| Carver 305 and Bias with Magnepans' I don't have Maggie's but gallo's and I prefer between 90 and 100 with my carvers. | |
| KT-150's and Carver Black Beauty Mono Blocks Bob is currently doing mods to my 180's to run the 150 tubes. Hopefully will have hem by the end of June. | |
| Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review 200 for the internals and 600 for the kt-150's. Think he gave me a good price due to it cost me almost 300 to send them to Washington and back. Just got an email and they should be done in the next month. | |
| Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review With your 305's the power increase would not be that much, maybe only 10 to 20 watts at the 8 taps. In my case I'm going from 180 watts to 315 or so watts which will make a much more significant sound improvement not only from the new tubes but al... | |
| Bob Carver LLC Black Beauty Review I love my cherries! I sent mine to bob so he can modify them to work with the kt-150 tubes. He has had them for almost two months, I'm have withdrawal...... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Looks like he has the 180 replacement up on the site now. The 200 uses a different tube and has a upgraded power supply. Site says $6950 for a pair. | |
| Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ? +1for the carver cherry 180's! What I like so much about these is the ability to adjust the amps to different speakers and room conditions. Having the option to alter the bias and feed back on the fly gives the ability to have a lot of tube flavor... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Might have to send him a message to see if he had an upgrade program. Just don't know if there would be enough sonic improvement to warrant the up charge. | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Carver has his new site up with some improved 305 that he is calling the 350. Looked like it uses the kt-150's with a improved power supply. He also added some balanced inputs and a two ohm speaker tap. The picks look more like his ebay offerings ... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Vic,I did read that review, he was pretty harsh! He also did a review on the small carver amp and trashed it as we'll. I sent him a message saying I had a pair and asked if he had any recommendations on how to improve them and he responded with th... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Vic,What YouTube video are you talking about, could not find anything about the 180's and power specs. | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly I know a guy who had to have his cherries modified by bob him self to run the 150's. Bob upgraded the power supply to that of the 305 black beauties. For the upgrade and the tubes it was $2000. Me personally, I would save the money for some better... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly I think what he meant was with a brand new set of tubes you could have one amp that will max out at 130 and one at 150. I am guessing that carver didn't match the amps from a max bias stand point ( 140 with a 140 or 130 with a 130) and just shippe... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Vic! Great to have you back in the thread. Apparently emotiva kept some of carvers staff when they purchased the company. Since my last post I have talked to another emotiva staff member was a carver tech and didn't know I had talked to the first ... | |
| Bob Carver 180 Mono-blocks perform superbly Talked to emotiva and they are honoring the carver warranty. The tech that I talked to did say that the bias will have different high and lows depending on the tubes along with the fact that carver didn't match the mono blocks when the were shippe... |
