Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly


Is anyone in the Audiogon community using the Bob Carver 180 mono-blocks? I just placed a new pair in my system and I am really amazed at their performance. I am using them with the PS Audio PWD/PWT, First Sound MK-III and Tyler Acoustics D1 speakers. The price to performance ratio is outstanding. The Bob Carver 180's are producing an extremely clean, clear and open sound-stage. I can safely say they will compete with mono-blocks costing much more.
thankful
Thanks Vic,
My amp circuit laid out a bit difference.
I see 2 large Vishay with value on them as 100v 85 degree C (only these came with symmetric pair. Doesn't sound right?
How big are these caps? I also see a pair which noted 224J 630V - not sure which ones
I can send pic.
My amp is using caps denoted as Joule, not Farad
And nothing is match to .22mF :(
Any help would be appreciated
Regards
I try KT120s in Cherry 180 with good result :)
Produce stronger bass and larger soundstage, mid and high at least as good as Gold Lion KT88
I got green light from Carver staff to use these, he said KT120 will add extra 10-20 wpc. Still need time for break-in, I'm still around 5 hrs of break in period
Happy listening :)
How embarrass I am - Look further online to find how to read capacitor marking. the ones I found 224J 630V indeed .22mF @630V. The "J" is not Joule but it's 5% tolerance
I'm good now
Thanks all
Thanks for your updates Thuan98.

I had my Goldpoint attanuators installed a few weeks ago and all I can say the upgrade is 100% recommended.

The Bobs sounded fantastic with great tubes such as GL KT88's and Telefunken 12AX7 but the vol attenuators have lifted the Bobs to another playing field.

There is another level of clarity and resolution to be had that the stock volume attenuators were restricting.

I am still leaving the components as they are though as can't be happier with the sound I am getting now.
