Carver Raven 350 Amps

Has anyone heard these amps?
They supposedly can produce 350 watts per channel which in my opinion is remarkable for a tube amp. I have the Atma-Sphere M-60’s 3.3 and I love their tube sound.

But I am curious, Bob has made some very interesting products through the years.

I am just using the cords that came with the amplifiers. No issues, so no reason to change
I bet replacing stock PC will yield bigger improvement over tube rolling.

FYI, there are 2 types of Telefunken 12XXX tubes, ribbed and smooth plates.  ribbed plate is more neutral with higher resolution.  I always prefer ribbed plates.

To those that own these amps, I just installed a couple of the SR Blue fuses in them and it really adds to the smoothness of the soundstage.
Highly recommended.

erichgs,

No I just exchanged the 1A fuse with the SR 1.6A Blue in slow blow.
