Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva

They are not really supporting the so called warranty on the tubes and I guess the amplifier it self. The amp is hand built in t he US for what I have been told. But to be honest if the company wont support the warranty simply omit the information off the website and don't offer it. It just feels like false promise to me. I have decided to keep the amps, now since warranty wont be supported I will just upgrade the volume pots and capacitors inside the amp to take them up a few level. I have just ordered another Pre-amp from Bill Baker from Purity audio.

Dragon, I hear you.

The Purity is an interesting design. I remember seeing show photos of them being paired with Carvers. What are you currently using and what are you about to get?

Getting the Atma MA2

Running my Bobs with the Bill Bakers Leanna line of preamp. I like the sound of his pre-amps compared to many others iv tried including VAC.

At the moment am using the purity with Clayton M300. Once the Atma is delivered, I will use the Clayton with the Danley SH50 for HT Duties and acquire the M200 for Centre Channel.

The Bobs are moving into a smaller room now, and will start modifying the amps with better caps and volume pot. Just disappointed on how Bob and the new buyers are acting these days with pricing and support. Total disappointment.

Just ordered a Pair of Legacy audio Whisper XD too, that should arrive in 2 weeks.

FYI, using the customerservice@emotiva.com email from the Bob Carver site I requested a replacement tube on 10/7 and received a reply on 10/8.

[["All we need is a copy of your purchase order to proceed with a replacement. If you tell me a quantity you need I will try to get a price. I recommend replacing output tubes in pairs, each push pull configuration.

Thanks,
