Bob Carver tube amps


Hello, looking for Carver amp info the read out there is a little sketchy. Is that place still in business? And who is actually making the amps? Do the have a factory in the Pacific Northwest….I live in the Pacific Northwest so I could drive there if I had a problem.

I need a tube amp for my Klipsch speakers, you tube heads out there is this the brand I should buy or is there a better option?

I can still remember in the 70s when my father in law went to the factory and grabbed me a Phase Linear amp and preamp off the factory floor..I had more problems with that thing, once and a while it made a super load pop when you turned it on..

In the Bob Carver I stated output transformers, but all traqnsformers are in question The power transformer is rated at 180ma and 265 volts into a voltage doubler so less than 90ma is available per calculations on a power supply simulator. And the rated filament 6.3 volts current is rated 6.4 amps with an 8.45 amp load. Do you understand it now?

Always wanted a carver amp.

own the 600 Sunfire, no matter the speakers used, powers on effortlessly 

great amp!

wanted those crimson 350’s, a bit too much $ for us.

there are a couple very well populated recent threads re the carver crimson 275... search and you will find, lots lots of info posted

no need to rehash here

 

Looking at the Bob Carver website it looks like the 350 mono blocks are now considered "special order".
