The only other tubes that I have tried is the Telefunken and the ones that came with the amp.

I just installed Telefunken 12AT7 tubes and they also complement the Telefunken 12AX7 with the Carvers.

That is good to hear as I also have a set of Telefunken 12AT7 tubes on the way (purchased tuesday after some reading.)

Ozzy,

Just an FYI, the balanced outs on my DEQX are very noisy on the Carver 350s as well. RCA dead silent.  On the Benchmark DAC3, the balanced outs are quieter than the RCA outs, but not quite as quiet as the RCA on the DEQX. 

erichgs,

Well its nice to know that we both hear the same noise (hiss).
Bob Carver doesn’t really believe me. He thinks there is something wrong with the DEQX.
Oh well, at least with using the RCA outs on the DEQX to the Carver it is dead quite.

BTW, have you mastered the DEQX?
