Is Bob Carver Still in Business?


I have tried to contact the Bob Carver company on some advice on tubes used with the Black Raven 350 amp via phone, email, and through his latest listed distributor Jim Clark.

No one answers the phone, returns emails etc.

The 25 is indeed driving the blade 2 nicely. I'm spinning ditties, mostly vinyl jazz, 8+ hrs/day. The bass is there, which is impressive. 8 woofers in all it's driving. 

upshift: my rig is on the system page. 

 

Today is day 22 of my Black Magic. HOWEVER it’s day 2 of my second unit. Dug the solo so much decided to go mono. I knew it needed help here & there.

So it’s early, haven’t wound them up yet. The main difference with monos is oddly I listen at slighter lower volume than usual. Not higher, lower. Weird, no? But it sounds so rich at lower volume I haven’t turned it up once in 2 days.

Imma gonna do a separate proper thread on these soon.

I thought the 25 was stereo only?  I couldn't find any specs on the unit other than for 2 channel output. 

@zufan +1. the pics look awesome, congrats.

I am thinking of getting the RPM V12 tube preamp when it comes out. I don't use passive speakers and this might be the last pre Bob makes. I own a Sunfire Processor, a Carver amp and like his gear. I'll see what happens when it is released.

@mofimadness true, I just now added pic of how to mono these. Pic is from them, it's not my rig (I use Fidelium). But same config of course. 

@kota1 Same here. Just bought a primaluna pre though, about a week ago, & it's def doing the job. But an all carver rig doth have appeal.
