Bob Carver LLC has been purchased by Emotiva

Only good thing about without warranty is now I can "all in" on all the modification :)
I did change: volume pot, 5 coupling caps, 6 resistors, swapped in KT120s.
Sweet and well-designed tube amps

Hi Dragon_vibe,
I just want to confirm that Bob confirmed the new KT150s fit the Cherry 180? I received email from one of the Carver tech said I can use KT120s in them and might be gain 10-15 wpc. The new KT150 looks nice with egg-shape glass :)
Thanks

I see a lot of banter going on regarding the warranty on Bob Carver LLC, products, ie the Cherry 180 & Black Beauty 305, etc. Has anyone checked with thier dealer? Well I did. My dealer confirmed that Emotiva is honoring the 7 year warranty on all products made under the Bob Carver LLC entity.They will do the repairs. So check with your dealer.My dealer also mentioned that BC is regrouping and may be making a comeback in the next few months or so. I mentioned to my dealer that it would great to get a schematic of the 180's for my records as I plan on keeping these for a very long time. Awesome amps.

Could you update me which upgrades you have done and which resistors you have swapped out. I don't care much now about the warranty. I don't like emailing emotive, I have tried and they have ignore all my emails so when someone says the dealer claims this and that. Its all thin air to me.

I changed
1- the volume pot with GP
2- Coupling cap (2 each per amp .22uF) with JFX - Premium Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitors
3- Feedback cap 1 each 2.2uF with JFX - Premium Metallized Polypropylene Film Capacitors
4- 6 resistors in signalling path (each amp) 2.2kOhm 2watt
5- Roll with KT-120s power tubes
