Upgrade Carver to Tube Carver question.

I do remember a Carver pre I had yrs ago. I tried an inexpensive Rotel & it was like the fog lifted. I ran the Rotel until I got the BHK pre & the fog lifted again. much better.

Slow down limomangus...
I am also curious about the Bob Carver tube amps. The prices are fair and the warranty is good as well, but looking to the distant past, I owned the Phase Linear 2000 Preamp, and it was a miserable, thin sounding piece of junk really. Pretty as it was, when I finally opened it before throwing it away, it was nearly empty! There were a couple of green printed circuit boards and a bit of wire. It could have been 90% smaller.
I do believe that things have changed.  

I don't  care what people say about Bob Carvers business practices, I have always loved  his equipment for Phase Linear, to Mt 500 amps ,to built in Sunfire subwoofer amps.

Thanks ozzy, Glad to hear that.

I am running the Carver M350 amps with my Focal Sopra 2's. Much better than the Pass Labs or Atmasphere amps prior. Very nice combination.

I've always been a Carver guy & when I saw you could buy the 350s on a 3 year same as cash I'm thinking, why not.

@fertguy I'm sure Bob Carver will sell you an amp!

You would hear a huge improvement from either the 275 or 350,
they are world class amps!
 If you have the means for the crimson 350 monos’
 jump on them!

@Ozzy should chime in soon

 your gear is nothing to scoff at, good stuff, the Carver crimson 350s’ will boost your ear candy to the upper reaches of audio.

 They have been on my (buy now) list for years, been saving for a while, as soon as the scratch is available, they are mine!

  Call/email his website, he will reply to you, regarding the serious questions.

 I wrote Mr. Carver a while back regarding the sunfire sig, he personally responded to me, I printed the email for proof and fandom!

enjoy

I just sent an email to the man himself. Bob will know.
Thanks
